My favorite AFX Mustang and a Shelby “driver” back in the day.

Tasca is local to me my buddy works there I’ll have to show him some of this pics.

These are a few other cars local to me as well

[turbo69bird]

Wonder why they called that galaxie the quiet one? Did he run it through the full exhaust or something .or was that more about the driver himself. Interesting car name. At first glance I’d have thought it was an AFX not a jr stocker.


So weird to see a arnie beswick car that’s not a Pontiac. . But he did race other makes . Even a D500-1 in 56

Wonder why they called that galaxie the quiet one?

I think that was a sales tagline for the full size 65 Fords...."The Quiet Ones".

[tom406]

1st generation Thunderbolt hood wasn’t pretty. I don’t think I’ve seen a surviving example, just pics.

Alan Hale and a 65 GT350?

----Looks a lot like a 65 Shelby GT 350. Go captain!....Bill S

Pegasus AFX

----This could be one of the 11 Holman moody 427 Mustang conversions. Bob Hamilton (original owner of Red Alert) bought the 11th one thru Larsen Ford in New Jersey (I think). The SOHC engines weren't ready yet and were delivered to the race teams at a later date. Bobs was called "Long Gone". Many years later it was restored by Boyd Coddington. Don't know where it is today....Bill S

[tom406]

Another Pegasus-with a comment from Al Joniec himself!

Strong wheels are important

Great photo. Like you mentioned, they mostly just cars back then.

Nice mudguards...

Cool picture!!

[tom406]

Some more, including what looks like a freshly lettered 65 GT-350 with a solid look at what OEM 15” KH steel wheels looked like that year.

[tom406]

A few more

[tom406]

River Rouge plant 1965, Shelby Econoline and trailer with ‘66 GT350 10 spokes EVERYWHERE, and a ‘64 Lightweight Galaxie taking on a ‘65 Plymouth.

----The Plymouth pictured was sponsored by Leohr Chrysler-Plymouth about a 1/4 mile from my fathers (now by brothers) house at Chippewa Lake Ohio. There were a lot of high perf Chrysler stuff around that area. Makes me wonder why I am so GM-ish! ....Bill S

Great pic I’d never seen before

Marshall Ford City 427 Hi Riser LWG

[tom406]

Racing Cobras (straight line and w/turns) and Nicholson’s 135 car.

[tom406]

A few more. I like incorporating the side scoop into the Cobra’s mouth:).

[tom406]

Daddy Warbucks vs. Tasca, a matchup done probably dozens of times on these small tracks. Original Owner R code ‘63 Galaxie 2dr Post. Custom 300 had no side trim whatsoever, Galaxie had a single lower side spear trim, Galaxie 500 and XL had two side spears connected in back in a “C”.

[tom406]

This looks like a ‘67 full size Custom 427 car being campaigned out of British Columbia.
