'69 SCJ Candy Apple Red Mach 1 Drag Pac
bought the car out of a junkyard with my dad in '00, tore it down over my freshman, sophmore year of Hs, and reassembled with my dad just in time for my Senior prom (had it hot wired..hehe)
Then drove it to Texas A&M at the end of the summer from San Diego with a 347 stroker and a 4 speed
Did some autoXing, and Open track events and then drove it home in 07
After piecing together an original 428 from swap meet parts I installed that motor and a T-56 to drive it back to school again for my 4th year in college. Pretty much stick to Drag Racing and car shows with the big Fe weight up front, but WOW gotta love the 489 ft.lbs of Tq!!!!
Here are the pics...
