first i have to start off by asking , AL COOPER , WHERE ARE YOU ? MY EMAIL IS : racen.ted@verizon.net
i want to thank tom at www.moparts.com for having such an awesome mopar page for all of us .
tom also has my car on display at moparts under the pic pages as
"awesome wagon" .
the following pages have other cars and trucks etc. dont forget to check them out . page 5 has bad ass cowl induction hood scooped mopars !
this black car is no longer mine it was sold to a really cool guy in england named donny who had a twin turboed hemi put in it and the lenco 4 speed from the dart . . it is a 62 plymouth fury wagon, it is known now as the "warpig" . the trailer in the pic is my 45 ft enclosed that i bought in ohio !
the car was formerly called the "hemiwagon" , it was featured on ESPN 2 , HOT ROD tv ,INSIDE DRAG RACING , mopar muscle mag , mopar action , hot street cars , drag illustrated magazine .
it has a best e.t. of 7.41 @ 198.5 mph .
. todd sold me this car because he has a new 7/8ths scale model , that is 800+ lbs lighter . this new replacement wagon has now went 6.68 @ 224 mph .
the warpig has an all steel body and even has power windows that work ! it has the stock steel dash , steel hood , fenders , doors etc , all original body panels .
it has wicked 5" flowmasters and a dana 60 with 4.10 highway gears .
i had 2 surgeries on my neck and lost so much money from being out of work that i knew i could never afford to finish the warpig and make it live up to it's reputation . in my mind it would have to remain steel and run at least in the 7's to make a respectable impression on me ? that's just the way i am . i have been around race cars for a long time and way too many times have i seen people sell a fast car minus engine , only to have the next guy put it together with more money and go WAY slower ! i just felt on my income i couldn't afford to build enough engine for the car to get the car its proper respects it should get . this car deserves to go mid 7 seconds or better as a race car , it's allready done it ! . someone else may settle for 9's but maybe it's just me ? now it is going to be street driven by a family man so i cant put a # on what it should or will do ? donny has more resources to make big hp and has big plans for it so we'll see what happens ?
i have my old 68 dart back which is more in my budget plus i have the entire old wedge drivetrain still out of it even that ran 9's !
back to the warpig , todd shepherd ran these
huge ass exhaust , those are 5" pipes for the 5" flowmasters , you know this bitch must CACKLE !
and this is a pic of the car when todd started building it . the car was a dept. of agriculture car for a northern state, i cant recall which one though ?
boy did todd do a nice job on the beast , it really came out nice . i added some flames on it with my puter program to see how it looks , i wish i was able to paint them on a car like this .
