Back around 10-12 years ago, there was this middle aged guy on the west side of town, Glendale or Goodyear, don't remember. He bought a black/leather brand new, had the wheels chromed, added some bolt-on stuff including a Vortech B trim, and drove it for a few years.

Then he decided he wanted to go drag racing, and went totally nuts. Stripped it to a bare shell, carbed big block Ford with Glide, 9 inch with spool, Wilwood race brakes, Bogart wheels, gutted interior, etc etc. It was a 9.50 car, all motor.

I bought most of the stock parts from him, the seats and interior he didn't use, the EFI stuff, the T5, engine bay wiring harness (which is in my Ranchero) steering wheel, and so forth. Last I heard, several years ago he got out of shape at 1000 ft, hit the wall, deflected to the other lane, and balled the car up real good. The funny car cage saved him, but the car was scrap after that. So, another one was sacrificed to the 1320.

At least these drag car shells coming up lately are still intact!

Agreed! That 5500 could have been used to purchase a gt and cut It all up for the drag strip instead of ruining what was a red/blk car.

I still have the 200K mile car, I plan to make it a consistant 10 second car to race in Pro. 351w bored ans stroked to a 427, C4 trans. Had plenty of time to think about it lately, not much else....

I called on this one in Albuquerque today and the guy has a deposit on it already. I seem to always be a day late on these things anymore.

One of each color for each type of job. Teal - street car, Black - future drag car, Red R - Autocross/open track car (as it was intended).
