The class winner at the 1967 or 1968 (can't recall which) US Nationals in C/SA was a WHITE 1957 blown Thunderbird, owned by Gail Parsons of Newark, Ohio and driven by Dave Edmonds. Gail and Dave also raced a 1957 Ford sedan for one or two seasons prior to the 'Bird. They were on top of things back in those days; like putting the fourth gear in the standard T-10 three speed case which the Ford came with. I can't remember the outcome of this but do recall the effort as the rules did state only the use of the original case; so what ever you could get in there...ingenuity, some things never change.
