Thunderbirds of that era were boxy POS'. Fairmonts of that era make great hot rods!

I figured from your previous posts

So I'm partial.................

hahaah what did that car run @ Pinks?

9's on a 50 shot the last race they put in the biggest pills they could find LOL!!


And if It werent For Trunk (and some heroic efforts of some of the MotownMuscle members) the car would have never been made Matt allowed the club the use of the dealership for painting/storage and wrenching.

I can't remember the source. I want to say it was an Autoweek or something along those lines. I'll try and find it again. It was a couple years ago.

Well, regardless of the source, I question that anyway. If trucks are a class of vehicle, then passenger cars are another and theres no way modded trucks outumber modded cars because theres more cars to begin with.

Well, SD has a checkered past (and were not talking flags) and is a (self admitted) dick a lot of the time, but the safe money is on him. I applaud a manual trans driver and the CJ is cool for what it represents and the intention behind it, but fuck it, Team SD for the win.

Looked to me as you Motown guys brought a knife to a gun fight..... having to get spotted races 4-6.

Why didnt it run heads up the first 3 like the last...... that was the only good run IMHO

kudos for the build.....

That's a good question. I didn't make the trip to KC, so I don't know. I do know there was a leak spitting water on the rear tires. They got that fixed and figured out the timing kept advancing. They locked the dis. out. That was part of the reason it wasn't running right. Once that was done, so was the Mustang.

Should have seen me in high school and college.

....and is a (self admitted) dick a lot of the time...

Well....you know.....I am THE Asshole of this board.

Once this thing is done I still might not have half as much in this car as Matt has in the CJ..........but damn the dollar signs are adding up quick.

Wow I just found this thread lol

im sick of both of you guys yappin can we just run at Joliet lol ?

Clearly it will be a close race, Matt has run 10.7's and Sd has run 10.8's

Like Matt stated he hasn't got much seat time in the beast so it will only get faster without changing much. Sd has some new bad ass set up coming out so we would assume lower ets.

Me on the other hand will be trying to fakin break 11.9's!!!!!!!!!!

 

[US-1]

Won't be finished by Joliet. I'll be doing good to have it finished and tested by Columbus.

Really? Lets start out with the price of your car and work from there. I bet you are alot closer than you think and it's not going to be worth half of what I have if you try and sell it

$24K plus roughly $4000 right now. And why would I sell a perfectly good Cobra Jet Killer????? As long as it trailers your ass it's worth a million bucks to me.

Did you buy it to race or to sell? When its all said and done, its just a used race car. Youre dreaming if you think youll gain profit, let alone NOT lose cash.

ZING! Priceless.

You've only spent 4k?

Maybe if you had all your stuff given to you.

I hope you can trailer me, because I've got nothing to lose. You have EVERYTHING to lose.

I have no intention of selling it. I was just making a point. These cars are going for over what I got it for right now, but she is mine for a lifetime.

You did notice the sponsors on the doors and fenders.......right?

Dumbass
