Nitro 9..........Glidden, Turnage, Holbrook, and Donnie Moore have all piloted that car. That's alot of history for one car. The last time I saw it, it still had "Instant Action" on the side.

Calvert gets my vote too. He is also one of the nicest guys I have ever had an opportunity to talk to as well!

Who's that??

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
Red Le Blanc should be in the running. Seems he's held a record or two. You should compile a list, narrow it down to 10 cars/drivers then do a poll.

DanGrippo 10-21-2010 10:17 AM

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
I would add these to the list:

Jerry Dick's '68 CJ
Calvert's '68 CJ
Everett Hill's FoMoGo '64
Mark Tallent/Don Keen '64
Ray Scardelli '64 Conv.
Poole/Elliot '69 Coupe
Kip Martin '64

Don't know but I remember he had a cute girl with him.

Seeing that we're Canadian eh, I would say Barrie Poole and Sandy Elliott's Cobra Jet Mustangs.

Venice and Dave, pipe in here any time now..... Johnny U. you were still in diapers then....

It would be hard to beat our old Saleen mustang 9.38 @ 147 (in 1994) at 2950 pounds and still using the clutch on all shifts. No telling how fast one would go today with a clutchless.. Oner of those cars in GT/A should go 860's. With the new parts approved it should have a longer fuse... haha

..considering, there's a certain GT/A car from TN, that was the first in the 8s, I'd have to vote for him...:D

Al Joniec - 1968 Mustang wins first time out for the 428CJ's at Pomona 1968.

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
you also have to throw in Jeff Colvert, I think he was the first 9sec SS/G car

Let's not forget about the elder Leblanc, this car has set many, many records!!!!

Jeff Colvert 10-21-2010 06:13 PM

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
As I tend to judge cars by there performance not how good the drivers are or there winning records I'll throw my vote for Shawn LeBlancs' awsom 8.98 pass GT/A ride.
I also like Jeff Veldes red 68 and John Turleys SS/F 69 back in the late 70's.
There is another Bad ***** 69 around but like everyone else I can't remember who it is.

Jeff Colvert
SS/G 4456

Rich Biebel 10-21-2010 06:28 PM

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
Barrie Poole......John Elliot........Cool paint.....good drivers ..... 4 speed Cobra jets....and they won some races back in the old days in my area........

Jim Morgan, I believe Blair Patrick has his car now

Don't forget some of the early Mustangs that came out of the Bob Tasca Ford stables on the east coast---E. Providence, R.I..... WJ

Gene Turnage Nitro 9 Mustang.

Red Leblanc! I grew up watching him run his stick car at the divisionals. I'll never forget that beautiful Red Stang.

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
This is most likely the worst possible picture of the car, but it's an old "Instant Aciton" car. This car could be a 100 point show car while making bottom 9 passes.

EH??.....oh yeah those boys from Chatham really put us on the map back in the '70's. I find it tough to separate the "best" from my "favorite".

Is the best car the most successful in terms of wins or do we vote for the car with the longest history?

Jeff Colvert 10-22-2010 02:04 PM

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
In my way of thinking the best has always been the quickest and fastest. The driver makes it successful as far as win/ loss record.

Jeff Colvert SS/G 4456
9.42 @ 140.83 2700'

MIKE,

What on earth would make you think I know anything about Mustangs in SS?


I am hardly able to pick one, they were all neat to me. The first mustang that ever made an impression on me was in 1965 or 1966 a local yokel who drove a dump truck bought one, I was 5 or 6 years old, I remember it was white and I think had a pony interior, this fella Dave ( I think) tore up and down Cedar Springs Rd.(Dick you know where that road is?) all night, actually all summer. My parents were livid and I was hooked, later on in grade 3 I saw a Car Craft magazine it had a 1969 Funny Car on the cover ( Mickey Thompsons Mustang?). The slicks, the flames, the chute, I gotta drive one of those I thought. I begged the teacher (library every thursday) to let me take that book out instead of what we were supposed to sign out, my persistance paid off. I got that magazine and read it until the pages were worn out, remember the Bird automotive T bucket adds? Anyhow all those mustangs were cool and they all contributed to my sickness.........

LMAO,

Ferstl, just look at this....you may as well have opened Pandora's box!

Ven....blah,blah,blah - pick one already!

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
Richard Allen just went 9.38 @ 141+ yesterday. Same car he ran back in the '70's.....................his car may have the best chassis of all the 68-70's.

Ye old coffee hound,

I thought you might comment on some Buicks or Edsels but thanks for the outpouring of affection FOR THE BLUE OVAL

Dave,

I didn't think he was going to get all gushy on us. I had to get my kleenex box out.

Ken McKellen's SS/G 428 notchback. He had a great big bag of purple bubble gum he'd share with us.:rolleyes:

Nitro Joe Jackson 11-02-2010 11:46 AM

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
gosh people this is like a election, there is so many great mustangs from the days, Velde's SS/F, Rich Allen's car, Denysenko's, Calverts, Colvert's ect, ect, ect.

Honestly I myself could not pick a all time favorite cause they are all great to me.

Rusty Gillis 11-02-2010 03:29 PM

Re: Best Mustang Super Stock-All Time?
 
Ken McLellan's SS/G Cobrastang. I believe he was the record holder from 1969 until he quit racing and I bought his car in 1973. He did not believe in a line lock used a stick to hold the brake pedal. Always won class and won the World Finals in 1971. Someday I will restore it as raced by Ken.

How about Brian Cour's SS/F '68 1/2 and Marcel Cloutier's SS/GA 68 1/2?
