Hubert Platt called yesterday to ask me what I did with my 1968 super Stock Mustang that he raced at Pomona and I bought from him in 1969. I had to give him the bad news that in 1975 we started to update it to current NHRA rules by tubbing it. The gas crunch was putting my Dad's used car lot out of business and I left the shell behind my body shop that I was renting when I left. I had no where to take it to and someone smashed the acid dipped fender and we never finished tubbing it. I heard about 30 years ago it was in a junk yard in Bradenton. The reason he was wondering is because Ford is bringing him to the Winternationals to be part of the new Cobra Jet Stocker program at Pomona.
