Jim Murphy, the one who’s won the March Meet 4 times, is selling his entire Nostalgia Top Fuel Dragster operation. This is not the car he lost first round with at the 2014 March Meet, but rather the familiar green beast with the red and white stripe. This car hauls ass, thanks to Beebe and a host of other helpers, and we would sure love a ride behind the tiller in this bad boy. This car is complete, and includes a ton of spares, and notes, and tuneup, etc. And, if you need more help than the notebook can provide, Murphy’s offering tuning help as well. I’m sure there is a price on that, but who cares. If you have the scratch to buy this sucker, you can afford a little crew chief help too.
At $110,000 we think this is probably a pretty good deal. I don’t know how you would build it for less, and not with the level of parts this one has. And again, it comes with the notebook. That’s invaluable. I’m not a fan of green, but if you are and have your heart set on buying this sucker, we’ll slap the BangShift logo on the side and I’ll be happy to be your driver.
Longtime BangShifter Ronnie Mankins is helping sell the dragster for Murphy and the gang, so if you are interested hit him up via the contact information at the bottom of the page. And if you are in the market for race cars, parts, Toterhomes, Trailers, etc., Ronnie is your guy. He’s got decades of experience in the industry and is one of the most fair guys we know. Give him a call and tell him Chad and Brian at BangShift sent you.

Nostalgia Top Fuel, boxes and boxes of spare motor parts to scatter across the finish lines of Drag Racing America.
That is a nice package with everything to be competitive in the class. You’d be double that for a new car that has not been sorted out.
By the looks of the last Bakersfield March Meet the class is rising in popularity. I bet this car would be right in the running for a championship.
80 new pistons! That will keep the piston Gods happy for a few meets…
