This was My "Killer6", so coined by a fellow gearhead, some 30+ yrs. ago.

Apologies, but the images aren't rotating left for some reason.
 
is it still on the road?
No, l saved that car from the boneyard for $250, off of some jazz sax playin' dude. I drove it year 'round, sandbags in the trunk, snows, SG 3.55's & 4.10's, Blizzard of '93 & all. SW PA salt/brine killed it off. I tore Her down in '98, ten years after puttin' Her on the road, there was a lot of pinch-weld cancer....when l got it, there was evidence She got "high-tided" at the beach.,.lol!

These were Knights Inn, '91, l believe Rob Wolfe was the gentleman that came up to the car after.
 
I raced Slants for about 20 years.Still have 2 engines for builds.Maybe build another car in the future, If I don't die in the mean time...I ain't getting any younger but still can dream.
 
I do have a picture around here somewhere, always liked the stripe!
I'd like to see that! The paint was Ditzler PPG Bright "Refrigerator" White, and the "Rally w/Pentastar/Swinger stripe blend was an Olds 1yr. only color('70) Radiant Green. I actually laid that out on paper to include a breakout at the front of the Swinger section & run up the sides to a point at the frt bumper. Hours before My Friend & l started to lay the pinstriping tape l decided it was too much.
 
I started racing Slants in 1974. 65 Valiant 4 dr sdn, 170/904/7.25 as a Y/SA stock eliminator. The following year ran a new class, Z/SA. Have pictures, as the car morfed from a model 200 4 dr, to a model 200 2 dr, to a model 100 2 dr. Also still have the car and the "stocker" motor.
 
The Omni hotel by the airport in Indy?

Nats were at Columbus, & I actually brought 2 cars in '90, the other My '83 ex-cop car Dippy..midnight blue 383 4spd N2O...

Looks like it. I was definitely there that night. I live on the west side of indy, and actually hung out at the Omni hotel bar! Its by the old airport, and I worked for American Trans Air back then.
