So where's this car today? Looks like a real peach! :cool:

[AlleyoopMgv]

It looks a little different now. I'll try to find some more recent picture's of it. my dad detuned it and put it back on the street in 2003 or so I think. A guy in texas owns it now.

Nice car. What times it run?

[AlleyoopMgv]

High 9's in the 1/4

[burntorange70]

YEEEEHAAA! Very nice time.

[AlleyoopMgv]

It was an R/T v code car, but he had a T/A fiberglass hood and rear spoiler on it. 440 sixpack 727, Dana rearend, mini spool, it was cool! i drove it a couple of times and it was kick ass!

found another picture of my dads car in action.

Can't help it........ I'm an old school Super-Stock fanatic! Great pic. :D

[burntorange70]

Nice burnout pic! That is one cool car.

[AlleyoopMgv]

Thanks it was pretty cool.

[AlleyoopMgv]

Here is a more updated picture of when he used to race it. it was in the early 1990's

[AlleyoopMgv]

and some pictures of when he put it on the street. a little bit earlier then i thought 2001 or so. he thought it would probably still do a 10 in the 1/4. and then eventually he took off the race lettering. I will try to find some photo's of that.

I love Super Stock. There were some crazy fast cars. Still are I guess, I have a friend who races in a Super Stock class at No Problems Raceway that is very much like the rules of the old days except for safety upgrades.

I dont know? it could have i guess? It would be cool if i could find that!

Thanks all you guys for the great compliments. My dad passed away in 2006 from pancreatic cancer. It was a rough year. I would like to paint my Duster with the same paint job as his Challenger some day as a tribute to him, but you know how it goes, the body/paint guy never can get around to painting his own car. Maybe some day.

Awesome car. Sorry about your dad. I lost mine in 2006 to cancer as well. If you haven't lost a parent, it is difficult to understand dealing with it.

I remember seeing your Dad race that car at the Northstar Nationals in Brainerd. I then again saw it in street trim, probably at the Car Craft Nats in Minneapolis. Nice car.

Yeah he put it back on the street. He let me drive it a few times to some car show's. It was awesome! Still a fast 10 second street car.

Thanks rumble! If i could ever get my own crap done I probably would. I still got the purple paint from the stripes.
