It's the typical little ol' lady next door story. Apparently, the car was built between 65 and 71'. They used to race it around here at Camarillo airport and lions drag strip. Then they closed those down, and the guy popped out a baby. To make a long story short, family came first and racing came last. The guy passes away leaving his wife and son behind along with 30 years of storage. The guy I buy it from sees it and picks it up. It turns out to be a little too radical for him, so I step in and take it off his hands. Cool story huh? The beauty is I'm going to leave everything original, so it'll be a good piece of drag racing history. The 30 year old slicks are brand new!! I'm going to get pics soon. Hopefully before this thread is closed.
BTW Chris, I can't drive it yet without the engine put together. If you want to come over we can push it to ventura raceway!!
