Default Re: Interesting story/history behind your racecar?

Ran a 67 Camaro in Modified Production years ago---bought it from my next door neightbor 82 years old--typical little old lady car 6 cylinder 3 speed on the column NO extras--- no radio nothing ---it had 7000 milles on it in 1973 she wanted to get a 4 door NOVA with automatic so she could take her girl friends around--dealer did not want it so I paid her $400 for it--- and as they say the rest is history---ran it as a E or F/MP car--had the first Nash 5 speed with Long Shifter and First 6:50 Ford gear too got it from Zoom---this car would hook on a ice rink--- sold it in 1981 built a Monza hatchback gasser---got all the sheet metal from GM for free ----287 cu in/3600 pounds would run 10:20 at 132 mph all day long---held the record for awhile----sure wish I had it be a fun car to play with---last I heard the car was in Alabama but that was 10-15 years ago
