Hey guys I am just putting out a feeler for the car, I am considering selling it complete turn key and building something else. THe car is obviously SUPER well known , doesnt matter what track I am at or what city I am in people seem to know the car.

The car was just featured in a cartech book called "Sleepers, The art of the deceptivley fast automobile"

The car has so far ran the following on 275 drag radials:

Best 60 Foot: 1.340
Best 1/8 Et: 5.50
Best 1/8 MPH: 131
Best 1/4 Et: 8.55
Best 1/4 MPH: 162.5

I am certain with some more tuning and runs on a good track it can run some 8.4x's or faster.


On 21 psi it makes over 1100+ rwhp and 935+ Rwtq, or it can be turned down on 10 psi it makes 790rwhp. Can be driven anywhere just a little loud and no tunes.

I just got the car appraised for north of 54k and I can provide all of that info to anyone seriously intrested, The car has all REAL and all GOOD parts in it no junk, Full cro-mo 10 point cage certified to 8.50 etc etc.

Anyone looking for more info or details please pm me.

This was our final weekend racing I ran some new bests and overall ran a bunch of passes faster then my previous bests 8.53,8.51,8.50,8.47,8.53 I could not have had as good of a year as I did nor could I have had the car run as good as it did all season with NO issues if it wasnt for a few people:

Leanne
My family
James,Jordan
The whole HPS crew
Flyin Ryan Bell
Randy @ Pro Stock
Rob@modular turbo


These are my bests from the weekend:

1/4 et - 8.47
1/4 mph - 163.5
1/8 et - 5.43
1/8 mph 131.5

Here is a video of an 8.50 pass it power wheelied for quite a ways and set the tires down with a little puff of smoke LOL

Love the car man, I have two 78 Zeph's also. My best is a 1.21 60' 5.60 @ 125. You've got me wanting to put an ls in mine with twins! Good luck with the car and keep us posted.
