I sold it to a guy down under.He bought it to street race with!!!
I bought an old Dakota that had Cal-trac's on it.I used them of the truck.But I think it is a stock b-body sping.

Never got a clean pass on radials.It went 6.60s on 28s.The guy that bought it has been like 10.30s in the 1/4.He must have a bigger set then me.No way in hell would I run it out the back door.That was with no cage and just a lap belt!!!!!!!

He paid all the shipping and had a guy come to my house to get it.I only live 3hrs from most ports.I think he said it was $1,800 for the container.They charge for the container not what is in it.Think he bought 2 cars, 57 Chevy rear clip and tons of other parts.

Did the wagon have the cross mounted torsion bars?.....my new sleeper has them and wondered how it handled....I have taked to one person with a stocker mirada with the same front suspension and said is smooth at about 114mph in the 1/4......

Though I want my 5th traveling that in the 1/8th

Yes it had the f---- up front end.I think it handled better than my A-bodys LOL.It went 110 in the 1/8 with no problems.It drove great with the front end down too.

Just curious, where did you get the cowl hood? Looks good on that car.

Thanks for the insight....and btw that was one killer looking ride, hate to hear you got rid of it....also hope your old pal "bullet" is doing well also...

Also just wondering if you did anything to the frontend....Looks like mine could use a little tlc in the bushing department!

It was a pretty low miles car.I put a new idler arm on it.They wear out fast.Put a manual box on it FOR SURE!!!Bob is doing good.I think he has both cars back together.

I bought a amd cowl scoop and split the stock hood and welded it in, I no its not light but looks killer and was easy.That would be an easy way to have a mold.I have a 1980 aspen wagon I painted viper silver with black window trim I built because I loved Buster brown so much bought from your buddy Tony Cole I will get some pictures up soon.
