Hello!
Well I've had this old RR for about a year and a half and got bored with it once I got it running. It's an old West Texas drag car and I got it in October 2007 and worked on it to get it running again. Once I got it back to where it was when she raced in her glory days, I got bored with it and it's been parked since September of last year. I took it out to the Good Guys show at Texas motor speedway last year and it was a blast. But then I got started on another project and this got ignored.
I think I'm about ready to put lights on it and take it out on the streets of Dallas. It should be pretty easy to spot. I'm not changing the paint at all! This is just how it looked when it raced from the early 70's until the early 90's.
Maybe you've seen it before!
Oh yeah...it's a 440 car now, factory 4 speed, and it's got a Dana with 538's in it.

Welcome! That is just to cool.

I'll give you a shiny new quarter for it!:HappyNewYear:
 
Glad you like it. It was just a shell when I got it.
No rearend, no motor or trans. steering was gone, no interior, no hood, a lexan windshield that was cloudy and warped. The guy was going to sawsall the roof off to fix another "more valuable" car but I talked him into selling me the hull. Glad he did. It sure is diffrent than most you will see.
 
Am I to take it you've turned down my generous offer of a shiny new quarter for it?:edgy:

Yeah for now anyway....I have considered selling it though. My other project is a 56 corvette. And I thought Mopar parts were high! Geez!
