The Factory Experimental Cars

[Charlie A]

Really wish this would quit before the moderator locks this otherwise great thread.

There are probably more stories about these cars than there are cars themselves.




From this to the Funny car team of today, TASCA Ford has been around for a long time in the sport.

Just glad these cars still exist no matter the fact or fiction about how they survived.

Well the fact that that car was in a junkyard in middle belt in Detorit and was bought in 1974 by a guy named Mike Spinazla and another car was sitting in the same yard it was called firebrewed and he bought both cars ,so Spinazla saved them and he sold them to Rick Samul who held onto the car until 1985 and sold it, hey wasn't you and me who killed the Kennedy's

Right on it's about the cars not the personalities or lack there of.
My favorite AFX car ever and was just about unbeatable on gas. Phil Bonner has told me this car was crushed when he turned it in for his longnose Mustang. Ford didn't want the liability of anyone else possibly getting hurt in it.

Love to see the look on John Force's face after he did a full on run in this.....if he had the ####'s to even do it!

The guys(and gals) that drove this stuff back in the day didn't need drugs to get a "buzz". Cannot imagine what that was like!
