This is a cool car Paul! It was up on one ot the other forums.

"This is a real survivor - a toss-back to the days of yore - and proof that they just don’t build cars like they used to..."
Amen to that! I've always thought the 68 Cyclone was a better looking car than the Torino GT, and this one looks great!

I saw that on another thread's link....what a sweet car!
I love the original paint & hand lettering/graphics!!!
How many 40 year old drag cars survive with all their original mechanicals and paint???
I'd guess.....ONE!
428CJs were tough engines...
I know that it can be done much better now, but 'Old school' is great...Big cars with big cube big blocks and big thumper cams.

Car looks like a 68 but has a 69 grille.
No matter; beautiful car.
Makes me miss my 68 Cyclone GT even more. I have an old picture of her in my computer's picture file, but the system will not let me send the photo as an attachment.
