    my attempt at recreating an old style stock class race car. The car used to run in the low 13 second bracket with a 455, but with a new 389 stroker it is now running 12.40 at 108 mph. race car 001.JPG
     
  2. Nice looking old car. 12s is pretty respectable for the old car.

    Stroked to what?
     
  4. Looks like 447-453 is the most popular stroker kit for a 389.

    This Tin Indian got MY attention! Love the script, very authentic.
    Yes, low to mid 12s are still 'bunny-quick'.

    The Old Pontiac looks really nice and running in the mid 12's makes even sweeter.

    Nice ride. 12's is great! A fast car yet you don't have to cage it.
