About

My car was once used to drag race in and around the Neepawa, Manitoba, Canada area. I bought it in 1998 without a transmission, interior and motor out of the Autotrader Magazine. The car became a lengthly and expensive three year project of many trials and tribulations.

Originally I bought a rebuilt 396 (375 hp) engine which developed cam shaft issues three years after the car was completed. After carefully researching whether to rebuild or buy new, I decided to purchase a GM Crate Motor.

This car is not a numbers matching car and not a trailer queen.
