Nice car, Mike!

Should have added. Title says "Drag Car". It is not intended for street use although with some work it could be made legal again.

[Whataguy313]

What would it take to make it a weekend cruiser?

It doesn't eat anything sitting here and is a great show piece. I won't give it away. Someone will come along and realize that it would cost twice what I am asking to build this. There's alot of customization in the car. It is not a hacked up ugly race car. If it sells ok, if not, ok too. I'll keep racing.

[00T/AWS6]

that's true, i wish i had the money to buy it off your hands but that's way out of my budget plus i think that's a little much for me haha. I hope it doesn't sell and you can keep racing it, hate to see that new build go to waste

Thanks

[SchwarzesWS6]

awesome car man. i can't believe you're selling it. I used to watch the 9.51 pass you did back in 2000 over and over just to listen to the car. Used to watch the wheel stand vid all the time too. good luck with the sale.

[mikey]

Bump for today

[93LS1RX7]

I will say one thing about this car, it could just as easily be a show car. The entire car is amazing. It looks stock from the outside and even the interior but it moves like no other!

If I was shopping for a race car this would be the one for sure! GL with the sale Mike.

[UGOTWS6D]

Good luck with the sale Mikey....def is a sweet car that's not hacked up....someone is gonna get a nice ride!

[Fireball]

I thought you sold this a while back...guess I was wrong

Bringing it Saturday to Cecil?
