Looks great, I always remember as a kid seeing that car at Raceway Park here and there running. Always one of my favorites! It would be neat to see it run Stock again one day.

Is that a 421 with the bathtub intake? How fast does it run? When will you be at the next race track? Atco or English town? I went to Pontiac day a few years ago at Atco , I was parked next to nunzi he he had his black 63 Tempest with the four-cylinder running in the 11s that day it was awesome!!
