Pro-mod that started life as 84 Hurst/442
Not much is left from that but pretty impressive nonetheless.

I didn't watch the video, because I have seen the car before, but the car has all of it's lights, and a stereo system. He drove it up & down the Vegas strip, and even gave a kid a ride in it (y)

Had no idea he was from Dubuque IA, I've spent quite a bit of time there.

The video seems a BIT fishy though. Maybe I am reading between the lines? The format just seems more like a commercial by the owner where he wanted a feature by 1320, paid/requested him to video it and bam, video.

My drag weekend event I attend goes through Dubuque, maybe my buddy/promoter can get him to attend (unlikely)....

Calling that a street car is, hmmm, like melloelky said.


Put that beetch through a drive and drag event. If that can drive 300 miles let alone 1400 is a no brainer. Tom Bailey is running high 5’s and can drive it. Not comfortably, but can drive it.

I agree Jake, looks like a publicity stunt with 1320. More power to Rod, but I won’t say that is a street car.

A street car can head out at a moment’s notice for a 100-500 mile drive. That sh*t ain’t no street car.


Irks me to see some *ss hat call his car a street car. Because it has the factory tail lights?

SMH.


Edit - it is neat, clever, fast AF. I like what Rod has done with it. But looking at the broken block is a $25-50k dilemma - very typical street car eh?

I hear you but. . . have you seen Cleetus driving his Corvettes with open exhaust to and from events? Hell he pulls a trailer with the stick car.
