i was looking at a tube chassis car, see other post, & last night i get a call from another racer wanting to sell me this car. This car is finished & has been running 7.5's so i only have to swap in my motor, build a set of headers & we have a runner. I'm still going to check out the first car as its cheaper but whats on offer with this car looks like its a no brainer to buy. what do you think?

Tig welds throughout, so I'm guessing C/M. Can't see how the suspension components are mounted to the chassis. There are no diagonals in the floor the way SFI specs them out, but still, at discretion of inspector. Has this car been certified before? Looks like a nice piece. Much better than the other one you were looking at.

Honestly, I wouldn't tackle the first car if I got it for free. This car looks MUCH better. It's complete, running, I assume sorted out and will save you much time, grief and money. The $64,000 question is does it have a current 25.4 or better tag on it? Or will the owner get it tagged or guarantee it to pass? If the answer to those questions is no, I would pass on this one as well. No tag = worthless unless you just want to run outlaw tracks.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

That is Dalton Bohnets old Cuda. Raced it for many years in Northern California. It is a good car and if this price is right be a bit of a no brainer for me.

I know who owned it before That was not a question but a statement. The previous owner WAS Dalton Bohnet, ran the care with a B1 for years in NorCal. Grill is a vinyl copy of a photo as are the door handles..
