I just traded my 65 for fairlane 4 door daily driver for this "roller" drag car project that was never completed with its last stage . My plans street/strip driver 2 back seats for the kids - blast off . The car has a lot of good stuff 9" rear all mosier 35 spline internals w/spool , minni tubbed , springs moved inboard , cage , tilt front fiberglass front end , disk front conversion , fuel cell , fenton (classic) front wheels , and drag shocks all around . The car is in need of a lot of TLC in and out ,but winter is coming and spring the car will be revived - options are endless .

I love being able to get trades that other people don't finish , I am known to not care about the looks of the vehicle as long as it is reliable and road (or strip ) ready - so this car may look this way 2 years from now , but fun street/ strip car . Looking for the same times out of this 3000 lb wagon as our old 79 capri that had a 383 stroker chevy == 11.20's in the 1/4 mile and still be family fun for the street . you could say looking forward to the winter project ... - Thank you for the input
