Title: Found a boat I couldn't live without
Post by: 1wicked55 on July 06, 2014, 10:29:14 PM

I just bought a 1980 Southwind tunnel dragster 19 ft this thing is MINT original condition. I will try to post some detailed pics later.
The paper work says it's a LS-7 with two 660 on a tunnel ram.

It just needs a new battery and it's ready to rock.

Keep the cruiser in my opinion if you can afford it...That's like having a 67ss with matching numbers and a mercedes on the side. My dream world.

Thanks.

I had to trade a 69 427 4 spd Vette for it. The Vette was non matching # but a real bb car and could use new paint.  And they gave me $4500 so to me it was like a deal of a life time.
