History
The body of this vehicle was purchased by it's present owner 12 year ago after making sure that it had never been in any serious frame altering accidents. The present day owner began production of this car while his mechanic (Alfredo Bolotto) was still working full time for Ford and doing high performance work out of his garage on the weekends. Up until summer 2004 this vehicle sported a Cobra kit and made it's rounds competing in events sanctioned by surrounding race tracks while sponsored by NJ based Taino race team. While running 11's (naturally aspirated) this vehicle cracked it's stock block @ Atco during an NMRA event while doing it's qualifying run in 2001. The cracked block was replaced by a Sportsmans Block. In 2002 this vehicle was equipped with a Vortech T-Trim Blower, Stage #2 ground pounder fuel system by Anderson Ford and the whole rear was replaced by WildRides using what they call "The Outlaw Setup". Over the next 2 years the owner has strived to make this vehicle lighter (weightwise) and dependable in the way of performance. Presently, she consistantly runs high 9's - low 10's w/heavy power doors, no matter how hot it is outside (LOL).
