GT40: An Anglo-American Supercar Classic - In the 1960s, the
Ford Motor Company became a powerful force in international motor
racing - a fact which can be recalled simply enough today, but
when that decade opened, such a state of affairs would have been
almost beyond imagination. Enter the GT40.

- Total
Performers-Ford Drag Racing in the 1960s - The 1960s was arguably
the most important decade for drag racing. It had exciting cars,
thrilling races, and most importantly, factory participation.
Among the best high-performance cars and engines were those coming
from Dearborn, Michigan. Ford Motor Company's "Total Performance
Years" saw a breakthrough as drag racing helped the younger,
performance- and style-conscious consumer to begin receiving some
recognition. Factory participation in drag racing pushed the envelope
for high performance developments. Ford's FE-series engine, Police
Interceptor, GT 390, Single Overhead Cam, Cobra Jet, and Boss
429 are all covered in detail. See the cars and the drivers that
made them famous - Dick Brannan's Goldfinger, Bill Lawton's Mystery
Mustang, "Dyno Don" Nicholson's Eliminator Comet, Gas
Ronda's stretched Mustang, Al Joenic's Batcar, and more. Accomplished
journalist and life-long Ford aficionado Charles Morris takes
you back to the Total Performance Years through first-hand accounts
as well as over 400 rare photographs. A drag racer since
1966, Morris has run cars in both Stock and Super Stock classes.
He is currently the owner of the original Norristown Ford 1963
lightweight Galaxie and races the car in Nostalgia Super Stock
as part of the 422 Motorsports Drag Racing Team. This book is
a must read for all drag racing fans, not just Ford enthusiasts.
