I've seen a Killer Customs 69 pro touring car, they build nice stuff, but if you have seen Pinks the best car doesn't always win. If you have a plan and a good negotiator anyone can win. The body style makes no diff. what so ever.

I'm just looking at the $$ on the table. A built 69 will be worth $25K plus whereas the 79 Malibu will be less. I'm guessing that they will build a nice turbo setup since they are big into that.

I agree with you guys on the 69 vs 79 thing but I've seen several mismatch pairs on Pinks. I was just at Brian Macy's shop he talked to the producer this morning, and their not sure who will race who yet. There will be four cars from this area, he wants em to run 10.50 all motor, power adders can be used. He said they want to get away from 10-15 car length races.

First time posting, long time lurker here.
Stopped by Shawns place here in Everett last weekend and Bill, the guy that builds engines there said his car was going to be in Pinks.
He has a 67? Camaro that he races in Monroe and I guess wins regularly there.

I know he just worked the engine over so who knows.
All I can say is he better be practicing on a true strip 'cause his 1/8 mile tricks will be out the door. I bet 1/4 mile going to feel like a Looooooong ride.
