Default Pabst Blue Ribbon 69 Torino Cobra 428SCJ

Have known about this car most all my life and a couple of years back got the chance to see & photograph it. Ryan Brutt was in the area and he & I visited the owner. He has owned it since 1972. The original owner only ever street drove the car on its' 30 day paper tag and then it was strictly a drag car from then on. If you make it out in the pic where you see the odometer is has 981 mile on it currently.

Bill Thomas owned a Jade Green version of this same car and he claimed he'd mop up the track when he went up against it. Wish I knew what happened to the 8mm movies he had of Nu-Be Dragstrip. I had them in my possession at one time but I was afraid to run them through my projector and gave them back to him. He has since passed away and his car got sold.

If i had this car i would detail and clean from head to toe. Wash, buff and tuneup. Leave it original as found.
