derby car

It was not my car. I love to derby, but even i know when to say "not that car!!" The guy that ran it said that he has a mopar wrecking yard and that they had no use for the car. it looked pretty clean to me!

i derby too....i thought running a diesel was kinda crazy to me.....i mean that motor is soooo heavy its gotta be hard to push it around in that mud,.....plus you want something that will take heat forever and just keep running....i would think a diesel wouldnt respond well in this situation,.....plus what i waste of a good motor....i love to derby too but if this catches on it'll be even harder to find a good cummins...cummins fanatics will be like amc collecters....where did all the eagles go?.....hope we never have to worry about that
