I remember what it used to look like many many years ago.
And I know where that picture was taken.

Yes as Ian stated it belonged to my dad for many years.. I think he bought it in 1976 and never drove it on the street. It was changed in the mid 80's to more of its current set up. Tubbed with fiberglass fenders, hood, front bumper, and trunk. It made it back to the street around 2000 with a new owner and the addition of glass doors and some more tweaks like the dolphin hood scoop. (The original fiberglass hood with a GTS scoop is on the wall at home)
I have been digging around for some more photos but they are all on slides or actual photo that need scanning. |

Most people remember the old yellow tub submarine
I wish. The last time this car was in action at the track I was probably 5 or 6 :( I got many hours of seat time when it was in storage as a kid lol |

that car looks mean,just noticed seeing it on a computer screen that it has ghost flames on the hood and sides.hope it is a drag only car as they eliminated the turn signals in the front bumper.It don't need them for track only use but for the street it's required by law.
also think it would look better with blacked out grille |
