Never could figure out why Ford didn't take that idea and run with it... the concept was awesome...
Car ran B/FX. Most people think that was only a small block class but it was not. Car was very fast and won several times.Ford wanted to go Mustang racing to promote the Stang to the " younger generation " and thought the Fairlane not the product to do it with. By 66 you had the long nose Mustang running aroud. Droke had one to, sponsored by Downey Ford
