Re: Old drag photos

Tuff looking. Great action shots. Like the notch back vs fast back.

Re: Old drag photos

The other car is a 1966 Fairlane coupe.

Avenger paint scheme?

Re: Old drag photos

Thanks for sharing. I see you are still in NB. My family is up in Centreville and I went to UNB. Only kid with a 68 Mustang in the High School parking lot in the early 80's. The Shelby vert is groovy man

Re: Old drag photos

Kerry, you're a long way from home. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] I'm assuming you grew up in Centreville area, so do you know Donnie Piper? Big time Chevelle lover, and his brother had a 68 hemi RR. (2 were sold in Centreville around the same time.)

Barry
PS- it's going down to -3F tonight.

Barry I sure did know Donnie a lot older than me though. Another one was Ceril Giberson. He had a Plum Hemi RR. Yes grew up in the big village of Centreville lol. Came to the US with Caterpillar in 89. I have a business also called The Cobra Jet Den.

Re: Old drag photos

So you're a Cobra Jet expert, yes? I'm going to look at a 69 428 CJ Mustang next weekend. Where are the rust issues on these cars? Any particular things I should be looking for? ( I'm pretty much a GM guy. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Yes, I recognize the name Cyril Giberson, although I've never met him.

Re: Old drag photos

They are unibody as you likely know. Fender apron tops at the shock towers, torque boxes, and rear frame rails at the front leaf area are prone. Everything is cheap except the labor lol. Send me an email and I can help with the numbers stuff.

Re: Old drag photos

Neat, is that a Pontiac GT 37 in the back ground?

Re: Old drag photos

No, it's a Judge. ( Look on Pg. 2)

Re: Old drag photos

Another shot of Richard Charboneau's Ford. He went on to race this wagon and was one of the winningest Fords in his class for many years.

Another well known Ford owned by Clyde Birch.

Another well known and winning Ford owned and raced by Dave young from 1971-1986. Really exciting to watch this car run and very tough to beat.

man..i just love those notch back cobras....i want one...
