I just purchased this veh and wondering if it would be good for a stocker. Any ideas?

How fast ya wanna go Mr. Waters? Traditional package or Crate combo? I have one of them as well, but one race car is enough for me.

Several racers out here in Div. 6 are playing around with 302 Comets and Mavericks,, I'm thinking theres a good reason why. I say go for it.

Danny is right. There a few of those cars around this area. I am sure there are some closer to you, but 2 contacts that I know of around here and on this site are - B/S 428, Brian Seaberg and fordteacherguy, Brian Thompson. They either own or have worked on these cars. There is also a 82 Capri in R/SA around here that has run .9 under index. Good luck to you on the project.
