Rarest Drag car ever made......

Floyd Staggs · 07-02-2010, 07:09 AM

I raced the first AC Cobra, driven by Gas Rhonda, in late '62 or early '63, in my '63 Corvette. It was a publicity shoot for Ford at Pomona. He beat me that day and everytime after. My 3000 lb 327 was no match for his 1800 lb 289.
Just a little trivia.

I wonder what that 66' 427 Dragonsnake cost back then.
The 65' A/FX 427 SOHC Mustangs were about $11,000.

All the car's cost figures, including drag race modification costs done at Shelby, and single truck shipping of the 427 Dragonsnake to Harr Ford in central Ma. are mentioned in the packautomotivemuseum.com website article. WJ
