Mark, i dont think i have any pics of your car. i remember the car being at my dads but i dont remember seeing any pictures of it. back in the day everyone had their cars at my dads for some thing or another. it was like a cruise night every day then...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

this car has very little suspension travel....on the super 8 films, when this car dumped the clutch, it bogged real bad....too much tire....not enough motor!!!!

Re: race car pics from the early 70's

Those are some of the best pictures I've seen. They really take you back in time.

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
