    Picked this up today and wondering if anyone from the Milwaukee area remembers it or has any pics?Drag raced at Union Grove and painted black with Grim Reaper painted on the rear side windows.BB Mopar powered.Does have a ancient trans blanket and some barely legible NHRA stickers and would have been raced with the old centerline auto drags.

    look at the swinging watch, your eyes are growing heavy, you are feeling sleepy. You are falling into a deep sleep and will only react to the sound of my voice....repeat after me, 'I will sell this bad-*** car to mobile chicane....."

    Seriously - cant you see this with radir's on the front etc etc.

    Has some 5 spoke Americans on the back and i kinda like the look.I may get rid of the centerlines in favor of 5 spokes up front.By the style of tach and shifter it looks to have been a 70s build.

    Replaced the seized engine with a 440.Runs well.Had to replace all the fuel lines as the gas sitting in them turned to a solid sorta like a jelly bean.Cleaned the tank also.Going through the wiring now.Should be able to make a test run before that white stuff starts falling.
