I’ve always been a big Drag Racing fan & I use to have a Pro-Street ’69 Camaro. Now that I’m building my 1st Mustang I’m torn between going Restomod & Pro-Street Drag car with the build. I actually want to do something in-between. I would like to take it to the drag strip for the most part & also like to give it good street manors. That’s the down side to most Pro-Street cars as some of you may know; they tend to have very poor street manors. Is it possible to build a car w/ the best of both worlds?

Anyway with that being said I’m always searching the intraweb for ideas & I just found something on ebay that I wanted to share w/ you guys. Hopefully some of you can share my appreciation for the reason I bought my 71-73 Mustang. I think this body style looks so good w/ the right wheels, tires & stance.

Nice car, not my style though. IMO it needs a hoodscoop to cover the air cleaner sticking out of the hood, it looks funky as it is.
I also wonder why if the car has a new wiring harness don't the gaugges work? I know they say in the auction that they weren't hooked up but that makes no sense. If you have the dash out to put the new harness in why wouldn't you just go ahead and hook up the gauges?

I agree w/ the hood comment. I totally missed the part about the gauges not working....I'm with you on that also.

I guess growing up around drag racing I just always seem to want to go that route..... I've always loved Drag racing & the look of the Drag Cars.

I really want a good driver but, I still want it to be bad enough that I could take it to the drag strip, “get a spare set of slicks for the track” & lay down some respectable ET’s
