Very special Wednesday morning post today courtosey of Angie and Tony Figga. When I saw these I just had to ask if we could post them because I knew you guys would love them. Fortunately Angie was willing to let us use her photos so a very special thank you to her.
These pictures feature Tony’s Colt. How cool is this thing?

I should add that these picture feature the one and only time my dad ever grenaded a motor, lol, which is quite a feat in the drag racing world. in the third picture you can see a small puddle of oil under the car.
