Lol,....I agree. Things looked cool back then, not so much now.

The drive train and suspension are still on the drag race side, but the interior and exterior look a lot more original and street driven then before.

Very nice !

My personal preference for wheels would be the Cragars.

Thank you. I am a big Cragar SS fan myself, but the ones I had on this car had the wrong rear offset, and were 14 inch. I had already purchased them for my 73 Camaro but never had a chance to put them on.

The Superlites were the hot item then, so I went with them and bought 15s with the right offset,....plus when Cragar bought out Weld, the center caps went from black to blue and matched my paint....lol.

Maybe someday I might go back to the SS's, but I'd rather find an old set and have them chromed,... the newer ones have a little different look and the centers seem to not even get any chrome on them.

At the station in my town where I can get 110 Sunoco racing fuel right from the pump.

A little glimpse at the Dana 60, the Competition Engineering ladder bars, the Flowmaster 2.5 inch two chambered mufflers, and the wheelie bar brkts. hanging down.

Back in 80s I decided to bring the car to Scuncio Chevrolet to show Bob his old drag car. I had never met him, but knew he was still at the dealership. He used to be the high performance manager of the place, and obviously a salesman. It was a place I had bought part from, and a place I even test drove an 80 Z28 when I was 18, it happened to be Maryann Scuncio's car that she was driving, the daughter of the owner.

Anyway, I went in, a 20 something year old kid, asked for him, and told him I had something outside to show him. Lets just say he was quite surprised, and loved that I had put the car back on the street. This was the first of two meetings I had with him.
