John, that was the first time I've ran the car with the new engine. Installed it a week ago and the first run down the track was 13.43 at almost 106 spinning all through first and starting to get a little sideways before I let off. I didn't want to t-bone the 72 455HO GTO in the next lane. Not to mention I really had no idea what to expect the car to do. I'll be racing at POCI if you or Paul happen to make it down to KY

Dennis,

Here's the car I mentioned at Martin



I don't remember much about the car other than I should have grabbed that Tempest fender emblem. I have a buddy who will be at the yard this car is at tomorrow (tuesday), so I may be getting it anyway, lol. I'll send you a PM

Hey John,

Do you or your brother have any info on the Magnum 400 Tempests beyond what has been published in the magazines, like when they were ordered and available for sale? Did they special order any customer cars, or did they order all 50 cars with the same options, but in different colors, etc.?

Thanks, Dennis
