It’s official. The Morris is up and running and only the most power hungry adrenaline junkies need apply. She roars like a bat out of hell (does a bat roar?). When you turn the key a deafening, bone shaking, heart stopping, V8 Ford thunders to life. The fans whir, the cylinders fire, a bit of fear touches your heart. She’s nothing to under estimate, this dragster here. Although it been years, since the Morris was a fixture at the drag races, it is back with a vengeance. I’ve had dreams about this car. Specifically, being trapped in an overturned truck as the older dudes whiz by in the Morris while I can only gaze in horror. Another dream has my local policeman friend in the passenger seat as we drive to my local coffee shop. There we are served seared ahi tuna and after drive off into a fierce storm. Yes, this car will enter your dreams too. She’s a beauty. You can’t duplicate the craftsmanship and hard work in this day and age. It would cost a fortune to build this car at today’s prices. I am not saying this is a priceless work of art, but it’s close. I’ve had the Morris long enough to know that my future as a drag racing champion will not materialize. Not because of the car, but because of my own reckless nature. I do not need to own a vehicle with the purpose of hurtling oneself down the quarter mile at speeds unobtainable in 90 % of the automobiles on the street. I need to own an automobile that gets good gas mileage (not). The car runs and drives and attracts a crowd wherever it goes. A big crowd, like the whole coffee shop kinda crowd. She’s a looker and a runner. If you want a car that will raise the hair up on the back of your neck and give you goose bumps on your forearms, look no further. I have a running, driving, crazy, insane, dragster that is dang impressive. It needs some tinkering all around but wouldn’t you want to get familiar with the machine that’s going faster and faster and faster and holy moly I am going way to fast. So yah, I’ve got this for you and it will drive on to a truck and it will come to you. Do you want it? Do you have kids? Are you ready to tinker around a bit before you go crazy fast? Don’t even try to fly in and drive this home. I won’t even show up at the airport, unless you plan to rent a Uhaul and a trailer, then I will pick you up, no problem.

The guys I bought it from were real kick a-s dudes. They used to tear up the town 20 years ago in the Morris. It was a real live street race scene in the 80s. The morris is all wired up for brake light, heads lights, etc. I'm gonna drive it up to the coffee shop. Gotta live the dream! D.
