This is in our shop at the moment for a full restoration. Apparently never made the 70's Nascar scene. It was based on the Ford Torino.????
Cheers.

Very interesting with some great pictures and a listing at the bottom showing all the known vehicles and replicas.
Thanks for posting Xbrit, look forward to seeing more pics of the restoration if possible!

Rich.

The gen is that their were 5 or 6 original nose cones made by Ford and this is the last assembly.
I will post more pictures as the restoration takes place.

Nice one Xbrit

I guess this car is the one mentioned as sold on Ebay ?

Anyone any good with photoshop .... That looks like a Opel GT front morphed with a Aussie Charger rear and stretched.

I saw the yellow one at the Winged Warriors Reunion at Talladega a few years back. It led the parade lap. Got a picture somewhere.
