Re: Big Willie....... LA
In the opening scene of Two Lane Blacktop you can see Big Willie running his '69 Daytona in a street race right before the star '55 runs against a '70 AAR Cuda (later said to have a Hemi w/a Torqueflite)

Re: Big Willie....... LA
A lotta people have always wondered what happened to that hemi Daytona. The rumor I heard was that the body shell was acid dipped a little too long and caved in on itself in the acid dip tank and was scrapped. Anyone else have any info?

Ken
 Guess I'm watching Two Lane again tonight. I'm just saying that guy looks scary; even if I had a car that would beat him, would I do it?

Re: Big Willie....... LA
While we're on the topic of legendary street racers and their rides, how about "Brookyln Heavy" and his Motion Camaro? Anyone got some vintage pics?

Re: Big Willie....... LA
Big Willie is a living legend among street racers. That is him in the opening minutes of Two-Lane Blacktop flagging the cars off with hand-held lights. One of his Daytonas is still around in rough, unrestored condition and is still displayed with one of the original street racing brotherhood jackets. Quite a thrill to see in person. I'll try to find photos.
