That Bad, Bad Black blown Polara at Indy show - 09/24/12 06:39 PM

One of the coolest cars i have ever seen in my life. Think it had like a 4.56 dial on it. Anybody know anything about it?
Guy hit the go pedal on that beast and it rattled my head around a little standing by the starting line, unreal healthy sounding, and sinister as heck looking.

Hey, you too Vern...

Yes i did see that. Just curious what it weighs and if the guy has run it in the 1/4 and what the combination was. Quite the piece, pretty boxy car to run like it does.

Hey Jody.
It's painted( except engine bay), striped, and put new bumpers on it
Got it drive able with brake work and few odds and ends with a default 318 in it.
Gonna have Matt( Viperdust on here) color sand it and pretty it up a bit here in the next week hopefully when I drive it out to him
Past that, I have some decisions to make, do interior and just drive it, or cage in and build a Gen 3 hemi for it.... I am just about to come to that fork in the road... Lol

Don, if you don't mind send me some pics. I have never seen it and all I know about it is what you just posted. If I know you, you'll take the high horsepower route. Thanks Jody jbmopars@att.net
