My dad ordered this car for my mom to drive. She drove it for four years and I got it when she was done.

Just finished my 44th year racing this car. It's had several big blocks ranging from 454 to 624. Presently 572, approx 1000 HP naturally aspirated.

Running pretty consistent high nine's now, will be putting full cage in the car this winter.

'74??? My buddy had one and what a tough, great car! I love the classic look of the rally's & side pipes. These plastic cars these days just don't have the same class as that old iron. One of the best cars I've ever owned was a '76 Monte with a sb 400.

I have a bar.

Right now it's a five point roll bar, so I'm legal to 10 flat.

The car is suddenly consistently wanting to go in the 9.90s, which is cramping my style. I'll need the addition of the halo bars, a pillars, side bars and window net
to complete the full cage, plus all the personal protection (next level jacket, pants, shoes, gloves and neck brace) plus NHRA competition license.

I have all the clothes because they gave me a "one race waiver" on the car if I wore all the stuff, but no mercy after that.

It's a big jump that I have been putting off for a few years, but now there's no denying it.

'87.


Ordered it new and followed it down the line when it was built. Drove it off the end of the line myself.
