Talk to many drag racing enthusiasts, and they'll tell you that Ohio George's Malco Mustang was the car that ended the gasser era. But are they right? In this video, we explore the story of how the car came to be, its impact, and the evolution of the gassers in the 1960s.

We delve into the fascinating cars of Ohio George Montgomery, who was a dominant force in the gasser category. From a Willys with a blown Cadillac engine to the most advanced drag racing engines of the 1960s, he had a hand in all of them.

How did the Mustang come into existence? Did it truly end the gasser class? We'll present the facts and let you decide! #dragracing #history #automobile #dragracinghistory

  • Video would have been better if a real person had narrated it.
  • Damn i hate computer generated narrating..Do people not know how to narrate anymore?
  • Please stop using AI narration. It is horrible and most annoying!!!!!!
  • @res7s
    The AI shit ruins this video. Quit using it.
  • George Montgomery Made A Valuable Contribution To Drag Racing & Deserves A Better Tribute Than This Virtually Painful Narration. Thank You. (Like #748)
  • You know it's a bot when they quote a year in thousands. 😂🤣 Blocked.
  • George Montgomery's AA/GS 1969 Mustang was the car that killed the gasser class. In 1968 or 69, I was living in the St. Louis area as a 19 year old drag racing fan. My home track was the old Alton Dragway, and one weekend Alton featured a show with 10 AA/Gas Supercharged cars, which I loved. I attended the race and of all of the traditional gasser cars, such as the Anglia and Willys, was Montgomery's late model mustang. Because of the Mustang's better aerodynamics, he slaughtered all of the old traditional gassers. You could watch the same Mustang on nitro running in the 6s instead on Montgomery's car on gasoline running in the 9s. I knew, as a 19 year old, that day was the day the music died for the gasser class.
  • Gasses Forever, I had a 41 Willys coupe with an injected 425 ci, 1966 Buick Wildcat engine and a Muncie m22, narrowed 57 Ford wagon rearend and a Super Bell straight axle on the stock Willys springs and steering, spindles etc. The engine was set back 9 or 10 inches, the car had all the original body trim, headlights, etc. and original paint, it would do bumper dragging wheel stands, and was titled and licensed for the street, this was in California around 1980, what memories
  • Pink put the 427 Ford tunnel port over the top of any Hemi. . Built a gear drive to replace the timing chain. He built the last one for Australia before he passed away. ED Piink : The legend of fuel drag cars..
  • Ohio George was gasser version of Bob Glidden! If no one made what he needed he made him self😊
  • Gassers were killed by Funny Cars. The original FCs were door slammers, ie, Gassers moved forward. When Ford built the first one piece flip top cars we knew it was over. The Modified Production class also died
  • @mikco99
    Did they have to use an AI narrator? I had to turn it off.
  • Foot note: before the Willys George’s supercharged Cadillac powered 34 ford is in the Garlits’ museum, yes the mustang started the death spiral of the gassers, A/FX classes didn’t help either. 1974 Gainesville last race for the stand, only one car in its own class, and that was it. Now if you want to relive that era watch the southeast gassers assn, they run the organization by the 1967 NHRA rule book, great racing.
  • A friend had an Opel GT that he put a 327 Chevy in back in the mid-70s. Fabbed his own sub-frame, narrowed Dana 44 rear.
  • I know an awful lot of guys from that era who ran gassers, but switched to funny cars. Thats what killed the gassers
