Not Exactly........
From ChiTownRacing:
Hey guys, for those of you that don't know me, I work at Stealy Performance Machine in East Moline. In November of 04 Jeff Stealy was approached to help with a car for a great kid by the name of Jacob Littrell. Jacob had a vision for his Mustang, but the reality was that he was losing a battle with cancer. All he really wanted was to race his Mustang. As with most projects, this one snowballed. They actually ended up with a different body that was much more rust free. The resulting car is a work of art, a beautiful racecar with the best of everything. Over 30,000 dollars worth of parts was donated by companies with big hearts. Countless hours of time was donated by many people, including many long hours by Jeff.
In March of 2005 Jacob passed away, just weeks before the cars completion. The car is now finished and has made a handful of trips down the quarter mile. To date the car has ran 9.9 @ 134 mph WITHOUT the nitrous. The kit is setup to spray an additional 200 horsepower as it sits. This is a top notch, 9.2x drag car on the spray.
The car is being raffled off right now and you can buy tickets at Stealy Performance Machine or Winners Circle Speed and custom, both in East Moline, IL Otherwise you can contact me on here and we can talk about sending a ticket through the mail. Otherwise feel free to call the shop at 309-792-3333. The car is coming out in MM&FF and I have already been sending tickets all over the country. Tickets cost $100 each, but only 500 will be sold, so the odds of winning this car are great. We have sold about 1/3 of them and the car will be raffled when they are all sold. All proceeds from the raffle are going to Jacobs parents to pay for his medical bills.
