What cars were factory Super Stockers in the 1960's drag racing wars? (Made by GM, Ford, Chrysler, AMC... and factory built only to drag race, sometimes not street legal in any way)
I don't know anyone (I know they are out there, but I don't have them on the phone to ask for a helping hand to edit this)
who knows more about all of the vast car world in general (versus hot rod or sports car fanatics for example)
than I do (I am not a specialist)
because I'm just a car guy
(like I say in this website title)
with a passion for all things with wheels and have learned a friggin ton about all makes and models, from all countries and eras. So there are some errors in semantics, writing, and use of the English language following...
And I seemed to have irritated all the HAMBers by coming across as a know it all that doesn't/hasn't worked on any cars. Only one realized I was asking for help, not challenging them to a pissing contest. Of course, they shut off the thread in 9 hours flat from the time they started commenting on it, before I got online today, where I could have explained that my linguistic skills are so poor that my miscommunication of asking for their help to make this set of questions was my fault, and now I am unable to clarify to them that I went to them for help in making a fun/enjoyable test where the questions weren't redundant, vague, misleading. They didn't seem to understand the words "help please" when I asked for editting assistance
but I hope you enjoy this challenge, and maybe win a bet among your friends as to who knows more about cars.
I've tried not to drift into obscure things like option codes, COPO cars, designers, one off unique prototypes, etc
So I apologize for coming off as a know it all, and offending so many of you , because I simply am not fluent enough to communicate that this was intended as a fun test, not a presumptuous / pretentious challenge from me to you.
I don't have anyone with more knowledge about pre-1976 cars in general to fall back on as a 2nd checker, to proofread this test for the correct way to form the question without being to vague,
accuracy,
mistakes,
and questions that a regular car guy wouldn't have a chance of knowing.
If you are that guru of the car guy world, PLEASE email me and help me make this test better! jbohjkl@yahoo.com
