This Mustang is a factory built race car not sold for public highways and is therefore a factory produced super stocker by every tradition and past example in NHRA history.
But then again I see the "Thunderbolt" 427 / 425 Fairlane is legal for Stock Eliminator. When did that happen? That's another "off highway use" vehicle. But the Hemi Dart / Barracuda & 1969 AMX SS package are still Superstock only classifications.
I'd just like to see some uniformity...
There you go, take Pond's motor put it in a '64 fairlane add high riser heads more compression only +5hp
and take on the new mustangs ...maybe.
