Just picked up a 71 Dart drag car. Story I got was that the car has been a drag car since 76, and is/was well known. Car is school bus yellow with the word "MOPAR" on the doors above a pair of arms with bulging biceps and boxing gloves. There is a participant sticker on the guage panel from the 1998 Mopar Atlantic Nationals, although I was told the car came from New York. Seller bought this car several years ago with a scattered 440 shortblock and never did anything except store it. Car has 360 emblems on the fenders, though it was last raced with a 440 if that helps anybody's memory. Supposedly this car ran 10.2? at 142, although that MPH seems kinda a stretch for 10.20s.

Just wantin to get a little background on the car before I have my way with it, LOL. Any recollections, leads, action pics, etc are much appreciated. Thanks!
 
I Googled "remember this car" and this is what I found:

I think it's the matching driver's suit that does it.
 
Sorry, crappy phone pic is all I have at the moment.
