It's not my cup of tea, but ten year old me is squirming out of the family's Falcon wagon to go get a closer look...
Cragar's......dual quads.....
I love the mickeys on the back and the bfs on the front classic
I get it. 
That's awesome

And those Cragars are four bolts. I hated them then, but they're nifty now.
Yep, period correct flake and everything!
Don't forget the name! I had a Formula 400 back in the late 70's that had "Dream Weaver" painted in rolling gold leaf across the back side of the rear spoiler!
Oh man. I want that.
The only change i'd make would be to go to a square setup.
I feel like it needs individual stacks and zoomies, like an old gasser.
In reply to mndsm:
No, see that's what really gets me about this picture. I see your point, stack FI and zoomies were cool, but not all that common on the street. This car seems to capture the typical street machine in the mid to late 70's, which was also a little past the gasser era.
What happened to the fad of air ride rear shocks set to high? HiJackers
This was the era of the exploding Pinto and I remember that municipalities had laws about how high you could actually lift up the back end and still be legal.
It was a stupid look and I guess these guys were the ricers of their era.

Fours on the front, fives on the back.
If that thing doesn't have a "Gas, Grass, or Ass" sticker on it somewhere, they didn't do their homework.

There used to be a Grabber Blue '71 or so Mach 1 in town with "TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT" across the back of the spoiler... 
in 1983

Truth be told, mine still had a name in 1983. But that was the end, as I painted over it in...1983 to be exact!
In reply to Duke:
Lol, so true...
When I was in high school (when those came out), there was a guy that had one like that. Good thing he worked at the local Ford dealer body shop. you could tell when he raced it Friday or Saturday, he had it in the body shop when they were closed on Sunday straightening out the frame. After almost every race day, he drove it home on 3 wheels. Only one front wheel touching the ground.
None of my Pintos ever looked like that. 
In reply to JohnRW1621:
My first car, a 72 Mustang, had air shocks.
They kept blowing out every time I jumped a set of railroad tracks.
That is too cool!
The driver looks period correct too

My kids wouldn't think of jumping railroad tracks. WTH is wrong with them anyway?
Extra points when he installs side pipes. He'll win at everything forever if they're functional.

I get what you're sayin. It's totally period correct, for what it is.
