[70TWO NOVA]

I remember watching PHR TV, Dang, i wish that show was still on the air. Thanks for the clip.

[olds87]

Thanks for sharing the video. I love the car.

[dylanCamaro582]

THat was the clip that got me in to pro-touring. Man, I spend so many hours looking for info on Thrasher. i still love that car, it looks so clean and so badass.

[Aschle]

I remember watching that episode ! The buildup of that car in the magazine is still one of my favorites.

cool! thanks for the vid scott.

[Stielow]

That brings back some old memories. That was shot at Thunderhill. It was a good time.

Thanks for posting it.

What year was that ? This is a sign I have known you for too long...

[rwhite692]

What ever happened to Cameron Evans? Never see / hear about him anymore.

[clill]

Cameron works for Redline oil now....

[rwhite692]

Thanks Charley. I met him and his late father once, a looong time ago. Great people.

[clill]

My long lost friend is back.

[Flash68]

Now that is cool. You are so predictable Charley. :D

[Mikael A]

Dammmn have not seen that one in forever. I remember reading articles about her back when I had no kids and single.

[camcojb]

Love that car. Sounds awesome, and great brakes... :drive:

[clill]

I forgot how much fun this car was to drive. Leaf springs, GM subframe with Stielow spindles, handles great.

Couldn't get vid to open.

Is there another link for it?

Me either...

[GregWeld]

It needs to become Thrasher REDEUX..... Hide all that plumbing and wiring.... otherwise leave it alone and just drive it.

Funny about the "leaf springs" -- Old Yeller is on leaf springs - old skool SBF.... and I'd bet it would whip most all the modern builds around here... Wouldn't want to drive it on the street though! LOL

Plumbing and wiring are fine. Kind of a historical time stamp. I think I sold it 9 years ago and there probably hasn't been 100 miles added to it. I found my old registration from 2000 in the trunk.

Yeah, it was hosted on Lateral-G.org. Scott used that for testing mostly, not sure it exists anymore.

:thankyou:

[DBasher]

What am I missing here? It appears to be another red, late 60's Camaro with BMW wheels, is there a back story? :peepwall:


I really have no clue, I imagine its an early Stielow build?
It's a cool looking car and would be interesting to see how much has changed in the hobby/aftermarket since it was built.

Charlie, I've got to ask. Are you the kind of guy that if I were to say "I'm looking for a "insert famous or rare car", you'd tell me you know where one is, the condition and what it could be bought for?

:flag2::cheers:

[clill]

Yes it is a the car Stielow built before he built the Mule. He ran it in the One Lap of America race with then Pop Hotrodding editor Cameron Evans riding shotgun. I think it's entire build was in Super Chevy ?

[DBasher]

Looks like I've got some reading to do....I had no clue Stielow built a Mule. :sieg:

[Jr]

Didn't mark use c4 brakes on this car? He may have built a special spindle for this car...

[WSSix]

Looks like I've got some reading to do....I had no clue Stielow built a Mule. :sieg:

lol, the building of Mule was covered in PHR in its entirety. 16 or 18 months of to build I want to say. It's a great car. I think Mark even made a book of its build. Honestly, it's a very sedate looking car but it's a beast.

That's cool that you've got Thrasher back in your hands, Charlie. Do you have any plans other than driving and enjoying it?

[Che70velle]

I'm obviously late to the party, as I've never heard of this car.
Charlie, have you owned every Camaro that Mark ever built, except the current patina car?

[clill]

LOL....He got the patina car from me...I bought the Red Witch 67 Camaro off of Ebay. Called Mark to let him know I got it from the guy he sold it to. It was all downhill from there.

Is it true Mark was bidding on the patina car on Ebay and got outbid, Unbeknownst to him it was you?

Careful, Charley might sell you on a Ford concept EX 4x4....lol

[clill]

:-):D You know you need it.

[DBasher]

:-):D You know you need it.

I need that about as bad as you do.

I bet it'd be fun lowered with some sticky tires on it though...I triple dog dare ya!

[Ns RS]

:-):D You know you need it.

Just cross sell it to Weld with

"You know what would be cool....? (pensive thoughtful pause answered with) An all terrain, "one of a kind", long distance 4x4 shooting platform.....

(2nd pensive pause followed with) "If a 4x4 sniper platform doesn't say FU cancer in capital letters man I don't know what will....." (final pause).......

Once you sell, I'll take a case of 805 as commission. :bigun2:

I've seen this thing in person - Charley and I played with it when I was there in May. It has so many one of a kind fabricated parts -- and is done with cost is no object fashion.... These pics don't do it justice. The way the steering column slides and locks out of the way.... the A arms - massive one piece billet units - It's a crazy build. And it SOUNDS killer!

The Ultimate Mall Crawler.

[jeff71]

This is the car that made me understand theirs a way to have a modern driver in a classic body.

More pics please!

I seen it the first time you owned it at Hot August Nights in the early 2000's I believe.

[DBasher]

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

[clill]

Car is still in Az and I'm in Ca. so I got nuthin. I might have old pics but probably on a floppy. Somewhere here there are pics.
