Outstanding!! Thank you
 
Yeah saw this over on VWVortex. Cool video!
 
You're welcome. It was great to see some American Muscle kicking some A**!
 
Smokin' ride, Amurrican iron at the 'ring! I guess the Holman Moody "upgrade" must of included some pretty hellacious upgrade for brakes - well beyond the 4 drum setup!!
 
Fun Stuff! Big HP and a well driven racecar.

There is a large number of American big bore vintage races in Europe. And they race very hard. I'm pretty sure this is the same Ford that races in the Vintage 24 hour of Le Mans, along with quite a few mid-60's Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaro's and Dodge Charger's. Always a fan favorite.

Thanks for posting this vid.
 
Is that ride KOOL, or WHAT!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup :banana:banana:banana
 
WOW!

The driver said in the comments that he gets up to 166mph on the uphill straightaway and makes the circuit in 8mins 10 seconds. :eek
 
I see the thunderbird emblem on the fender. Do you think the car has a 390, possibly a 406? Doubtful it's a 427 and unlikely a 289 with the bird moniker on it.
 
With all the all aluminum FE options out there today, why not a stroked side oiler?

Emblems be darned, I'd bet the farm it's 427 based.

(It would be if it were MY car!)
 
I got so excited watching this.............next time someone please warn me & I'll put a condom on B/4 viewing.
