well it had not been started in a year so it needs some TLC. But it did fire and run for a few minutes on its own when i piched it up. Sounds awesome. 3" with a x and 1 chambers dumped at the rear

How the f*** did you get that for $4k? I got mine at a major steal for $1500 and it needed a lot of work just to get it to run decent enough to get out of the garage and into the driveway and back, not even a v8 in it.

Yes, I'm jealous.

Here's mine:




And right now it's more stripped down than this:

I got mine for $450....but it had no motor, or trans, and the wiriing was a lil jacked up since it was a drag car that I ended up with. Got peeling craggars and 40 y.o. tires and a jacked up flat hood (had Z wheels/new tires/cowl hood when I shook hands on it for $800). 5 or 6 different colors too....

Anyhows....guess times are getting bad that the toys are getting let go for cheap....
