I'm going to build a drag car but I can't decide if I should build a Capri or Bluebird wagon any suggestions or thoughts?

The Capri I did years ago naturally aspirated so I've got a chassis kit and 9 inch locked diff in the shed.

The Bluebird wagon will just be a copy of one I have engineered ready for rego sitting in a shed.

Capri will appreciate.. The Nissan won't!!

So you think a 9 second Capri will be worth more than a 9 second Bluebird if I wanted to sell it

Hey come on a Capri is CLASSIC Aussie performance..,
Much more pleasurable to the eye also..
Post pics of each so we can vote on each one ??
V8 Capri's sell for $20 to $30k. I cannot see a station wagon Bluebird selling for that !!

Ok both need a lot of work.
The Capri

The Bluebird

The Capri is a classic Aussie performance car thats why I'm not sure I want to power it with a Japanese V8

I thought the capri was pommy

I thought the capri was pommy

It is but it also an aussie drag racing icon.
Capri and Torana are the most common cars at most drag meetings around the country

I would rather a 1UZ in one than a G.M / Gov Ment owned motor..
If it's a concern ?? Fit the Ford 4.6 alloy Cobra in it ??
