Wow, I have not been on here in forever! I happened to also ^^^^^like this guy, google Jerry Cox Datsun Hallett and thats the only pics that populated. I owned that car (Co-owned) for some time in the late 90's. I bought it directly from Jerry when I worked at Interparts of Tulsa. We gave 1500 for it in 97 and the 1600 was fresh but not in the car. Jerry gave us the car, several sets of spare wheels and tires, the newly built l16, 5 speed trans and and all the knowledge anyone could ever ask for when it came to dimes. There wasnt a a question that couldnt be answered by Jerry. Outside of the car stuff Jerry was one of the coolest guys you could ever know. R.I.P. Jerry Cox.
We raced the car for 2 season's at Hallett near Tulsa, Ok. Right off the trailer with a couple of newb driver's the car was fast and ran in the middle of the pack in the class above us. I had a blast and never had any issues aside from a rocker follower popping off when it was over revved once. I love that car.
I added the sidedrafts and the rear gears, which should be 3:90. I also took it to the midnight drags in Tulsa and in its road race ready trim it ran solid 15's all day. I have no clue what was in the engine as I never questioned the power this thing made. I would KILL to have that car back....
I wont go into much detail but will say I was screwed royally out of that car by the owner's son at Interparts. The l20 and another body were all kept from me and hidden and since the car didnt have a title there wasnt anything I could do. But, ce la vie`.
Here's the only pics I have of the car...which includes my ugly mug standing next to it at a Darryl Starbird show in which I trophied!
Btw,....Im baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
