Reply to "#6214 Damn Near"

The car originally had a 289 ford I believe. The only thing left original on the car is the body. It has a full chassis underneath with a ladder bar rear suspension. It has been tubbed and I think has a 9" ford rear. The motor is a 425hp LT1 mated up to a Tremec 6 speed. One thing that increases the coolness factor exponentially is that it has Pantera parts on it. Anyone recognize those seats? The first, and only time he ran it on the strip produced high tens and pulled the front tires off the ground. With a little more experience driving it I think he could have got low tens-high nines. It doesnt help that the firewall was cut back six inches to fit the new motor. You basically drive with your knees against your chest. Kind of like some of you driving our cars but worse. It is a very cool car though and turns heads wherever it goes.
