Fiberglass Parkette Drag Body(?) Loganville, GA SOLD

September 21, 2024 • CATEGORIES: Features, Racing • TAGS: Bobcat, Drag, Fiberglass, Parkette. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350. This was listed in Loganville, GA, in January of 2024. The price is dropped and is now for sale in Batesville, MS. It looks like the 305 engine was removed, hence the lower price. Thanks to Brad for updating us.

This body appears to be a Parkette style body (with the site swooshes) with a Bobcat type hood, but assembled together as a single drag-like body.

“Has a Ford 9” rear end on it. Pretty heavy so good scrap. I do have a forklift to load on trailer.”
