I purchased the Ford 1971 Boss 351 Mustang in the year 1974 as a second owner and had it since. This car was designed by myself to be a very fast "Sleeper," or a muscle car that can race both on the street as well as
the track for Quarter-Mile NHRA sanctioned drag racing. I only used DOT, (Dept of Transport), street tires for racing on the street and track. In the 1970s and '80s, every muscle car were on the streets cruising and racing
so my car was set up to hook and go with minimal spinning and burnout. In addition, because the car was unique and in quality state, I was invited to participate in numerous car shows, collector displays, and national exhibitions
over the years. And from Day-1 to today, this car has been built, tuned, raced, and maintained by Nick Panaritis of YouTube's popular "Nick's Garage," 
the best muscle car live-streaming program on the internet.
In the 70's, I modified the 351 Boss engine for racing and a small block too difficult to run on street tires for both the street and track. A small block has to rev high and when I pop the clutch OVER 3000 RPM, I had a hard time sticking to the ground and spun everywhere. If the car cannot stick at the start without spinning everwhere, it was hard to beat the Chevy and Mopar big blocks in a quarter mile so I decided to change the 351 Boss motor and put in a big 429 Cobra Jet. Big block motors has a lot more torque and do not need to rev as high off the line which gives me a very consistant start without spinning the tires endlessly. A couple of years later, I decided to put in a modified Ford 460 SVO Cobra Jet crate motor bought directly from the Ford Racing factory in Detroit and this is the motor currently in the car. All maintenance and repairs done on the Mustang over the years has been performed by Nick Panaritis and he has used the top products for all his race cars. Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil, Wix oil filters, Champion Spark Plugs, Holley gaskets and floats, etc., are just some of the premium names used.
This unique "sleeper" car allowed me to cruise on the streets while racing both on the street as well as doing the Quarter Mile drag racing at the track. Throughout the years, the car was always "streetable" as it can run on pump gas, (Super), drive around in the city, sit in traffic without overheating, and go on long distance highway trips. The car at the track did the best times around 11.5 seconds ET Quarter Mile and as I did not want to make the car to look and feel like a full fledged race car, I decided not to put a 6 or 8-point roll bar. At Sanair Raceway as well as Napierville Speedway, if I were to go under 11.5 seconds in the quarter mile, I would have been required to install a 6 point roll bar which destroys the image and uniqueness of a "Sleeper" car. I was also invited to participate in numerous auto shows and exhibitions and won quite a few trophies throughout the years from 1970s till today.
Here are some of the cars and friends that rode with me from drag racing, car shows, exhibitions, and street racing!
