OK, so what was your favorite car?
I have one in mind, very unique, one of a kind design & successful early drag car....
I'll try to find a photo

This wild contraption was my favorite car at Garlits place: The Bustle Bomb, 2 engines, one in front of driver & one behind rear axle... & 2 different engines, 391 ci caddy & 345 ci Olds!

Bustle bomb is unique for sure, but gosh couldn't pick a favorite. I kinda knew Jim Bucher, whos Chevy powered top fuel dragster was there, so I'm partial to it, but don't you have to wonder how Don talked people outta the cars he has acquired? Musta paid unreal amounts for some of them.
