takes some training of the mind to shift it backward........will not let any body drive it because of that.

any ways thats my pride and joy!

 

yes reverse valve body is a pain in the but to get use to nut then driving a prn321 isnt a simple task after a pnr123, or driving a manual for years then getting into and auto and your leeft leg lurks for the pedal...lol

That was my first, 1st place trophy.
Ended up getting my 2nt, 1st place trophy the fallowing week.
edded up 4th in points that year.

 

I have actually owned 4 of them but this was the only one worth keeping.

It not as clean as it appears, them pic were 4 years ago and the rust in the back quarter........well i should be fixing them problem instead of planning a New Stroker motor.........but i am

O and back in 89 when i buy it..........I payed $600 for it. front end was shot alt dead and a timing chain ready to brake........But it was mostly rust free then.

 

Ya its the factory ratchet shifter that don't ratchet in reverse that make it so difficult ......hit the button pull down......hit the button pull down ....Hit the button pull down.....................its all second nature now but create a few over rev's before i got he hand of it!

Vary nice Ride by the way
