    there is a nice picture of danny millers nostalgia maverick funny car on page 34 of the march 23rd issue of national dragster. says it has a 454 cu in engine, lencodrive 2 speed tranny, and a 6-71 supercharger. sure looks neat.:burnout:

    I have a Sept 71 Hot Rod magazine listed on eBay Item number: 320097162010 that has Danny's original Plastic Fantastic Maverick. I'll scan it tonight and post it.
