Could this be the red one with a Paxton supercharger that Richard Tisdale of Austin,TX owned in the mid 80's? He was collecting the 50 fastest musclecars built. It was a low mile example with an interesting history.

No, it is 6S011 , the first of 4 66 cars. The only one that came as a factory drag unit - the others were dealer prepared. Two were destroyed, one racing and one driving down the freeway - had a minor accident that started a fire, and they let it burn! Then it was bulldozed into a landfill ! The other remaining car has little race history and there are some questions about it.

All of them were white/blue , because they were all "carry over" 65 cars , so basically a 65 GT350 with 66 plexiglass side windows, side scoops, 66 gauges and tach on dash, but with a 65 Ford vin and all 65 GT350 features like over ride traction bars, Cragar wheels, lowered upper a-arms, etc.

The drag cars were pretty cool. I'll try to post a pic!

It's either the same car or one like it that I saw at the Saturday car gathering in Laguna Beach(?)
