Default Detroit race car

This car was purchased new by 2 friends in Detroit, Yes Detroit not the burbs. Here is a picture of the car after leaving Tony's (Scuncio). Tony got the car mechanically sound but it still needed a trunk floor and had a crushed quarter panel. The car was stored in and outside for 30 years.The original owner is still around and I do talk to him. He raced the car at the Detriot Dragway. I did replace the floor and fix the quarter panel, I also added a straight axle and tear drop hood.

Tony can you add the interior picture? I don't have any on my computer. The interior has new been changed, the blue carpet was out of the original owners house. When they replaced his sons carpet the old carpet went into the F85.

Correction, I did not change the interior, it is just as the original owner left it.
