Crammed-in that "racing" Ford rear end with Daddy's welder for the massive drag racing torque expected. Girls, and a newer Mustang changed the direction and the car was pushed right out there amongst the trees like you see it, thus saving one more coupe for us restorer-types to be able to piece back together from the dead. So, who still says that "Wanna Be" hot rodders are bad souls? That coupe that the kid inadvertently saved is in way better shape than Kube's avatar. DD

It saw the track I believe. It came from Kokomo, IN. US 41 Dragstrip is located there. When I was a kid I spent many a weekend at US 30 Dragstrip my brother in-law ran a 67 Camaro there.
