Thanks kevin for the details and great stories.
Ford did run the 396 c.i. configuration in early '67 with the Fairlane due to NASCAR rules that limited Ford to 400-under with the F'lane/Comet body. Can't remember the details. It just seems it was another attempt to keep Ford from dominating. But I do know that those 396/427 Fairlanes were way closer to "real" automobiles compared to the rear wheel drive/351W powered plastic fantastics being passed off as "stock" cars of today. And of course the rear drive Montes/Grand Prixs, etc.
Can you tell me what stock car FoMoCo offers today running anything close to a 351W? Think back to '61 and what it would be like to see a '61 Ford screaming around the tracks with a flathead Merc! Crazy huh? And a two door rear drive Viagra Taurus is any different?
Thanks again kevin. E-mail me and I'll send you a couple of shots of those Jahns Slugs. |
