last one's Iv Posted another car on the forum

Wow! That is the car that had the reputation of being the "one to beat" when I was a lad. It used to be in magazine ads etc.

Sorry the scan is crap.

Some good info and pics there thanks

Those wings were strong!

I think that is DartGirl on the Aussie Daytona....

Big Willy
IIRC he pretty much ran a dragstrip for the street kids in LA, wasn't it on an island or something...

Yes that was it - Brotherhood raceway on terminal island

Mr Norm you beet me to it

Big Willie's car, is the one in the opening scene of Two Lane Blacktop

Apparently the surviving big Willie Daytona was never one of his race cars, it was a tow car, sat in his backyard for years. He lost one in the acid dip tank and his wife's car got wrecked in a race. Don't know how many he had mind...

Don't you hate it when that happens? I have lost so many Daytonas that way.

Always suspected an old mate of mine lost his first wife that way too.

I was going to try and find out more about it, but I just know what's going to happen if I type "Big Willie" into Google...

I've never been able to find much on the net about him, there were threads on Moparts and dodgecharger.com when that car came up on ebay about 2 years ago.

Hmmm...
