9-second Junkyard Treasure

You all might remember Parish from his twin turboed Z71 that has been sodomized all over the Internet from various videos and photos, well he is back at it, with a project that was intended to be easy on the wallet, and tough on the competition.

It's a great drag car but I wouldn't spend 5 mins behind the wheel of it on the street.

That wasn't the idea of the build.

It was to build a "sleeper" car, on a budget, with parts that were not high-end or even brand name.

I think we got your opinion the first time. It's not your kind of thing!

That car should make a great episode of Pinks. I hope they get some tires under that thing so it can hook up.

The "k-car look alike" is a Fox body: the basis for the Mustang GT back then.

I liked the Fairmont's plain looks, although it was not a great car, and it makes a great sleeper (as does the Fairmont's contemporary, the Chevy Nova).
