I think this is an unused ad/promotional photo for the 1970 Challenger convertible. It is interesting to note that there is a redline on the front and a whitewall on the back. Last edited by Lee Stewart; 07-13-2019 at 12:09 PM. |

When Ford contracted with Dearborn Steel Tubing to build 100 Thunderbolts in 1964 to run in both Super Stock and A/FX, Mercury also placed an order for 21 Comets which were to run in the A/FX class. S/S only allowed a 7" slick while A/FX allowed a 10" slick, along with high performance parts that the factories sold which were not available on their production cars. Minimum weight was 3000 lbs. A/FX also allowed you to take an engine from one car and put it in another which was not an available combination from the factory - like the 1962 421 SD Tempests that Pontiac had built. The 427 Hi-Riser is a "full tilt boogie" with 14:1 CR and puts out close to 600 HP. How fast? 11.05 ET. Due to the rules of A/FX, you couldn't run the same body style/car the following year so for 1965 Mercury went to Bill Stroppe Engineering and had built a handful of A/FX 427 SOHC Comets. Over 700 HP! ETs in the low 10s |
