TOMMY IVO'S TWIN ENGINED BUICK DIGGERS - PICS AND HISTORY

Folks,

 

Great history and pics of Tommy Ivo's twin engined Buick dragster from the '60's.

 

Also a couple of rare pics of this car with Tony Nancy's blown gas Buick in just one side of the digger.

 

AND a pic I've never seen before of the inline twin engine Buick digger Ivo had Fuller build for him before he made the move to the 4 Buick engined "WagonMaster".  I don't think many people inline twin Buick dragster ever existed.

Great bunch of pics Will, thanks for this,, very interesting.

Quite a feat to build those two engines,, hook them together and set them up, to run together.
Noticed the short wheelbase mentioned, and that combined with the weight of TWO engines, took some engineering, and i bet experimentation.

Those Buick nailheads, ,, great engines.
