devilbrad Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Or drag racers? What have you got? Currently 3 trucks, an 06 Ram, a 96 Dakota I use for drag racing (when it stays together, LOL), and a 67 Dodge D100 shortbed I just picked up to do as a custom.

devilbrad Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Those early A-bodies are good looking cars! Nice and light too!! There are still a ton of them around and they are "cheap" compared to their big brother B and E body siblings. Go get one!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilbrad Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I dont think you can buy a 70-74 Barracuda/Cuda for under 50 grand right now, even with a slant 6. Barret Jackson auction ruined the whole industry. Everyone and their mother with a pre 74 car thinks they are sitting on a gold mine.

HadEnough Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Ford Falcon with a 289 bored out to 302, balanced, blueprinted. Mopar scoop & various parts. Formula 400 trans rebuilt with shift kit.I got a 10.2 second quarter mile once. 0-60 must've been 3-4 seconds.(Hey, don't laugh! I had less than $4000. in it, total! And there wasn't much that could touch me, back in '83. Nothing from the factory, anyway. 427 Corvettes would do okay but only after about 1 mile.)Then, I put an interior in it and muffler with a California cut off kit. (That's a lever that disconnects the mufflers. You should see the expression on folks' faces in the cars next to me when I opened that!)I sold it after a cyclist crashed racing me. (He survived with only a broken leg, but I felt responsible.) Honda V65 Magnas we're a crap bike, IMO. Too short a wheel base. You couldn't power shift 'em at all without it standing straight up. From what I could see.I survived & now I drive like a Grandma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divemedic Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Drag racing is cool, as long as you keep it at the track, and off the street. I have scraped enough kids off the road already.Ever since the stupid movies came out, every high school kid buys himself a Honda, puts $500 worth of stupid junk on it, and thinks he is a racer.

Amerikaner83 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Ever since the stupid movies came out, every high school kid buys himself a Honda, puts $500 worth of stupid junk on it, and thinks he is a racer.I'm a big fan of the fart cans and the "powered by Honda" stickers...that's about a hundred horepower increase!I saw a "powered by ACURA" sticker on a 86 legend....funniest thing ever! Bunch of teens rollin downtown with that car...couldn't stop laughing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
