Hey it's Quain Stott! Welcome to here.

I don't suppose anybody has any pictures of the Ford Nascar drivers that drag raced in 1966-67 ? Mario Andretti said he and Fred Lorenzen drove AFX Mustangs. I think that was because they had a contract with the manufacturer to race and wouldn't be paid otherwise while the Nascar boycott was on.

 

Ford NASCAR drivers drove drag cars as far back as 1963. Phil Bonner provided a '63 Galaxie and later a '64 Thunderbolt for match races to Fred Lorenzen, Fireball Roberts, among others. These guys among others also drove cars owned by Dick Brannan.

Also, the "Cotton Picker" wagon still survives and is owned by a collector in MD. It is awaiting a full restoration.

Know what I liked best about that issue of R&C? The grill on the T bird. Built one just like it for my '59.

Oh yea Bubba I have been a member on here for 3 years would have been longer I just didn't know how to use the internet I have been collecting old car mags for as long as I can remember. My favorite years are mid 60s to mid 70s but I have as far back as 1948 hot rod. We will talk in Ga.

 

If you have an idea what old magizines (year & month) might have pics I will try and find them in my old stuff. I have the hot rod that shows the build of the Richard Petty 43jr.
