dose it have a mustang II body?

 

History

No this has the dodge avenger body

 

Do you mean 1996 instead of 1976?

 

Date

Yes very sorry clicked on wrong date
1996
thanks

 

pretty sure manzo used that car for both 96 and 97 he ran the table in 97. So I would try to get a hold of any national dragsters from that year

 

Pics

i have a ton of pics of that car in 96 and 97 i worked on that car almost every race those 2 years i will have to go to Parents and dig em out... lety me see what i can find will let you know

This is mostly correct.1996 and 1997 were two different cars.However,1997 car burned to the ground at Lebanon Valley so he finished 97 with the 96 car.By the way, he did not run the table but came close with 4 National wins and 5 divisional.

History

Thanks very much for your help
i would have thought that there would be more information on the net about frank, but it looks very quiet, not a lot of information around,
it doesnt help being in the uk
cheers guys keep looking and please let me know
thanks

 

that's because most racers - especially those in division 1 - do what they can to keep Frank out of their thoughts.
