I thought I'd toss this one in.

It is a former IHRA B-modified drag car. It was taken off the street and turned into a race car in 1971, and was campaigned through the late 70s. The front end is all fiberglass except for the front bumper. It only has about 30K miles on it, and is still wearing the 1971 paint. It was initially campaigned with a Ram II, 4-spd, and Dana rear. The engine was later upgraded with Ram IV heads.

The rear end was upgraded to a 9" Ford unit utilizing ladder bars with coil-overs. The engine is now a 502 Chevy, and it runs a TH400 trans with a trans-brake.
