Customs Images of tri-five Ford's...

  1. Bob Johnson was a big hitter at US 13 in Delaware. Strange that the car is so clean in that environment ;-)

    Yeah, staged photo.
    A good friend of mine owned this car for a time, so I have been around it some. It's cool and has a good near survivor visual history.

    So it would have been an e-code? Thanks for the pic….

    Still has the paint dividers on it, so at one time it was a two tone car.

    It was either a 292 or 312. we never checked it for sure. It did have a FORD dual t-pot set-up, but It was not a factory E-model. It also at one time had twin MCollogh(sp) blowers on it, although we were not sure they were confirmed to ever be fully operable.
    I would still like to have it.

    Fabricated a Y off the s/c to feed both carbs. Pretty cool setup but it wouldn’t be making near the boost of the single carb version. A lot going on under the hood with the fans and all too.Definitely drag strip worthy, I love it!

    No Ford code for that one. To me an EF:rolleyes:. There is a yellow and white 57 Victoria seen on the show circuit with that combination also…
