The only problem with something post 1976 is getting it smogged is going to be impossible... |

What you are not interested in the 90 Celica GT??????? Even if it was free.

Apparently, if it has a "show car" registration it will be exempt from smog, but will be restricted in the number of miles it can drive, which should be fine for our purposes. However, I'm pretty sure you can put just about whatever you want in a pre 1975 and register it normally.

I am down with any of the builds and would more than willing to put in a little money and lots of man hours to help.

Yes, the Mustang II.
BUT!!!! They want to put a SBC in it. That just won't do. If we want to go fast we will need a FORD motor.

There are far more Ford's with SBCs than GMs with Ford motors.  How bout an M2 with an Evo Motor, now that'd be cool.

I won. It will be free, unless you WANT to give her $200. Me, I wouldn't even take it if it was free.

Ok that's all fine and good. But, do we want to go that way or the tried and true V8 powered race car. We have 700r trans and cheap SBC power. We could fit that into just about anything . There is enough talent here to get it done. Just don't let me work on it.
