This car was parked next to me in Gainesville and it's very nice as is the owner Dick Lux. The car is SS/M with a 289 , He bought the car 7 or 8 years ago from a long time NHRA racer . From what he told me the cars has raced NHRA for a very long time with at least 4 or 5 owners . He stated he had the 427 engine for the car but because of health reason he ran the 289 .

I dont think he is bogus nor is the car . He just a guy that loves God , Fords and Racing and I thought was a true gentleman . I think he also celebrated his birthday at the track racing and he seemed to have a lot of other racers and friends enjoying it with him .

The hood on this car is fine , no one at the races had a complaint lets leave it at that .

Oh by the way he is a older man banging a 4 speed and doing a great job of it . If you dont race the event stay out of it , if it really bother you show up and protest it . My bet is if you do the car will pass and you will look like a A** . I have seen this car at a lot of D1 and D2 races as well as national events
