I saw this car a while ago , very rough chop top , car the same but roof lines look cool . I think most people wouldn't take it on .
Drag car only !

Even as a drag car the big hole in the roof concerns me.

Nothing new.... Gassers from old were like this all the time.... I looks like a full cage is in there.... Would make a cool old school budget dragster I reckon.... Even if it's rough.... Someone needs a gasser project surely?

Spoke to the owner , He works over your side of the world Humpty in the mines
Good bloke . Its worth the money in my opinion
I may even buy it just have to find time to look at it first

It might be worth checking into the cages spec.... Might need to be redone to make ANDRA legal...

Did anyone end up looking at this?

matberry - November 26th, 2010 at 04:28 PM

Yeah Col looked at it. As Pagey said, really rough, cage useless, if it was made from galvanised fence post bent over a rock it may be better, chop rough and car too. Lots of work to do anything with it.

Yes there is nothing like owning a good chop top.
