doc, dont know if he needs the dollars or not but earlier this year he responded to a wanted ad i was posting and sold me a wieand dragstar intake for a red ram hemi. my guess is he just sells of his surplus parts. Al.
He sells, buys and trades just like the rest of us. I've had 2 guys I know do buisness with him. I'll agree, it's strange cause he's Big Daddy.
Yep, he's in the market just like everyone else. He drove here from Florida to buy our old A-Fuel Dragster's Tractor / Trailer. We spent a few minutes with him showing him where everything was. He signed a few autographs and what not. Then he pulled the van he was driving up in the trailer, tied it down and was off in the matter of an hour...
He ain't robbing anyone, as that's a fair price for how far along it is. Wouldn't expect him to give it away, or store it on a shelf. It's not really a drag race engine, but would look cool in a hot rod. Just my opinion...
