Acme Pure Hell 1:18 LTD 1968 Pure Hell Fuel Altered Dragster A1800808

There have never been “bad boys” like the short-wheelbase 1300 horsepower Fuel Altereds that used to compete in NHRA, AHRA, and 1320 meets during the mid-late 60’s. One of the true standouts of this class was Rich Guasco’s “Pure Hell” driven by Dale “The Snail” Emery. Starting with a blown small-block Chevy in 1964, Guasco soon figured out that he needed Chrysler Hemi power if he was going to run with the big dogs. Engine swap complete, “Pure Hell” was at the top of a handful of Fuel Altered that would often post times that were in the league with the AA/Fuel Dragsters. Most impressive were the drivers that had to be crazy to pilot these out-of-control rockets
