Ron Pruett set several records with the car at Bonneville in the 90's. He had it up for sale for awhile then I didn't see it anymore at the meets I attended or participated in. Don't know if the current owner/seller ran it at the salt or anywhere else. The ad sounds like it still has the same type and size engine Ron ran in it.

Current owner bought from Ron, and updated some things on the car. The car was a high dollar pro built car.

Sparky....As I remember, Mike Cook and Ron built the car. When I worked at JFZ Engineered products many years ago, I supplied the brakes for it. I remember having to send another set after a chute failure at Bonneville. Would have been `91, I think...

Thanks So the car has spent at least 20 years as a racer

 Has spent a lot more years sitting than racing. Ran ran a big Ford engine. Ron is a true craftsman with everything he does. A picture of the car was in the office of Joe Fontana for all of his help with the Ford power. Has been on Racingjunk for a month. The McMeekin Nissan SX is on there too.....

John ( the owner) is back in town so you can call him on the number in the ad and he will tell you anything you want to know.
