Jimi Sent This;
“This is a picture of the last car me and my dad built for racing it is the 1997 dodge avenger “beauty car” this car was used for tv commercials and brochures, the car runs a 390 ci small block naturally aspirated at 2800#s runs low eight’s at over 160.00 mph, this is the car my dad made his first 8 second pass in , it always amazed him coming from the cars of the 60’s that a small block car could run in the eights in the quarter mile.”
