papajohn97 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 According to a HAMB reference that was posted in 2012, the silver car was re-painted red: I was interested in more detailed pics of the red car while I was building this silver A/FX model, thinking I might also eventually build a model of the red one. In addition to the photo of the one taken with your Uncle, this is the only other one I could find: Besides the red paint job, looks like he replaced the dual Holleys with Hilborn FI (nearly all the FX/ match racers went that way in ‘65). There is a beautiful tribute car making the rounds in retro drag events in recent years in So. CA, I took a photo of this car at the Hot Rod Mag 70th anniversary event at Pomona in 2018 and saw it again at the Nitro Revival in Irwindale last year: Your Uncle was THE MAN to see about tuning a Ford drag car in the 60’s, such a sad lost to the drag racing world.
