When you look in the dictionary for the word "overkill",that's the photo you will see. :1st:

[LowBuckX]

I didnt know they made underdrive pullys for superchargers that big.

What the hell does it do when he punches the throttle......flip upside down?

[parsonsj]

I wanna know how the driver sees where he is going? Is there some sort of angled mirror on the roof or something?

[nancejd]

Twin turbos and a supercharger, hmmm, that's jsut about right. How else are you going to go to the store for milk?

[yody]

hmm, i bet that would be fun to tune

Funny you say that, somewhere around 81, or 82, there was a blue 62 Nova in Car Craft, same set up, but much much more taste ful, almost looked stealth, except for the blower stickin, up, does anyone remember that car called Overkill ? Im gunna search right now and see if I can post a pic.

[zuess4u]

I found it in a google search, but the pics wernt that good, its worth reading about though, dude was ahead of the trend curve for sure.

[myclone]

When the induction system is as high or higher than the roof line your car is automatically cool no matter what.

I remember seeing that Nova that you guys are talking about in one of the mags. Seems the text said something about the owner running into something on the pass side front cause they couldnt see the obstruction due to the blower.

Both cars are not what Id call daily drivers or my style but either one would still be loads of fun to drive occassionaly for the ooh ahh factor or ending up at a stop light idling next to a winged body kitted import.

[Jims78elky]

His name is Rick Dobbertin,huge hot rodder in the late 70's yeah
iam a old man.:guilty: The 65 nova was featured in over 85 magazines
and 14 covers!


1965 Nova:

Here is his website..Still hard working at it!

Dobertin also built that Pontiac J2000 with the full tilting body, and blowers on top of blowers. He then went on to build an amphibious vehicle from a milk tanker trailer, something I know a thing or two about, and DROVE around the world!

Frank,
Are you that old? or did you just read about it in some archives? :lol:
I remember when the J2000 was in Hot Rod or Car Craft and I thought then " what is the world coming to". I know he had mega time and coins in that car but it was still butt ugly to me. It was just not the body I would have picked to do a full blown Pro-Streeter out of. Of course, if you were going to build a P-Streeter out of a new car in (what was that?) 1980, you did not have many options. I was 22, just married and broke at the time so maybe I was just jealous! Then when he did the milk tanker, I knew he thought outside the box.
OK enough history lesson for you young whippersnappers! Someone get me my cane.

:lmao: :lmao:

[vanzuuk1]

i know i am going to be laughed at but i went to his site and i thing that monza is kind of cool.
i met rick at a car show in ny when i was a kid and he was real nice to me showed my mother and i all the details on the nova.
i didnt like the prostreet thing too much then but there was a blue malibu i really thought was cool . i think their names were matt and tammy grimes, i would love to see pics of this car . does any one remember that car?

[vanzuuk1]

also the orange holden above shows that ever since mad max the aussies are a little obssesed with superchargers.

[Steve Chryssos]

Yeah. I remember that car. It had Benz KMC wheels narrowed and widened to pro street specs. Paint was a medium blue metalflake. It was cool.

Nothing wrong with Pro Street. It just has to be viewed within it's context. The Venom Nova on the cover of the current PHR and the Malibu on the back cover of the same issue (Nitto ad) show that Pro Street is going in the right direction. TwinSting's vette really proves the point that Pro Street is cool again--if built right.

As for the car that started this thread, please inform the owner that I have a periscope for sale on ebay.

Steve,
I snickered at that comment, then I have a brain storm. With modern technology, we put back up cameras on everything. Maybe the same concept would work on this car. Just mount a camera on the passenger side aimed forward and place the screen so it would imitate sight. My buddy that had the 63 split window P-Street car surely could have benefitted from such a contraption.

[zbugger]

.....Just mount a camaro on the passenger side aimed forward......
Ummmmm..... A what? Wouldn't that be a little big? :hmm:

[vanzuuk1]

steve if you meant the mike desmond malibu that thing is really really nice.
also your car is tough looking . if you are at a ny show or event let me know i would like to see some of the pt cars in person.i went to the show on city island last year i guess ill go again.

[Steve Chryssos]

No I meant this one. (I can't believe I found it) Saw it at E-Town one year. If Goodguy's is still at Rhinebeck, I'll be doing that this year.

[Milow68]

So I wonder how many gpm (gallons per mile that is) he gets with that ride in Aussie? :lmao:

[69boo307]

It seems to me like a setup like that would actually inhibit building boost effectively. I bet twin turbos alone would make more power.

[vanzuuk1]

steve i meant the malibu in the nitto ad , i think that car is awesome.

also the blue malibu is the car i was talking about , i cant believe you had a photo.

let me know about rhinebeck , just post it somewhere on this site. also any autocross you might attend , thanks.

Oops, Yeah the Nitto ad car. Desmond's Malibu is my idea of a modern Pro Street car.

Any Auto-X up in Westchester?

[vanzuuk1]

desmonds car is sweet , his website has a lot of great stuff.

there are usually a lot of autocrosses up here but i dont know the schedule, i could find out.

my car still rides on stock suspension but i am working on a plan and budget.

i will let you know when i see the schedule.

[Gonzostyle]
