Had ‘two’ Dino. New 1970 Mustang ‘BOSS’ 302,dealership sponsored G/S,and in 1975,a 1966 Ford Fairlane 2dr H.T. replaced the 289 to a 390 4bbl. C6 trans. 9 in.posi rear.ran the 3X class.Working at the dealership for 42 years,the ‘boss’ was happy to see us run a Ford,instead of our usual ‘Chevy’ powered drag cars.Hey,either way,there ‘American’ made,right? That’s all that counts!
