Looks like a pretty nice car. Is that car from Illinois? If so did it run at Byron? Just wondered a buddy of mine runs there and might know the car or the guy. Good luck.

Hey Happy Thanksgiving !

Nice looking car David..also glad to see you stepping over to a Door car.
the 3rd member,pinion support,pinion yoke and gear is a 2k set up or a tad more branch new.

from what i can see the cage has neat weld beads..the red paint makes it a little hard for me to make out the welds closley but it looks like it could be Tigged ?..its it a CM cage..

only thing i can see i would personally change is clean up the wiring a little bit in the cock pit..but i am an Anal old fart.... 8)

Brian no doubt I am as anal as anyone when it comes to wiring, I am sure you've seen my jobs on the dragsters. That is the first thing I will fix about it. It is CM cage, has been certified in the past just has ran out, he says it will pass again. That there leads to another question do I get this guy to sign to something saying it will tag again ? He is friends of a friend of mine and buddy of mine has said its a good car and will tag again. 8.50 tag is all I need anyways for it.

Zip has pm'd with me a few times and he was guessed what I figured it was worth. I am meeting the guy sunday AM.

This is also my 2nd door car, last one ran 9.7's. Was a mustang with a 383 sbc, was neat little car just was boring as heck. With the 10.00 index being a popular thing latley along with a lot more cash to be had locally with no box this looks like a good option for me. Wiring and a chassis tag are first on my list for sure.

thanks for everyone that has posted :D

David,

I am doing the same thing. There is just so much more stuff you can run with a door car than a dragster. No box stuff, index racing, and more...

Hopefully I will have mine Saturday around lunch time...

I would say if you could get it for around 10-12 that you would be doing good...

No doubt the dragster world is switching back to door cars for a few reasons, my main is like you said a lot more racing to do with it. second reason, no doubt a dragster looses value like the stock market right now, hard to sell them.

10-12 I wish I could find one like that for that price range :shock:
Seems a good backhalf car that runs 9.5-9s with good parts is 15-22k
this one is priced a little more then my dragster rolling.

car kind of car you getting Josh ?

There was a really nice 67 camaro that had a 496 in it for under 17 on here. He wanted to trade for my dragster so you could give hime a call if you were interested. Its ad 1355001

I was really close to trading him, but its heavier than I wanted. Its 3100lbs.

I am getting a 92 Camaro round tube car that weighs a whopping 1830 lbs with a small block and no driver. I cant afford a big motor so I figured I would just find a really light car. I am trading him roller for roller, but I have a mild little 360 that should run 9.60-9.70 at that weight.

The Malibu does look like a high quality car though. If your like me you would re wire any car you got any how. That way you know what is what

[hammertime]

I got more pics of that 67 camaro, didnt care for it. Of course 67-69 camaro's are one of the most popular cars around, had a good offer on a local guys camaro but like the malibu. Weighs a bunch but thing should get down a dirt road :D Give me another motor in the fleet also 8)

92 them are good looking cars, very light. Thinking the 9.5-9.990 mark is a good place to be. Will leave on the bottom bulb well i'd think.

Last time I bottom bulbed I was doubled in my dragster, 3rd round of no box opps top bulb :?

Hey David, i'm going to see that buddy of mine that runs at Byron this morning. I'll see if he remembers that car and get some info if you want. Good luck. It is a real good looking car though. Let me know or leave it up to you.

Did you get the Malibu???

[hammertime]

Still own the dragster, how about you ?

[I972Nova]

Just bought a new set of rear wheels for my dragster...lol...

I guess I will keep it, I am having a very hard time finding something that I can fit in comfortably. I already have a truck that I run in No box, so I guess I will just have to update it instead...
