210 body style. Was it really injected? Thought it was 220 HP carb model. I ran Barkley in that car at Indy 1971 for class.

Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
Got to love those old Fords, even my Dad had one. (Never knew)
I wonder if that Jack Gray and Mike Gray are related. |

Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
Any of the 1969 350-255hp Chevies - Bortman, Warren, etc. That engine is still being raced a lot today. So many good racers have used that engine in all body styles and models to create a huge legacy. It would easily rank as one of the top ten developed Stock and Super Stock engines in history.

Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
Bill, I completely agree. I still watch that video at least 2 or 3 times a month, and I enjoy it just as much now as I did that day sitting in the stands at Indy!

Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
It has a 383 in it. I'm not sure about the horsepower rating. At Noble he ran it in K/SA at somewhere around 3800lbs. Pictures don't do it justice. Jim knows how to build a beautiful and fast car.
