yblock32deuce.  Jerry now runs a 56 T-Bird, this was a similar '57 T-Bird he built about ten years ago.

The one you saw last year was Jerry Christensen's 56 Blackbird. The 57 pictured above hasn't been out for a few years, I bought it as a roller and I'm ssslllooowwwwly getting a new Y engine together for it. Barry L

I almost forgot about Eddie, where's Vic?
By Ted - 14 Years Ago
Ooooops.  How could We forget Vic?

By Vic Correnti - 14 Years Ago
Miss one year and these guys forget all about you. (I"LL BE BACK; to refresh your memories).

The first one is Mickey Bogden from Canada.  Unique front bumper is had crafted from aluminum and polished.  Looks original except there is no flat place with slotted holes for a license plate.  He says it weighs 10 pounds.  We also forgot Gordon Payne, although the only way he could get the wheels up on that car is with a jack.
By MoonShadow - 14 Years Ago
You mean Jack, as in "Rousch"BigGrin Chuck in NH
By Ted - 14 Years Ago
John.  Tried to find a picture of your ‘Bird with a jack under it but to no avail.  Here’s a pic of Gordon driving it and also another shot I found of the kind of competition Gordon was lined up with.

There's an angle for convincing her to go to Columbus. There are always some 'birds.
By GREENBIRD56 - 14 Years Ago
On a quick look through - I'd say that Black is a pretty popular color for drag T-birds.....
By bird55 - 14 Years Ago
well…if I can get a trans back in mine, I hope to be on that list this summer.



Here's an old favorite of mine. Hehe Can't remember what it was running. from salt lake city.

You know Charlie  I would have no problem getting her to come to Columbus but as a teacher she can't get away at that time in the year.  She did say that she might be able to do without me for a week so I could drive back there one year, which I hope to do sometime with the Alaskan on the back of my truck and a Front Engine Dragster in tow.

Let's stir this again, thus some of you can't handle Linda BigGrin

Any input about these?
