As a teenager, I got a Ford Maverick from a junkyard that had been rolled, still drivable. I stuffed in an old 385 with c6 tranny. Never fixed the body other then the lights and running gear. Fun little car, won a few street races. Took it to a “run what ya brung” race at the Woodburn drag, blew the tranny up on my second run.
Ah, the Woodburn drag strip. We lived a mile away in the 80s. Loved to hear the cars.
