Mark,
Do you think NHRA would be OK with the factory installed (optional) swivel bucket seat? Maybe a swivel Kirkey. That would be a first!

How about a 1978 or 79 monte carlo seems like when i was in the Navy one of the chief's came to work in monte carlo that had a v-8 small block with a factory turbo installed it was brand new at the time,the one thing i really remember about it was that it started to smoke pure white one afternoon when he was leaving.Did they put a turbo on the monte carlo that year.
