Yeah, Steve LIsk's car was one of the greatest Pro Street cars of all time. That car is almost 50 years old and it would still draw a crowd today at any show it pulled into. Lisk hit a grand slam with that car and there have been very few cars built since that look as tough as that one.

None the less you cant take anything away from that car as it sits, it rocks for sure and a mans dream came true while spending a lot of money and the workmanship looks great. I wonder how hard it runs?
I think we have all seen the vids of the black older mopar built semi like this running the streets.... insane.
It would be great seeing that car the op posted running the streets like this one, im sure it could if a bit higher, but will it happen? Lets hope. Pro Mod/Advanced pro street? on the street.
Dude has never made a pass on the dragstrip with this car that I'm aware of. It just might be the ultimate poser mobile.
Which year Dart is that? I'm not really across the early US Valiant stuff

I don't see a 7.50 or quicker cage? I doubt it has ever been run down a track, ( this car is local hear) so Lord only knows how it will react. Crack the throttle on a car like this and you instantly will have a ton of wheel speed, which is a lot of energy that has to be disapated. To me that is a disaster in the making.
Having been on Drag Week many times now, I'm very jaded as to what a "street car" is, and can be. That Daytona is a cool car, but more Pro Fairground than anything. It wouldn't make it to the first checkpoint on Drag Week.
you'd probably think something like this is more of a Pro Street car, eh? Runs sevens....
This is exactly what I think of when I think Pro-street

I love PS cars...especially Mopars....In my book, if its tubbed and has a roll bar or cage and big tires, its a PS car. I do find the new generation tubbed small tire cars a bit perplexing, but to each there own.
Mine went from gasser in the 60s to Pro Street now.
