Tell me about "the Ford Corvette".

I was just being sarcastic...

My, my, you guys have taken a thread about one of the greatest pioneers of automotive history, posted by a young man thirsty for knowledge, from the city of morality, and turned it into a sexist lesson of immoral dirogitory terms.    Now Randall you can say, way more info than I expected, thanks for the great post.

In hindsight I think Stan nailed it in his usual understated style, before we even got started...nice one Jim.

You are welcome.

OMG Please don't tell me that none of you have heard of the white 71 Vette with a Boss 429 engine -- YES Boss 9 powered Vette...

... a few old Mustangs (corvettes, Camaros, etc)...

That's a confusing phrase...

I can't believe you've never heard of the Ford Corvette...

When did they run a Mustang with the 4 cam Indy engine?

[Susan10]

Only one I believe I have heard of is the Martini T-5R car. More a what if than a real racer. 

If you have more info on another I would love to hear about it.  The "oddballs" make hot roding great.

I am interested in what Mickey Thompson did in his Mustangs and what Jon Helac did in his because I very much want to bring my 1970 Boss 9 (kk2159) out and run it. Classic records set by the Super Bird (clone superbird apparently) are 238 mph.  I figure a 1000hp 429 can get there even with a Carburetor. I have a period
Holley 1000 cfm 4150 style carb I would like to try it with.  Big Red Camaro is a "flyin Brick" IDK, maybe I can get another "Brick" built by Ford to do the same if I can keep it on the ground and not spin!
