Mike- Welcome to the site. I am finally responding. Awesome car !! I love it. Looks bad-ass. I'd love to see that thing run. I used to race in Epping back in the late 80's. I have the time slip when I ran a .520 light the first time ever driving my friends car. A 67 SS/RS Camaro. 9 second motor, 10 second car. 3800 lbs without driver. I did it in 12.1 seconds. Scary crap, I'll tell you. That car just has the look. What state are you in ?? Send more pictures!!

Great site and looks like a great bunch of people. I am going to add the photos I have loaded on the other threads to this one …

Cool, I'm right next door. I'm in Connecticut. John Silva was up in Ipswich. It looks like your front end was his. I sold him my shark years ago. I heard it is still floating around the area. Where are you in Mass?? I am in Ellington Ct, about 1/2 hour from Sturbridge. Also near Springfield. Are you close to that side?

Tough to get good pictures with flash so please excuse the brightness is area's. A little air brushing or a back light and picture type frame really looks cool …

About 18 miles east of Providence Rhode Island. Straight line from you it looks like about 90 miles east/southeast. Ipswich is northeast of me past Boston roughly 90 miles.
