Dwight Cox (Arkansas) won Indy in '74 with a 66(I think) Impala 2dr/283/4sp in SS/R.
Always a great local race was Dwight and Jack Mullins !
The RPM on THAT starting line was crazy!!
What a great era in drag racing?????

Isn't this a 1966 Mustang? Grill is all bars. 1965 should be horse in the middle and a single bar on each side. 1966 also had the horse.

Mr. Cyclone Fe,,,

You're the Ford man,,,,,,,

Photo is from 1968, when both the 65' and 66'......289/271 'HiPo' Mustangs were classed in F/Stock.

The site I copied this from stated that Bill Salveta (Owner) was running a 65' 'HiPo Pony'.

If you look closely, it looks like there might have been a 'Horse Medallion' in the grille-center at one time.

The higher Horsepower Corvette's could not run in Stock Class, and had to opt over to the Stock Sports Car Class
