My dad has had this car since he was 23 years old. Its been through a lot as you can see. I don’t know all the motor specs what soever - Ill let the pics speak for themselves. I didn’t take the pics, Im going to try and take some in the spring with my camera. I wish I had pics with the hood off - everything is full polish inside/out. Ive always been import \> domestic but this is the fastest/most powerful car Ive ever been in. Its made an 8.7x pass and is capable of a faster time but my old man refuses to beat on it. ![http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0844.jpg?t=1259854847](http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0844.jpg?t=1259854847) \* ![http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0845.jpg?t=1259854997](http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0845.jpg?t=1259854997) \* ![http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0847.jpg?t=1259855027](http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0847.jpg?t=1259855027) \* ![http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0849.jpg?t=1259855045](http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0849.jpg?t=1259855045) \* ![http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0853.jpg?t=1259855062](http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0853.jpg?t=1259855062) \* ![http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0855.jpg?t=1259855083](http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/RMSALAMONE/100_0855.jpg?t=1259855083) More pics to come in the spring… ---

Original Lenco trans was the street/strip (rated to 1200hp/900ftlbs) and that was destroyed. The new magnesium race unit is strong as fuck - virtually unbreakable. ---
