Notes: This iteration of the Green Monster was built to showcase a WWII-era Packard-built Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12, which appears quite similar in pictures to their typical go-to mill, the 1710-cube Allison. The factory-rated 1,300-hp Merlin engine (1,700 claimed in race trim) is widely considered to be the factor that cemented the P-51 Mustang's reputation as the best all-around fighter of WWII. Also used in the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito, and numerous other warplanes. The Arfons' most successful piston-engined car, Green Monster #11 was raced frequently from 1957/59. The Merlin-powered "Monster" twice set the mph record at Union Grove on July 6/1958, with speeds of 146.58 and 150.00 flat. - RT | Set Top Speed at 161.87 at NHRA Nationals at Oklahoma City on 8/30/58.

Notes: The Arfons brothers built several aircraft-engined dragsters that were not in their numbered Green Monster series. This was one of them. It was one of the cars the brothers took to the Mar-Car Drag News 1000 Championship held at Oklahoma City JayCee Drag Strip at the Fairgrounds on August 28/30. They also brought Green Monster #12. Research could not find if the Gray Ghost was driven at the event, but it was definitely there. If one of the Arfons brothers drove it, it would have been Art because Walt had suffered broken bones in his feet when his flywheel exploded at a race in early August in Dunkirk, New York.

Notes: Arfons apparently debuted the new "Cyclops" on the backstretch of the Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Fla., as previewed in the 1/06/62 Daytona Beach Herald-Journal. Arfons said Cyclops was the 17th in the line of Green Monsters. Cyclops was intended primarily as a Bonneville land speed record car and not a dragster. It was featured in the June 1962 Motor Trend. - RT

Notes: In a 1990 interview, Art Arfons was quoted as saying Green Monster #3 was to be powered by a surplus Jacobs 5-cylinder radial aircraft engine. There are at least 10 models of 7-cylinder Jacobs engines from this period, but none with 5 cylinders, so this exact quote is likely incorrect. Displacement on the 7-cylinder mills ran from 755/915 cubic inches. According to Art this Green Monster was intended as a vehicle for older brother Dale, but when he lost interest it was never completed. - RT

Notes: Mid-mounted Ranger V-770 engine was oriented upside-down (valve covers up) rather than inverted as it was in WWII-era training planes. A rear-wheel-drive car, GM #5, is usually seen with a prominent "Buck Rogers" dorsal fin (11/56 Hot Rod). As with many Arfons cars, it was modified over its life. It has been restored with an Allison V-1710 for contemporary Cacklefests. - RT; Photo: George Klass Collection - MB
