History Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.

Great shot!I've never seen a photo of McCroans Mustang,I'm guessing buy the looks of the Hemi the Belvedere got parted out.

 

This was taken at our local track, Connecticut Dragway! Way cool!!

 

The car reminds me of Paula Murphey's STP Mustang

 

The Mustang is The Tonti Metal Craft Mustang. I was in the tower at KCIR during its last run. The Trans blew-up at the finish line and it hit a light pole. the driver was Ron Umbach. I had a small peace of the body but I gave it away. 1970 http://www.70sfunnycars.com/FunnyCars16.html

Thanks for the post. A clean photo of the car.

 

The Willys P/U belonged to Gene Conway. He sold it in 1966 to make way for the more famous MGM Austin P/U. The Willys ended up in the hands of Gene Hicks and Son, who raced, with a shortened bed, in local So-Cal AA/GS circuit until late 68. It then went out East to Paul Day who ran it in BB/GS until crashing it shortly after 69 Indy meet. Day won class at Indy in the truck, besting nearly 12 other BB/GS cars! Ironically, directly above this post is a color shot of 2 Anglias staging at Lions. In the far lane is the very Anglia that Hicks ran to replace this very Willys P/U.
