Got this car delivered today that was supposedly an old race car that ran high 10s with an lt1. It's a green 95 with pewter 98+ front clip and a blue ss hood. Just curious if anyone recognized it at the track or knew more about it

That's my old car, mid transition in a 98-02 swap, that has since been parted up. Still have my 385 waiting for a new owner or resting place.

The car was a street/strip car. Adam drove that thing out to monthly meets all over the state, and would then slap QTPs on it when he felt like yanking front tires.

- Dirty blonde hair - Check

- One pal is approaching bic cut - Check
- Life changes after race - Check
