1968 Photo....Classed in F/Stock (10.50 - 10.99 Wt/Hp)

This one, equipped with a Doug Nash prepared engine, and 5.67 Gears. Could run 12.80's @ 111 MPH.

F/Stock NHRA Class Record in June 1968 = 12.72

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.
