Hi Mike,
I though maybe Satan's 'downsizing' so needs to get rid of some of his collection?!?

Alan

Im going to look through my ISCA books and see if an exhibitor from Canada really campaigned a car while misspelling its name.

Looks like the car is in Pa. I would buy that for that price so fast it would make my wife's head spin! She wouldn't hardly have time to stab me in the face or anything! That is very cool. Think what that cost to build!

I do wonder why it is so cheap,
It must be a real mess in person, some savvy builder will restore it and a few years from now it will be listed at some stupid high asking price.

The th425 terriblenado in the rear is bad, they do not handle worth a flip, but I really would not care, slap a 350 in there and have a ball...


I bet that price is a typo and they want 15K not 1500.00, I doubt that place would mess with it for 1500

HONEST, I'm trying not to think about that!!!!

I think it's Donna Lee McNeil, but not positive.

Also correction: this was from the 1984 Show program. The car campaigned in 82-83.
