If any of you are out at the Gator Nationals this year, look me up. We were called back in November about bringing our 1971 AA/FC out to the Gators to put on display. While it may not be a mopar body, 71 Mustang, it is pure mopar HEMI that powers it.

Everything on the car is original as last raced in 1975 except the body and headers. She wrecked the car at that race and destroyed the body. Donnie Reeves made the body, Al Bergler did the tin work and Dave Hirata did the paint work. Still trying to find someone to do the gold leaf lettering on the sides. This car was restored back to original right down to the flaws in the body. I did not want a show car restoration, I was after an "Authentic" restoration. Kenny Hirata was heavily involved with the car back then and Dave and I used his memory and pictures for all the paint work.

Here is a picture of the car and the original owner driver, Nitro Nellie. She was inducted into the East Coast Drag Racing Hall of Fame this past October. She will be at the Gators as well.
