Well for some a ugly duck.
But is the pro's and con's.
Pro's:
It will hook on ice
Full frame car.
Has bolt in possibilities of a number of different engines
Has a number of aftermarket suspension parts
Has the capability of being driven to the track
Has a track record as a winner in the mid ET brackets
Would be fun to drive.Back to the basics doing a number of rounds
Con's:
It is a heavy car
Needs to have suspension mods completed
Needs to have driveline mods covered because of the cars wt.
Has the aero of next to nothing
Trans brake on a three speed auto is almost a given
Needs to have the interior stripped to next to nothing for wt reduction
Really could benefit from a BBC$$$$$,but a big inch SBC could get it done
These are of course just some pro's and con's.I screwed up and let one slip through my fingers already done as a roller yrs ago at the Indy Drag Racer's Auction.Sold for only $2,700 and the parts where worth that.A really dumb move on my part.
So what is it??. Here ya go:

These things with the right combo will run low 13's to high 12's and run the dialed in number run after run.Yeah,just some fun racing.
