I'd seen this pic in the magazine last month, but I just was on the website and saw they used it for lead pic on a tech article for suspension setups. That's one hell of a wheelie :lol:

There is a good side view picture of it in the new 5.0 Magazine too. Should have some serious sponsorship from the company that makes his k-member and a-arms! Obviously they can handle some abuse.

I just Emailed the pic to my buddy. He said that was taken at Bowling Green, KY.

Here's his 63 Falcon Sprint in the same lane as Mike's Stang was pulling the wheelie.

Nice pics Mike! I was surprised to see the DPR sticker on the rear window still. I think you may be the only car left with one.

Thanks guys! Yeah, there are a few who think I did this on purpose, but I didn't. I made some small changes in the car and woof! up it went. I had the shocks on full stiff, pulled weight out of the trunk, and hung weight on the front, and it still went straight up. Next year it will leave straight and hard, looking for 1.2X 60fts. I know it will do it if it can click the 60' with the rear tires and go a low 1.4. It never gets old getting another mag with my car in it! Thanks again!
