History of this FED
« on: April 29, 2016, 01:12:07 AM »
Hi All
Looking to find some information regarding this Front Engine Dragster.

It raced at New England Dragway in the late 1960s. Apparently held the track record. Had a 426 HEMI installed ....then recently a small block Chevrolet.

Originally driven by Ron McCassey from Canada.

Any information would be appreciated.

Kind regards

- Rob

Good luck on your search. It took me 2 years 😱  Looks like a Woody Gilmore from the front.
