Yes it is a 70 Maverick. It has a roller block 302... I left right behind him. Holy crap that thing is MEAN.

 

There were 6 total. I only think I had 4 in the video. One was a 2012 GT that left about 10 minutes after he got there, and the other was a 2005 that left to get dinner while my daughter was filming for me. It was 42 degrees, so I think the cold scared some people off. PLUS, we also all found out there was a Cars & Coffee at the exact same time down at the track. Had we known, that would have been where we were at. Oh well.

Good guess, but no. You're thinking along the right lines though.

 

I guess I'll go with Lambo.

 

The black car looks like a De Tomaso Mangusta.

 

That's it ^^^

 

Close... Noob is closer

 

Got it!! Ford powered.

 

That one totally slipped my mind lol.

 

I can't say I remember ever discussing the car but the Pantera replaced the Mangusta. The car has an interesting history in that a movie, Shelby vs. De Tomaso could be made about it's history. It's even unconfirmed rumor that Tom McEwen named his 60's dragster Mongoose after the Mangusta. The early European version of the car is the most desirable because they had the 289 and ZF transaxle used in first F40's and the imported cars had a 302. There's one in The Henry Ford Museum car collection where all of this is laid out.

 

That's a packed question Brew. First, there was no cold shoulder from me. Not at all. The main reason is I haven't been online. I'm back in Michigan right now and staying at a motel with wi-fi so I'm online for a little while longer. I've spent a lot of time since I was last on line down south and didn't take a computer with me.

At the end of last year White introduced me to an interesting young guy down in Kentucky. He works on heavy equipment but is working to open his own shop and I've been doing what I can to help him out as much as I can and when I can. Although he's done a lot that's notable I'd say the 2 highlights are redesigning Ford supercharger induction for more power and space and his PCM work which includes getting specific 4 cam modular engines to run on 2 cam PCM's although he still has some AC bugs to work out.

After the first of the year I started turning my shop over to him including the Brown and Sharpe Bench Center system so he could start making his own tubular suspensions and frames. I'm in Michigan now because he was here to pick up the last of the shop including my Coyote project truck. I'm not going to get to finish it and he has some good ideas\plans for it and can do a lot with the project.

Sometime later this week I will be offline again and heading out. First back to Kentucky and then with nothing set in stone I think I'm headed for the Carlsbad area of New Mexico to find someplace to settle down and this pretty much sums it all up.
