After driving Hubert Platt’s 1964 Ford Falcon match racer one foggy Saturday evening at Lions Associated Drag Strip (Platt had been injured in a pit accident), header impresario Doug Thorley built his “Chevy II Much” match racer. Originally intended to run as a small-block B/Gas car, Thorley was able to obtain one of the first 396 big-block engines west of the Mississippi, and together with mechanic Gary Slusser built one of the country’s first “independent” GM match-race stockers. As Doug would later comment, “That car would flat leap off the starting line and lay patches of rubber in every gear.” Photo by “Diamond” Jim Kelly and courtesy of Match Race Madness.
