Help!!!!!

You'll laugh by today's standards, this was in the early/mid 1970's, but it went........12.80's @ 107

Best with the Tarantula that I actually witnessed was 12.70 @ 108.

This all occurred while still desperately trying to keep it street legal...lol. He eventually dumped the tags, put race headers on it and lightened it some more. The last time I saw it run it was turning 12.50's at just shy of 110mph. He lost the trans and then just put it away. Several years later he mentioned just hanging on to it for one of his kids. Then they moved out of my area and I lost touch.

I sometimes wonder about it. He bought it new for cash @ 19yrs old that he'd saved since he was like 13. I used to tease him about why he didn't buy a Hemi and all he could say was, that's all I had the cash for. Ironically, since the Cuda came standard with a 383, the 340 actually was a credit on the invoice...lol.

Oh yea, when he quite driving it, the mileage had just turned 14K.......Today, can you say barn find???


Not laughing, Rick. Don't know what they are running today (and really don't care!); like you, I'm old school.....and 12's are pretty damn respectable to me. I'm not building this to race and win trophies or money; I'm building this to finish a job I started 30 years ago:

and to have a nice street rod I can show in the local car shows with a bunch of old motorheads like myself.
Mid 12's would suit me just fine!
