I believe the person you're thinking of was my buddy Joe Moreau. He street
raced a nocturne blue factory four speed 64 GP with a hidden nitrous system
in the early 90's, Quite often in the valley. He called his car "the Beast"
because of those chicken scratch marks on every edge of his car (a result of
previous owner, an artist that cleaned his paintstripper covered brushes on
the car) His car ran eight lugs with 15" rims, the hidden nitrous system you mentioned, hurst 4 speed shifter and a beach towel covered parchment interior. Total sleeper. He knew his cars, alright...He knew how to beat fords because he raced one too (an '89, I believe, also a sleeper) Used his winnings to build more cars. (63 Bonnie, 3 64 GP's, 69 GP)
Unfortunately, Joe passed away in January of '94 (days after the Northridge quake) and is still missed by his friends and their cars..
