Good video. Jim and pam were the shit when i was a kid. Jim died when i was 17 it was my second year racing. Seeing pam made the video made the video. The owner of the car should have done the work before hand. The car ran like shit misfires and fouled plugs from storage oil and pam almost called it out but she was her kind self. The car is a trailer queen and a fraction of what it was back in the day but none the less a piece of history. I do hope on day you film the pandemonium campaigned by bill sullivan. We built that car here ken chase owned it for many years and now in a private collection. So is our ramcharger funny car. Its in a show room in south dakota side by side with another funny car.

I was a kid growing up in that garage after school being in the garge with the car lit and Nitro choking you out while all the girlie calendars blowing off the walls. Great environment for a small boy. 😂. Memories for sure. Yes, Im a nitro Junkie still. 😊

Jungle's last big sponsor pitch(or what would have been) was Aim Toothpaste. The Kenny Youngblood rendering was of the Jungle Caveman on the door with a big toothy smile, that would be holding a toothbrush and a tube of Aim toothpaste(instead of a club), with the Aim Toothpaste logo on the side. I bought one of those Kenny Youngblood prints and it hangs on my wall in a frame.

I remember seeing Jungle Jim race at Capital Raceway in Gambrills, Md. Pam was there as well, what a beauty she was lining Jim up for his run. Those were some of the best times of my life. Of course that’s when all the big names would come to Capital Raceway. But because of over development Rt. 301 could not handle the traffic that these races would bring. 😢So sad.

A old friend of mine his oldest brother used to be a independent truck driver and at times he got to haul Jungle Jim's race car trailer when his rig broke down . My friends brother would at times park his rig with Jims trailer hooked to it at my friend's parents house because they had enough room for him to park it before he was off to go deliver the car back to Jim back in the day . He also had a signed piston from his engine i remember seeing that my friend showed me many years ago . Nice to see this but I do remember in the early days Jim was more of a Chevrolet guy so seeing this Chrysler Hemi in this car looks kind of strange from what I remember years ago.

It’s a shame that’s happening to a lot of drag strips across the nation it’s a shame We can’t get all the street racing that happens on the dragstrip and keep those strips open instead of jeopardizing peoples lives on the road. That’s the way of the world things just aren’t the way they used to be. That’s why I’m still stuck in the 70s lol thanks for your comments please subscribe and happy holiday 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I love all the funny cars of the 70s I was really young back then I was born in 1961 so I feel like I missed out on alot of the time period that I wish I would have been part of I would have loved to been a young teenager in the mid 50s but I'm grateful for being around in the 60s and 70s how times changed. Some of the youngsters just don't know how good they got it with the parts they have online now we had to do what we could with factory heads but some of that knowledge is still very helpful today.

Hello Richard agreed I’m born close to that year, I had my dad taking me to drag race when I was six years old he drugged me along through in the 60s and 1972 we going to Gatornationals we would go in for three days. We did it every year plus any other drag races around the state of Florida we were at the beach constantly so I was lucky to have gone through all those races through the years. looking back now I was so lucky to have seen everything. I’ve seen them here trying to bring it to y’all to stir up those good memories so thank you so much for being on my channel please subscribe tell your friends sure appreciate you 👍✌️

that is one badass ride dou thx for the great vid love this stuff 😁🤩😎

Hello Scooter agreed yes sir you’re very welcome. Thank you so much for being on my KZread channel please subscribe thanks 👍✌️

Dynamic duos like Penn and Teller, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, Michael Jordon and Scottie Pippen, Shaq and Kobe, and many others like them weren't immediately accepted by everyone either. It took years of hard work and dedication to their crafts before some fans came around to appreciate everything they did for their respective professions. I look back at vintage drag racing events and footage and can't imagine the sport without all the little parts and pieces that made it special. Jim and Pam were showmen-women. They realized the same thing Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Sr. did as their careers evolved.

Hello, agreed in the world of drag racing They were on top of the game even though they weren’t running too many NHRA meets per what Pam told me yeah the duos of racing have always been a big thing the snake & the mongoose as you said, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, I’m from Daytona Beach. I’ve been going to the races since the late 60s at Daytona seen the wing cars I was a huge fan. I had a chance to get to know Dale Earnhardt because he would come to the dealership for demos when he was at speed weeks @ Live Daytona and got a chance to rub buzz with him and have some Chevrolet dinners with him and got chance to go to his dealership, Newton North Carolina and hung out with him a bit fond memories of NASCAR but the sport changed tremendously and I’m not a fan anymore unfortunately but I hold onto those memories So yes, seen this car and her was just amazing. I’m glad I could bring it to y’all. Thank you so much for being on my KZread channel. Please subscribe and tell your friends.👍👌

Those cars were sooo beautiful and had personality as well as sexy back then 😄

she is one cool lady... was really waiting for her to "leak" check the car.. :)

That was the sickest sounding engine😢
