WJ,
Isn't Checkers a board-game that is played with black and red discs??? That Checker that raced at Dover was a legal Taxi, equipped with the mileage-meter and roof lights.. ..Wonder if he activated the meter when racing. What was the travel-cost back then,,, .35 cents for the first quarter-mile... I bet that car is still running... I never saw anybody kill those things....Launched like a Moose with that 3.09 first gear....
Mercury Cyclone,,,In 66', I think the 427/410 1x4 was called 'Cyclone 427',,, and the 427/425 2x4 was called the 'Cyclone 427 Super'.. ..I believe Billy Lagana of Mt. Kisco, New York (Ford match-racer) ran one. The 410HP ran in A/S and the 425HP ran in SS/B in 67'. Really a nice option for $1129 over the base price.
Paul,,,,Duck, another parachutist.
