Worked on that thing on and of for 20 years when it was Empty Pockets even made a lap in it. That car and many others taught me alot about racing and hooked me on it. That’s the third paint job Ive seen it with and still love it. I just hope it lives forever!!!!!

Originally the car was gonna be called the ASSphalt Gigolo… I think it was a good choice to drop the extra ‘S’.

FC= Funny Car, Antonio! Or, perhaps it should be written F/C.

Anyway, I have an extra copy of a vintage drag racing book I edited sitting around that I should send you…

If speed and danger are the closest things to sex while still remaining relatively dry, then what name could be more appropriate than Asphalt Gigolo? @Antonio – I think Hechtspeed was abbreviating Funny Car (FC) – BADASSS spread of pics, bro!

LOL “Asphalt Gigolo” That somehow seems like the PERFECT name for this car!

Hi Hechtspeed! I enjoyed reading your comments on Speedhunters! So glad you follow this new site too. =) …but you said FC? Is there an RX-7 hiding somewhere in one of these photos that I didn’t notice?

That FC is sick! Cool simple, clean look. I love Nostalgia Funny Cars! More More!
