Is there any interest in resurrecting the Datsun that “the boys” cut their teeth on at the old Eastex dragway.

Our Dad bought a total of 3 of them. 1977 Datsun 810 wagon with inline 6 cylinder engine. Ran 19 seconds in the 1/4. The original one was orange and our Mom drove us to middle school in that one.

Unfortunately, those cars are long gone. I wish we would have at least kept one of them. How cool would that have been!

My all time favorite C-2 modified Vette belonged to Jimmy Faul out of Div 4, super clean and nice. Jerry Coley had it for a while {borrowed} and ran it over here some back in the day. I have to wonder where its at.

Yes, the specific one we are looking for on the FB post "Modified Eliminator - Gone, but not forgotten" page did belong to Joe. I know you remember those days!

If we cannot locate that specific car, we are still wanting to buy a car from that era.

It would be cool to see the old WOP SHOP resurrected? What about the sister cars of Tommy Costales’s 1984 SG Champ or David Hubbard’s end up?
