I've been guilty of the same thing; mis-matched front and back wheels.

There's got to be a trailer park joke somewhere in these pictures.

For roughly $20K, a person could have had all those cars in the ad. Just think what they would be worth today!

Time slips from Lions Drag Strip (Oct 31, 1971) and Orange County. Both tracks are long gone.

102 mph and 100mph. Seems traction limited.

I never pulled the slips out before. More cool stuff found...

There are much better runs in here. 10 runs in all on 10/31/1971 (Halloween)

All it had 3.91's and headers and the Nobu's dyno tune with original carbs' air door weights are lightened up. Headers and 3.91's gears in original drop out were only a short time deal.

13.37 @ 105.63

13.45@ 106.13

Lions drag strip was at sea level, only 5 miles from port of LA.
