I think that the FOX Mustang would be the way to go from a parts standpoint. It would need some work on the Blueprint Specs though. 79 shows 2 171s in the class Guide, one at 100/130 HP and one at 109/120 HP and both autos. The Blueprints show only the 100/130 HP motor and it lists carbs for both auto and stick!
BTW, I can remember seeing Rockwells car at Island leaving on the bumper and breaking axles! talk about Stockers needing wheelie bars!

I don't know Tom or Sean but I have seen the car around and think that this puppy could be faster than stink. AND it can fit 5 different classes with an intake change.

The three cars here are still good "Dime Rockets"

What year(s) would it have to be? What engine would be preferred?

Man that car is a boat at nearly 4k lbs. Definitely fits the different & unique factor. I would never have imagined hearing the term faster than stink and Imperial used in the same sentence lol.

When its on the top of the qulifiying sheet it would be. If i did not have so many irons in the fire this would be a neat car to make fly.
