    Well guys, Christmas was very good to me this year, I must have been a good boy,lol. :rolleyes:

    And no...it's not Buick-related but it is exciting nonetheless and fit's the theme and the direction my life is going.

    This should be here in California in about a week or so...John Everett knows about this and approves this purchase! ;)

    I present the Pat Foster-built Billy Lynch dragster, the very last car Pat constructed before he passed.
    It comes with a matching Mr. Ed's trailer...it's one of just 13 built in 1968 and is certainly the finest example to exist today.

    Both cars done in Candy Apple red w/Gold Leaf lettering, both cars say Brooklyn on them, my birthplace...in the end, resistance was futile! :)

    More than likely I'll use my '07 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD crew cab diesel when I'm not towing the funny car with it.

    Jerry,
    This will primarily be a cackle car although I do have the driveshaft and it can be made to do some little squirts or push starts if we choose to do so.

    I have my TF license can I drive it.:D
    Here are a few shots to show a modern NTF car compared to John's. Although the engines are the same size 392.
    This car was a blast to drive as they all are!
    Can't wait to see it in person. full lside smoke.jpg launchRD1DHR JE.JPG DHR JE CHRR11 chutes.jpg
