The 12.20 pass in the 1/4 mile was with the old M-22 trans I built the car with originally. 60’ times killed it, but 117 MPH consistently. Through the traps. That’s 11’s boys. I  have not had a chance to track it with the current M-23 which should drop the 60’ down and get the 1/4 into mid 11’s without the juice. I have all the track slips. 



This car was built to be a street friendly, track ready driver, with the outside patina of an old Skylark. It is all of that!
This car runs and drives perfectly, and is 100% dependable and ready for a new caretaker.
