there is a similar picture of Joel lifting the wheels in the MP Cobra and some say its fake.

I think they are both real pictures.

I have seen people do it on the street back in the day and don't find it hard to believe that Joel did it in these photos.

the street, car, wheelie, and photo are all real. the Nash Rambler wagon heading west with Howie riding shutgun is a fake.

Photo is real, Marty confirmed it when he posted an unedited version on this site.

Why hasn't that car been found?

Shamefully, it was probably hacked up &amp; butchered into a 9.90 Index Super Gas car in the early-'80's. I've always considered that photo legit because it's happening on a busy street with traffic coming up behind it! There's no time to get out there with a hydraulic jack and jack stands to &quot;stage&quot; a wheelie photo. Now on a different note, the famous Motion Cobra wheelie photo takes place in a parking lot where it's easy to get a pair of jack stands underneath and get the camera angled just right.

It fooled me as well! I don't know who took this photo or when it was taken. I discovered it in an old scrapbook that Judith Rosen had loaned me and I scanned the print.
I did shoot the &quot;wheels-up&quot; photo of the Camaro racecar being tested on Sunrise Highway.

Who was at the helm Marty?

Easy to tell the Cobra photo was staged by the wrinkle in the slicks. No torque-wrinkle, it's an at-rest wrinkle. (How's that for a grassy-knoll/Zapruder film type of analysis?)
