This Valiant Charger has done the US Drag Week for a lot of years. (it gets shipped back and forth like a yo-yo)

5 tracks over 5 days with around a 1,000 or more miles between 'em and it has to be street driven. John, has run 7.4's before  in the 190's, but on Saturday night in Perth, it ran a 201 MPH top end. The car was driven carefully off the line due to wheel spin. Worth a look.

Story goes it was done back in a time when people used them for speedway cars, Its a survivor currently running around North of Sydney apparently ..
Id have it in a heart beat,  V8 Auto Air etc, No wheezy stressed little oil burners or electric this's n thats to go kaput, A few drawbacks maybe but Bucket loads of style  .. Should have a sticker on it  " Old car with Altitude "   ;D ;D
Edit found another pic : Not a fan of the spare tire set up but hey ..
