Why sell? Those are getting harder to find in good condition. Don't care for the paint color, otherwise it looks ****.

I know someone who use to have one. Had navy blue racing stripes instead of black. Was a chic at that.

honestly, right now im young, i would prefer to go fast, my goal with this car was to do a wheel stand and be able to beat stock ford mustang cobras

its not ever going to do the wheel stand i want, and i dont know if i could beat a ford cobra, but i have invested more money than i would have liked to into this car

it was the first car i ever built, i did three engine swaps on it by myself and really learned a lot about building cars, i made stupid mistakes and learned the proper way, i overlooked things like suspension and the transmission while only caring about more power

granted the car is amazing, i just have made my peace with it, and would prefer to drive a car that weighs 3000lbs and has the chance to be a real killer

Na she was far from hot. She was redkneckish as hell. Still had a badass car.

Just click above where it says Homemadeturbo and you get the forum list. Or on the left menu click forum.

When I was still in highschool there was this cherry red with dark burgundy racing stripes and a black drop top that was always parked outside of this grocery store on the way to school. It was perfectly restored. Perfect.

My Uncle Kelly used to have one, ---- would get soo sideways so quick. He was a cool guy till he drank himself to death. But that's neither here nor there, I'll give you my kidney if you let me buy that car when it's yours.
