That's my old car. I wrote Mike and gave him the story how I found it around 1988 and brought it home.

I had it mocked up with a blown Chrysler 392 Hemi as seen in this photo in my driveway around 2002.

I started building the purple "Magic Muffler" Fiat in 2000 so it was right after this photo that I sold it. I still have the purple "Magic Muffler" Fiat today.

Last weekend I spent 2 days at the gasser event at Kuhnle motorsports Park, (formally Thompson dragway). My buddy Jason's fiat didn't make it, (broken). Here's some pic's of the remodeled track ($3 million so far) it's not finished yet.

Just found in a shed in Oklahoma. The guy who found it wants to restore it back to its glory days when it raced in the 70's.

That was a bad day (night).

Basically when you're running Nitromethane in these motors it's like a grenade ready to go off..!!!

As you can see 5 pistons and rods came out this night and 3 pistons stayed up inside.

Here's an aftermath photo of it >

Something I display next to the car when I have it out.

Next to my friends Fiat Topolino as we were leaving a show. ( cars being pushed of course! )
