Nice 'Coon Dr. Dirt! Check out my best friends ole '63 1/2!! It too had a warmed over 302, had a C4 in it w/a shift kit, and a ratchet shifter.. Was a really cool car! Made a huge transition from the stock, white-ish, on Progessive Five Stars - to the all out studly setup, on Air-Ride, w/17" Billet Specialties on there!!

I don't really know. The car didn't have a title. The guy I bought if from was letting his wife do a burnout in the drivewy. She let up too much and the car hooked and went through the bedroom wall. The front end was pretty mangled so I got it cheap, repaired it and ran brackets with it for a while. It was a killer bracket car. It always ran within a couple hundreths. I just didn't like having a track only car so I sold it to a friend. He has it really cranking now.

No, not that one. It's still track only and the guy races mainly in nostalgia events, but there are about 3 other yellow ones I've seen driving around town. There's one yellow Futura that I want to car jack every time I see it. Looks really sweet...at least from a distance.
