Back in the day there was a car like this in the Poughkeepsie, NY area...it was the same combo, white with/black vinyl top...L78, column auto..it had the Tarantula manifold, bigger carb,big valve covers, fly-eye style air cleaner, Mallory ignition, Grant wheel, Cragars, Headers w/Chrome side pipes, Sun gauges, etc...don't remember the brand of tires or what suspension stuff there was...needless to say it was a neat car. I think it was professionally done...might even have been a Motion car...keep in mind this was 38 years ago, so the details are a little fuzzy. He did run it a Dover Drag Strip in Modified class..one a few trophies.

His father burnt his leg on the side pipes one day and that was the end of the car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
