This thing is unbelievably wild.

Three additional 351 engines were added for a combined total of 3,000 horsepower.

The four engines run through a single-clutch with power evenly distributed to all four wheels. It wasn't just a show car — hitting 180 mph on the drag strip.

That's cool, Pak, never saw it before. Looks like it's been restored with a different paint job. Did some googling and found it was built by Gary Weckesser back in the day.

Ah, back in the day when drag racing was much cooler :D I was a bit disappointed, at my first US nationals last year (indianapolis), the only nostalgia (or even experimental?) drags were the gassers.
