Default Re: Jim Kirby's 1968 Funny Car found!!!!!

How do you like that slogan??? Jim Kirby told us that he put that on the car after Dick and him parted ways, if you can remember around 69 or 70 Dick changed his motor to a 426 Hemi instead of a GM block. As for Kirby, he said that he was a die-hard GM man and would never turn his back on the bowtie even if it didn't make as much horsepower as other engines, but he could never put anything other than a Chevy block in a Chevy race car. Hats off to Jim Kirby!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
