im not sure if i would call my car "pro street" it is more of an all around car. it is built to be a drag car but im trying to make it so that it will handle better than a stock ride and stop a whole lot better. i think the new term is pro touring? when i think of "pro street" i think of back halfed drag cars with full interiors and graphic paint jobs.
This was the route I was so very close to going years ago. Had a neighbor that had enough of his race car, a 66 Nova that ran 9's. Had 14wx32 slicks on the *** end of it. Plan was to take the 15 to 1 small block out of it and replace it with a warmed up big block, change the gears and spool and a few other things. By the time I got the $$ together we had chased the gremlins away again and he was back to enjoying the car....
My / My dad's (his car but he gave it to me) 1973 340 Duster. He's had it since 1976 and it has remained virtually unchanged (Except for wearing a bunch of different paint jobs) for over 25 years.
I guess you could call it a vintage/surviving pro-street type car (kinda). It sat in the garage since the early 90's after a small branch fell off a tree and chipped the paint on the left fender. My dad was so mad that he parked it in the back of the garage and forgot about it for about 15 years. This September when I was driving it was the first time it saw the road in 17 years, and it finally reached 60,000 miles.
