Hell yeah guys, the comanche was finally mentioned on Jalopnik in a good light! Won the #8 spot on Answers of the Day for Top Ten Most Badass Racing Trucks of all time.

 

I've always wanted to build a reproduction SCCA racer 'Manche but does anyone actually know what was in them?

 

They were used in the SCCA racetruck series in 86 and 87, so that means if they used the sames trucks in 87 as in 86 that they were all longbeds. I'd assume 2wd. I can't imagine that they actually won anything with that 2.8L or 2.5L in them, and definitely not with the itty bitty smoke machine. If anyone has any information on these I'm sure everyone has been curious about them at one point or another.

the SCCA MJs had the 2.5l in them (there was an engine size restriction) and the Archer brothers absolutely DOMINATED the competition, frequently coming into 1-2 in races. :bowdown: comanche.gif
