Ok not buying the BS at all. On Halloween in 1969 I bought a 1970 Mach 1 CJ with the drag pack. I had just turned 21 in September. 2 weeks after I bought it I put on lakewood traction Bars and a set of CragerS/S rims. I drove it threw the winter saving $$$. March came an a set of Tubular Automotive headers and a cam was done an another set Of Crager's for some M&H roundy round tires . Plus a few month's later with a 427 med riser.. but thats enuff of that for now,

I was not the only kid that did this . Everyone had the racing bug bad . We all spent $$$ like drunkin sailors . The Hemi's and Boss 429 were NOTHING. A CJ killed it bad. Oh there was one guy that had a brand new Hemi he turned into a race car. NO stock car was going to be king of the street !!

This was the tread on the tires. Hey they worked


And the car .. YES I had hair then !!


Car after I was done with it. $$$$$ pit.


Had already bought a 67 GT500 in 1972 an started thinking why I am sinking more $$$$ into the Mustang. Traded the roller for a 68 GT 500 roller. Then got into the Cobra an Shelby's kinda heavy.
