500” Iron High Riser 742 hp/ 674+ tq

Beautiful looking race car. Two thumbs up.

Thanks. I've been very cautious not to cut on the car anywhere. I have all the original parts.

The only modification done was to trim and strengthen up the front leaf spring mount and put good brakes on it.

I'm thinking it might get into the high 13's, which is good because it doesn't have a cage or seatbelts...

The fiberglass is all original, even the hood. It was supposedly raced as a high riser back in its early career. No frame off, it's a time capsule, even has the old thin cardboard sun visors.

Why would you think it would be only in the 13's with 700+ horsepower?

Agreed, but I think he is joking!  If set up properly, that combination should run high 10's at a little over 120 mph, assuming a weight of 4000 lbs with driver.

My experience with that type of situation is 2 warnings before they tell you to leave.  That was no cage in the 11s.  That galaxie goes deep into the tens driving to save parts.
