NOS never titled 78 Z1R Turbo was created by mtkawboy
I had a chance to see something amazing yesterday. Back in 78 the local dealer decided to take a new 78 turbo Z1R and make a drag bike out of it. The bike was totally disasymbled, put in boxes, frame powder coated, crank welded, head ported etc. It then set there for the next 35 years when a friend bought it and put it all back together again, Its gorgous. I don't not know how to post a picture but if anyone wants to, email me at wwmtlineman@aol.com and ill send you them for you to post them. Just put turbo in the subject line

You do enough searching you'll find that there were at least 2 still in crates in Canada and I know of 1 personally that is still crated in Indy, sits in a basement/game room of a doctor that has 1 side of the crate opened up to display it. Just like the shelby mustangs. I know of one that has never been titled and or street driven. A 68 GT500 that has been drag raced from day one!!! Originally came out of a dealership in Chicago. Storman Norman Dodges, I used to know where there were 3 crated 440's straight out of his shop. This stuff is out there, keep posting it up if you find it cause I live for these things!!
