There was a mustang II cobra, destined for the circle track but saved from it fate

In a previous post I said I would start posting more pictures, well 56k internet speed beware.

My usual customer, when It came to stock car work, was a co-worker of my fathers. one day I had dragged a 780 Cubic foot a minute carberator home from college, we were cleaning out the junk shed out back of the college. That same day my father and his co-worker (as previously mentioned) needed to pick something up from my garage. I had that enormous holley perched atop my smaller too box, and when they walked in the salivation commenced. As it were he had a 454 big block chevy that he felt was under-fueled for his race car and that 780 would feed it all day long with no problems. but it would have completely flooded my small block ford 302. I was to prepare a car for him but I hadnt enough room at that moment, as the cobra was where my fathers POS truck was and his truck was in one of the garage bays. about that time I had found a smaller 600 Cfm carberator buried under serveral quadra-junks. now I had a bargaining chip, the 780 holley would be just the ticket to pay for my mustang. after I made my proposal I nearly had t o get a mop and bucket to clean up the drool. Not only was he rid of POS car,but he gained a carberator to fuel his engine.
