The
Model King's AMT
1965 Ford Falcon "Georgia Shaker".
Falcon
kits are hard to come by, so this was a great idea for a
model reissue. And it's got a bunch of great drag goodies
to boot. You can't really build it stock, because of the
altered wheel base. Still, for a race project, it's fun.
My
brother had a 1965 Falcon, which had a hopped up 289, ladder
bars, and was quite the mover.

Those
Wild Fuel Altereds: Drag Racing in the Sixties - Before
the 1957 ban on running alcohol and nitro fuels the author
ran a very successful Fuel Coupe.After the ban he gave up
and switched to competing in the Supercharged
Gas Coupe class.Before that in 1956 he put together the
Fuel Coupe Invitational at the Santa Ana drag strip. It was
the first drag race eliminator program for any individual,non-dragster
class.It was a big success but the fuel ban was introduced
only a few months later.Although the author had moved on it
was exciting to see the fuel guys come back in the early 1960s.Several
of them were cars that the author had previously raced such
as the Gene Mooneyham '34 coupe.
