Featured Car - David Roland's 1985 Grand National |

|
David, from Michigan, says that this car was a fully optioned 85 GN that he put on a diet. The car orginally had every option including factory moonroof and C68 auto climate control. Dave removed every power option, seats, windows, locks, power steering, heater and A/C. He then installed fiberglass bumpers and aluminum energy absorbers to further reduce the weight. For safety, Dave installed a 6 point roll bar . He also retained the often misunderstood and maligned POWERMASTER brake system (which he says works great!!!).
The result of this "Crash" diet? The car now weighs in at 3355 lbs. in Bowling Green with driver. The scales at Bristol said the car weighted 3250 lbs with driver. Dave says his goal with this car is to continue to lighten the car and tune it to run consistent 10.85's without any internal mods. Future Plans include a 4.1 Stage I block with Stage 2 heads and a full tilt TH400. Features: Motor
