A 66 with 800HP look like someone might get a great car.

I love that when they tell you not to call if you're not serious, but then don't put a price in the ad...

Someone who may be serious at $20k might be one of those darn offensive "tire kicker" SOB's at $30k, and will have to call and **** you off to find out.

Agree a price would be nice. If their a serious seller then they should at least have a price listed.

800HP from a 572 sounds awsome from the pics looks like small tube headers for that big an engine which you would think would be bigger. It sure would not be a stock crate 572 @ 800HP. The post lists nothing and there should be some serious drivetrian upgrades to deal with all that power. Just from the pics there are just breathers and no evacuation setup wounder what the button is on the shifter is for: ) Would love to call and chat with the guy but do not want to get him mad "tire kicking"

Often times, if there isnt a price in the ad, the price is usually high.

Can you really get 800HP on pump gas? Maybe if you buy it from the pump at the airport?

Yah, the button on the shifter is how he's calculating 800hp.

You can get 800HP on pump gas 91-93 octane out of a 540BBC++ or bigger without NOS or adders or high octane gas time and lots of $$$. The issue comes into streetable with cam size etc etc... The other issue is getting all that HPand FTlb to the ground and the other strong parts that you need to stay with it, tranny rear end, Frame, mounts, drive shaft, control arms etc, etc. The MPG are real real bad too : )
