I assume we have all seen this on Bangshift? I think that's pretty cool.

I love this body style, regardless of what it is called. Very fond of the '70 as well.

Very nice car, runs good sounds good and it looks like they are having a great time together.

Cool, but should be a 12-second ride with those parts with a real driver, IF the damaged original engine was replaced with a real CJ. We know how that can be.

Yep, shifts like my grandma. Gotta give her credit though, maybe she's just being easy on the parts. Bang, zoom, to da moon Alice.

Or MAYBE that car has a PROGRESSION DISTRIBUTOR and there's a Grandma tune and a Grandpa tune!! You know, like you could do when somebody else drives your car and you want it to survive the inevitable hooning about. Oh, butt wait, that's new tech and we don't do that here. My bad.  :'(

Those people are real close friends of ours, and it was a real SCJ  drag pack car. The car went back to dealer because the line bore was off. The parts were all in the trunk. Back when she was a lot harder on the equiptment, it would run middle 12,s.....Tom

Cool story and Byron is my home track. All my vehicles have run down that 1/4 mile. Can't wait until I can put some respectable ETs down on this Merc!

She raced in one of Car Crafts Real Street events back in the 90s.
