Strange I thought most of these miss-fits where born before then.

I know I was long before that; I did not have the coin to buy one  !  ! ~!

And some days I feel a lot older than I look and other days I feel a lot younger than I look.   :068:  :powersix:

My question is what does Drag Pack look like today? (pictures)

Drag pack was 390 or 430 gears with a Detroit Locker. Oil Cooler, PS cooler, Better rods, staggered shocks.. Plus more I am sure I am forgetting..  Swapped the CJ out 6 months later for a 427 med riser with 2/4s (carbs...I know what are those  :icon_eyes: ).. Had a one piece glass nose made for it.. Custom paint  :rolleyes; , dropped 2" front axle.. What a $$$ pit it was.. BUT I learned quick so I didn't loose much on the car. Sold it in 1975 as a "roller".. LOW mileage to boot. Took a 68 Shelby GT 500 as partial trade.  Then dove into the Cobra/Shelby stuff for another 5 years. I guess cars are a "sickness"  :rock:
