How many remember these?

I remember years ago a guy here was testing a new build. It was an older van but the engine (440) had been moved back to behind the front seats. He couldn't get it to run faster than a 13.10 (at the time I talked to him). He blamed it on the van having about the same aerodynamics as a free falling safe.

When we used to go to the NED bracket finals in the early 1980's there was a guy there running a van like that called "The Hairy Greek". It had either a 440 or a hemi in it at the time. I can't remember what he was running though. A friend at our track ran a Gremlin with SBC. That thing would not MPH.
