Man thats out there!
Not that i could ever afford to build like that or buy it, buuut since im dreaming.....

Id Loose the wing, slam the blower into the valley of the engine with a custom manifold, crank trigger the plugs with indvidual coils (no dist in the way) and then sell that HUGE  carburetor cover and carburetors!  Then lets get a 3 hole bug catcher and run fuel injection!

Hmm i might be onto something here........

yah i would dump that blower down a bit  so that u can make a right turn with out hitting some one and drive it as a daily driver  but have a feeling i would spend that 18k 2x more in tickets from the nice police men that like to pull cars like that over

You arent kidding about the wing. I saw that when it hit Ebay & I was drooling. Thats kind of my plan for my parts car now that Callisto will keep her 4 banger. I will probably stick a tunnel ram on it temporarily since I have the carbs & linkage already but a 6-71 popping out of the hood is a must have & it's on my bucket list. 8)

Hehehehe, yah i guess i do but its not out in the boonies. Plenty of cops round here. Lapd, CHP, County Sherriff. DAM! Especially at night.
I mean its great to feel safe but if/when i let the pinto "Loose", Its got to be quick and over with.  When i was young i used to drive like a maniac! (surprised the pinto survived!!), but with a career job, and 2 "baby" girls at home , i have to be a bit smarter nowadays.

Actually I used the wrong quote button, I really meant this for APINTONUT who lives in the middle of nowhere. But if you have a place to have fun, more "Power" to ya. Oh, LA, my condolances.
