Featured Car - David Newton's 1986 Grand National


A classic Recipe car ...

David's 1986 GN is a fine example of what some TLC can do on his 3600 lb street warrior. He has 10,000 miles on the enginer rebuild and it the car looks like new! David continues to tweak and refine and plans on getting 36 lb injectors, a scan tool, and alcohol injection to hit those magic 11s!
