-------Regrettably,my old car is on the block.Drag racing is a real time consuming hobby to do right and I just dont seem to be able to find the time to do the car justice.Im hoping to find the right "type A" personality who will continue on with Ol Red,but if it goes to a museum I guess thats OK too.With the exception of a set of valve springs(which I have)Red is ready to run.She will run 10.30s anywhere and a 10.15 on the right day,and do it all with a greater degree of reliability than any other 50 cars out there.Absolutely the only reason it isnt in the nines is the NHRA rules it would have to go thru to be there.Id have to cut the car up more than I care to do.As it sits the car could be restored to original fairly easily.The orig.trans and rear are in the car today(modified)and the original block(decked)goes with the car.There are a few pieces missing but nothing critical.
-------Yes,its sitting at NIAB and I feel Tony has done a good job of promoting it,but it may take off for the Russo-Steele Auction in Scottsdale if something doesnt happen pretty soon............Bill S
