Crazy Overkill!

I think this took alot of thought to build to say the least. Pretty neat. Although, I'd hate to have to pull a valve cover on that thing LOL!

wtf

DAM

That was built in the 80's.

And it didnt run for shyt

Carb'd, turbo'd & supercharged. Wow. And holy gauges batman! No way you can watch all those. :lol:

 

[Detroit Style Dragger]

I dig the twin charging but, not the sea of gauges. Luckily, we have lap tops that show us all the things we need/want to see.

IIRC, you can't pull the valve covers on a 5.4L DOHC in a mustang either without pulling the motor. I can think of a few other configurations as well.

Looks purty though.

Wonder if he even starts that car....

 

[cjmatt]

honestly looks like you could actually pull the valve cover after just removing those two wormclamps on the pressure pipe and removing it...

It ran, slowly, around the fair grounds. It was built right at the beginning of interest in the ProStreet movement(early 80's), when looks were more important than brute performance. It got a lot of magazine coverage and won the coveted Street Machine of the Year from CarCraft in 1981 or 82. Ive never seen any track coverage or numbers posted, and at the 82 Street Machine Nationals, the owner refused to run a certain black Mopar that is now owned by a member of this board. Id say it was probably a 13 sec(maybe hi 12's) ride.

its called pro fairground looks fast but isnt

Here's a pic of the other vehicle this guy(Rick Dobbertin) made. The J2000(1986) is even more over the top than the Nova, and the Milk Tank was made to circumnavigate the earth, but that never happened.

I've always felt that if a little's good, and a lot's better, then too much is just right.

...wow...

 

[hooray for farva]

im suprised nobody commented on the sheer stupidity of that . it seems the the butterflys in the hat are now acting as a b.o.v for the turbos ... i roffled.

thats thinking that the turbos will be out driving the s/c and releasing the excess boost pressure and fuel ... unless they dont open at all .. then this post looks as ridiculous as his setup.

I had a model of that J2000. I think it was turbo also. These cars bring back alot of memories. As for the tank thing... no idea what that is.

 

[hooray for farva]

yes it does. i was a young prostreet enthusiast ... until i realized that they were show queens .

The J2000 was another TwinTurbo with a supercharger.

He intended to drive/sail the tank thing around the world, it ended up not being sea worthy.

is the spray really needed at that point?

Both cars were exercises in excess, built to be over the top when compared to what else was being built at the time

Much like this
