thanks for sharing been a long time since I had a 9 sec run.It's been a work in progress with my 64 Belvedere to get to the point of posting in the 9 second thread. Purchased the 64 out of Flint, Texas, trailered it home up to Canada, right up through Tornado alley in April, 2014. A trip that started out by heading over to Indiana to pick up a new trailer, that I had built for me. From there, headed over to Texas with great optimism that the Plymouth was going to be everything that it was said to be. If I was to do it over again, I sure wouldn't be cutting through south Chicago again though...
Upon arriving at the Plymouth, it became apparent that the car was oversold. That said, and everything taken into account (travel, condition, etc) well here we are.
A full rebuild took place on the Plymouth in my garage over the following years and in 2017 the Plymouth finally made it to the track. The Plymouth started out running in the high 11's in 2017 and from there it's been a work in progress heading in the right direction.

Yah,how fast was it #4k???I have to laugh as I’ll never have anything that light.... 4070# last time out. Hoping to be well under 4000 this year.
9.51@143 and that was with 3.73 gears on a 275 radial.Yah,how fast was it #4k???
Agreed. I’m still steel everything including the hood. I’ve gone to an aluminum block but added a bunch of other things. Can’t wait to weigh it.There's a lot of weight removal available at 4070lbs + in a race car. Even street car should be able to lose an easy 300.
