73 Omega in MN

New to the forum. Love the "other" x bodies. Recently finished a Ventura and am now starting on a 73 Omega project, Picked the car up in Phoenix last winter in pieces, Body is straight and rust free and paint is Arizona baked with plenty of patina


which I plan to retain for now. The plan is a 70s inspired drag car that will see some street time.

You must not have the straight 6 anymore. That is really fast. Nice job.

Welcome! Like the others have said "That's fast!" Tell us about your engine setup.

I'll bet that's quite a rush to drive! I put a stock 455 in a 73 Omega in the early 80's. That was fast to me but not compared to yours!

Wow. Nice looking car. I enjoy racing my car, but would love to find one to restore as well.
