Oldsmobile Dream Race Car
I think often about the car I would want to build if I were to someday think seriously about getting back into drag racing.
It would be powered by a Pro/Mod type Super Charged 525ci Merlin BBC because RealOldsPower wouldn't be able to make enough power to be competitive.
I would basically buy a used P/M 1958 Corvette and have the front and rear of the body redone so it would look like the 1954 Oldsmobile Concept Car.

Just a FYI there pushing 1500hp with SBO nascar blocks........How much HP you want?
Bill Trovato's Starfire is running 7.90s and i think is street legal........If your building a dream car it should be Olds powered IMO......I almost have my dream car but I have been working on it since 1987...........

Bill's car street legal, please. I doubt it would ever could pass an emission test muchless other things.
To even make a Pro/Mod field, I would need atleast 2500HP.

The topics title was "Dream Oldsmobile Race Car" that I would want to build.
I meant to say I would just buy a used 1956 Pro/Mod Corvette and have the front redone so it would look like the Ed Earl's 1954 Oldsmobile Concept Car.
I don't think it would take much to make the changes. Here's a Pro/Mod 1956 Corvette that I would love to buy and make the changes to and then paint it gold.
