Found this pic on images. much closer to what I had but the one in this pic looks nicer than the one I had. I'll see if I can 'recreate' it for you... just for old times sake... and to give me something to do. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just searched for Top Fuel Top Speed and found this Wiki that is quite interesting. Top speed for 1/4 mile is now 337. Due to the Scott Kalitta crash, most racing is now limited to 1000 ft and the record for that is 336! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Fuel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can fit most brands and widths of wheels and tyres... and customise colours ). I always loved that design - I think it's timeless - and they can be stock or souped up and always look so cool just standing there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a complete petrol head this is a great thread! Jensen Interceptor was an interesting concept, British car with an American engine, although many forget the Rover V8 was a Buick engine. My Father had a 74 Interceptor, Silver with black leather, was a good place to be in the back seat as a wee boy. I don't know about anyone else, but Jay Leno has the best man cave in the world with that garage, be my ultimate dream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
