The “Moon Transporter” also became well known for hauling Dean’s and
others cars to all types of events
The “Mooneyes” was changed to a top mounted blower in 1962 and with Gary Cagle
driving went 153.06@9.52 to take Middle Eliminator at the Winternationals
Dean Moon was the consummate “Hot Rodder” He built and raced cars from the Dry Lake’s to the Drag Strip and at the same time built a company that became an icon in the world of Hot Rodding.Starting the business from meager beginnings he grew it into a world wide name and made the “Mooneyes” logo a part of the history in the sport. Many of the products are still used today and several are very sought after by the people restoring and recreating the cars from yesterday. Though Dean left us on Jun 4,1987 he left behind a legacy that will live on as long as there are Hot Rodders. Not only did he entertain and educate us but he also motivated and challenged us to go faster and succeed.
Built from a Dragmaster Chassis Kit and powered by a Potvin Blown Chevy
the car brought Dean fame and Attention
