Sprint ED did you see that on the History Channel. It is an impressive car. What about Jay Leno's collection, everything from a Desurnberg 8 to a steam powered motorcycle to an Oldsmobile running Corvette running gear.

It is currently just a tad under $250,000.

Read the Ebay ad. They were cast by Mickey Thompson based on Chrysler hemi heads in an attempt to have a head that was competitive with the Hemis.

FORD Racing History very well....

Very Unique and a classic Drag car ...

Gotta Love that ford muscle... even if it doesn't tickle your eyeballs !

Remember, it was running 11's in 1964, on 155 cross plies.....


You would give me away for this car, I don't think so........is a nice car though. Price is nearly the same as our house, you can't live in a car.

I reckon it'll go for half million.

Not only does he have to make his money back on the resto, that ebay listing would have cost a fortune! :P
