It was a really nice driver that got hit in the nose this summer so now he is pulling it apart and making it nicer. Since the core support and radiator were ruined in the accident he is taking the opportunity to upgrade to a 26 inch setup. He is also going to upgrade to front disc brakes.....

Made 700 hp with a Sniper XFlow on a ported intake. Should be fun. Car is a four speed with a Dana 60 so we'll see how long the transmission lasts.

Brake lines will be replaced with reproductions but not moved. It isn't a race car, just a street car with a bunch of power.

He does have a Comp street roller cam. 260/266 at 050. The springs are dual conical with T&D rocker arms.

It actually set the B/MP mph record in 1970. It still carries its original B-5 paint and it has been relettered to look like it did back in the day. It has the A-12 hood because it ran a cross ram and 2 holleys in its B/MP form. A.J Cassini and Bob George at BGR built the pump gas 484" Hemi. We have not really had a chance to wring it out yet but it has gone a low 10 at 128 mph. Probably a lot of people saw the car this year at Carlisle and the Nats.
