It looks good from far away, but get up close and you'll see a lot of nastiness! Maybe he'd make you a package deal he's got that panel and a 97 Dodge 3500 2wd with an NV4500 sitting up at the shop.

Like this you mean? It just needs a little Krebstomization.
Looks like it's had way too much!

I know Hans... There use to be a Classic Car Club back in 'ol Army days. Mostly muscle cars when everyone could still halfway afford them in the 93-97 days. He had a lot of cars...like a whole warehouse full of them down in Bastrop I think. He had a 9 sec small block camaro, some ratty crossfire injected corvette that would surprise a lot of people, a 3/4 70-72 checy LWB p/u w/ 400 BB and 4.56's! rackin some serious RPMS at 55mph. just a few that I recall...I think he inherited money from his Dad. I think he passed early on, maybe while he was in HS/college? and had a lot of property in Norway and a good life insurance policy..that was the story anyway...Is he married? I think his woman is one of my buddies ex's. Does she have a big snake tatted on her shoulder/neck?
6 degrees of Grayson..He may remember my car I drove back then....Black 1959 Studebaker Lark HT...I think I blew up my axle racing him off Greens prairie road

John did you see any studebaker powered cars...there are usually a couple of Avantis out there...I know of one 304 ci avanti running EFI and 40 lbs of boost via twin turbos...makes about 1200hp...driver reported the tires breaking loose at 180+ mph causing him to have and ease in/out of the throttle. He averaged 223 mph. the next day he split his chilled water intercooler. I've alway thought this avanti was bad ass. note the exhaust dump in front of the wheel. this one set a new stock car record. it was running an original type ball drive paxton from the sixties to qualify for the class...I think it took him three years to break it....204 mph.
Here's a list of the Avanti records set in 1962 and 1963...hard to believe these speeds were reached back then in a stock Avanti...probably on bias ply tires too.
A Studebaker Avanti R-3 driven by Andy Granatelli at Bonneville shattered 29 U.S. records in 12 hours in 1962: American class "C" Flying Start; 1 mile—168.15 mph; 5 mile—167.82 mph; 10 mile—163.90. American class "C" Standing Start; 1 mile—92.03 mph; 5 mile 139.69; 10 mile—151.66 mph. All 29 records are the average speeds of a 2 way run, and are not the top speeds obtained. Granatelli came back that year with his R3 to score 170.78 mph, and broke five other Class C marks. Altogether twelve Studebakers smashed 337 different USAC records in six classes. Production R-1 models listed 0-60 mph times of about 10.5 seconds, the standing-start quarter-mile in 17.0 seconds at about 80 mph, and top speeds of 115-120 mph.
