could I do anything with that?



Thanks,

That Zephyr with the 200 inch 6 would be a fun $.10 car to play with in V with a c4 or 4 speed. Dave "Too Tall" Turner had a 200 Maverick that worked real well. I think that it would have really flown with some trans and converter work.

Hitman,

Did you come over to the IHRA Pro-AM at London a couple weeks ago? There were some nice stockers and Superstockers there you could have looked at.

Chris,
no I did not,

I was obligated to drive someone else's car at another track.

i have all intentions of being at the Pro-Am race at Mp Drag way though.

and really looking forward to talking to people, I hope to meet some from this site there....

Billy,
I was thinking the same thing, gears, and some torque convertor work it would be fun, and could also double as me another car to enter in foot brake races...

I don't want a world championship, I just want to go rounds.

Thanks for the help guys..
we are still looking but seriously thinking about looking at the Zephyr

Another class is Stock GT with the Mercury. Stock GT is for 1980 cars and small trucks(?) and up with 55 thru 79 motors. Go with a 68 Merc small block with holley carb, 289? 302? Can't remember, might even be 67, which would be 289. Now that would be sweet. Paint it like Bob Gliddens Pro Stock Fairmont from weight break area, just my opinion.
