    $10K---For just a little bit of money. It won it's class 42 years ago. Wonder what it ran and what the record for the class is today. Bet there's a huge difference with all the new technology. :)

    Looks like some engine work that A.K. Miller did back then, I know he put six side draft carbs on one and ran it. and he also put three 1 barrels on another and ran it too.
    And then there's mine........

    I'm still more impressed with Mike Robinson's turbo 300 Maverick that runs in the 10s.

    So that is the actual car? and it's never been anything but a race car? That would be sweet, but rip that nasty 6 outta there.

    Why would you want to rip out the original engine the car ran with at Bonneville?

    You can get a junk yard Maverick and swap a 302 in it.

    The historical value of this car is the fact that it ran at Bonneville w/ an inline 6, not a V8.

    Rip the puny 2.2 MFI from Mark Donohue's 1970 Porsche and put in a Chevy 350 while you're at it! :)
