ASK THE FORD ANSWER MEN

[paul-ceasrine]

Dino,
I think the ‘Bunny’ made tracks at Dover with the ‘Super/Stock Show’ Mustang in late 68′?
Could have been their the same time as the Brooklyn contingent ‘Mutt Brothers’.
Not sure she was there with the Funny Car.
I think the bubble-hood 68′ Mustang was an original 4-speed, then it was converted to an ATI-automatic, for easier driving.
Something tells me 10.80’s with the ‘Cotton Pony’, it was not NHRA-legal for S/S or M/P.
Really closer to A/FX trim like 65’/66′.
For you A/MP buffs, Bill Mitchell out of Motion Performance (Baldwin, L.I.) held the record late in 68′ with a 10.98.
in a 68′ Camaro.

You can put that pizza in a Ford 9″ rear to help stop the humming 😆
Paul,,,,,One more Spatula!

[dinoKeymaster]

Paulie Giada does a great job serving up the melons ❗ ❗ …..Chopped is good too.

[paul-ceasrine]

DINO,
Those are Dual-Carbed Melons 😯 😯
They have been re-jetted, the needles polished and handled very carefully. 😮
And the Cameraman should get a Dover Class Trophy, for those beautiful angles.
PC,,,Happy Melon Handling

[dinoKeymaster]

Ford Answer men??? oh well heres a great recipe Paul..

then we’ll get back to cars…maybe she owns a Ford ?

[paul-ceasrine]

DINO,
Thank you for that Giada Talking Birthday Card 😮
She also handles that 12″ long rolling pin with precise and caring accuracy!!!
I think she would be classed in ‘Perky Stock’
I bet she drives a 67” Ford Fairlane 427/425HP Super Stock too!!,,,Radio delete 😆
Paul,,,,,,,see you on the Food Network, ‘Everyday Italian’

Interesting video!

Now another “hard” Ford question. How can I figure out who the original selling dealer of my 1965 Mustang from Huntington Beach, CA was?

❓

[vindicatorParticipant]

😀 😀 😀 Hey “Mongo”…if…she’s still on the planet…try Lois Eminger….po box 220…Dearborn,Michigan…48121…she had/has all the original window labels (just give your vin #)…with original dealership/ship/address…it’s been awhile…since I’ve been in contact with her…but back in the “day”…she was awesome with that stuff! 😀 😀 😀 Drake

[bossguy]

Drakester, I guess it has been awhile. I’m pretty sure Lois Emminger passed away a couple of years ago. People now get them from Marti reports or marti.com. He’s a ford licensed vendor.

[vindicatorParticipant]

😀 😀 😀 Hey Jack…time does fly…when you’re havin’ fun ‘eh 😆 😆 😆 believe some member/s of Lois’s family…still “do” what they “do”…Marti report…oh yeah…very Barrette-Jackson…of you “Hoss”…ya’ mean “cats” ain’t drivin’ down/up…the highways & by-ways of life…in their stromberg carbed “flattie”…no mo’???!!!*** 😆 😆 😆 …guess I gotta’ put away the “white bucks”/ black engineer boots…turn my collar down…stop singin…”Heartbreak Hotel”…’eh…gotta’…get…up…to “Speed”…ain’t ever..givin’ up my “Buster Poindexter”…pompador or my “Big” Dan Ingram…”Ki-mo-sa-bee” card…though…:lol: 😆 😆 throw out the 78’s,33-1/3’s,45’s…”reverbarator” for my am radio…8 track tapes too 😆 😆 😆 Drake…ps…what’s up…(today’s…current “events”)…with ol’ Al Gore????….aint’t this da’ guy…that “invented” the internet???!!!*** 😆 😆 😆 …global warming???!!!***…say it ain’t so…”Tipper” 😆 😆 :lol:…Nobel Peace Prize (can ya’…just…believe it?…”Bunky”)…too…now just another “All Star”…who burped his worm…(yet…another saved “garment”…as “proof”)…in a a world of “All Stars” 😆 😆 😆 …’eh…but then again…didn’t “Willie” Clinton…”define” the difference between in-appropriate in “nature”…but not “sexual” in context???!!!*** 😆 😆 😆 it’s…a mad…mad… world…”Hoss” 😆 😆 :lol:…and it “only” cost the taxpayers some 92 million…for the Ken Starr investigation…for the “definition” 😆 😆 😆

DJ DRAKE,
I’ll never throw out my 45rpm single of ‘Psychotic Reaction’ first edition by ‘The Count Five’
It still has some grooves left in the vinyl 😎
Kind of like old slicks 😆 Maybe not good for the track, but great in rolling down the hill at the back of the old Mahopac
Drive-In, into the parked cars watching the outdoor movies on the ‘Big Screen”
PC,,Duck, a rolling M & H.
