Like NASCAR and 73-87's? Check this out!
Look what I just found in an old magazine I purchased recently. This has to be one of the coolest things I have found lately...and I just had to add it to 73-87.com.
All-American Pickup Truck 200

Scoti, I was thinking the same thing. They are basically re-bodied Grand National cars, but I just dig the stance and the way they look.
Glad you guys like them. MIke, I heard Richard Petty say something that has stuck with me for over half my life. He said "Men started racing cars after the second one was made". One of my favorite quotes.

The GM's are showing us the early days of the Nascar trucks series, and this Ford is showing the ricers where "drifting" got started.... |

I just noticed this on your site today Jeff. I was going to send you an email about it, but...
A couple of years back when I was at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talledega, AL they had one of those trucks on display there.

This is a vintage article I stumbled across in the September 1983 issue of Pickup Van & 4WD magazine. Chris, did you take any pictures? Glad you guys like this article. I felt like I struck gold when I came across it.
