Just got this with 42 other unbelievable photos. They came from Craig Martell in Sandusky, Ohio. ! Craig was originally from Bristol,Ct. and moved in 1994.Dosn’t have a computer…saw article in Drag Racer Magazine, and checked us out on friends computer. Went to Dover back when …with guys from Terryville And Bristol. Will post more real relavent finds in his collection in Historical Dover Photos, But entire collection will go to ODF Premium Members growing Archives of submitted collections .
HERES the ONLY shot we have recieved to date of the Tazmanian Monster…one of my favorites and if not mistaken would pair up with the ‘Hearse ” for a great run. Need more on the car ! —info and photos.
Have a few clips of this running …But NOBODY out there has a color of this or knows Who it was ?
Hi Dino ; It was yellow , and sounded great … small inch ,supercharged , small block … ear piercing … remember it like it was yesterday … one of my favorites 😛 . Billy
Me to…remember the yellow and it is the car that made me like sedan deliveries. It was definitely an attention getter.
You’ll see it in the Big Video!…just found great footage of it running.
Got my wish ! …In the big Batch of Slides From Kevin Dunn…theTaz is in a bunch of shots ! and of course : Great Color ….think theres even some notes as to who owned it . around ’64-’65 .
