Re: Mustangs
 

here is the Jeff Wittig and Doug Betteral mustang SS/F. they set the record in 1976. I think this an old drag team car they bought from Bill Ireland

Re: Mustangs
 

Check out the thread "Dave Kommel's 70's Photos -Stock - Super Stock"
on the main page. Lots of Mustang pictures from that era

Re: Mustangs
 

Re: Mustangs
 

Haven't seen this one before!

Re: Mustangs
 

The Wittig & Betteral Mustang was on the cover of Super Stock Magazine, special Ford edition, back in the mid 70s. Last time I saw the car, it had been turned into a "Pro Street" car, and was at Bremerton Raceway with a supercharged FE under the hood, in the mid 80s.

Re: Mustangs
 

Super Stock '69 convertibles are so cool.

Re: Mustangs
 

Did Whittig have two Mustangs? Stock & super stock? Post 24 says it is now owned by Rusty Hall. Post 50 says it was a pro street car in the mid 80's.

Re: Mustangs
 

The Mustang owned by Rusty Hall appears to be the Stocker, the Super Stocker was, I believe, owned by Doug Betteral, the S/S car was the one I seen as a Pro Street car in the 80s. Jeff Whittig also built a 68 Mustanng convertible for his brother, Dan. The convert has been owned by Aldon Miller in Idaho for many years.

A very fast "blast from the past" Mustang:

Re: Mustangs
 

A couple from Facebook.

Re: Mustangs
 

The red and white 69 Mustang "Fireball" pictured belonged to Chris Sackett from Vancouver BC Canada. Chris bought the new, it was a yellow factory 428 Cobra Jet 4 speed GT. He turned it into a SS/G car in the early 70s, with 14,000 miles on the odometer. This photo was taken at the original Mission Raceway, likely around 1975 or so. Note the number on the windshield, I seem to recall NHRA used a weird index system for a couple of years at that time,never really understood how it worked or what it was based upon. Anybody remember how that index system worked?

Re: Mustangs
 

1975... A/Dragster was 0.00..everything below that got a fixed spot amount, loosely based on the difference in the records at the closing of 1974 . Flat out, first to finish line, winner.
Car counts suffered greatly..Same cars would win all the time.
1976 then had breakouts back for Divisionals, then by about 77, breakout racing was back in full.
You were allowed to submit one dial under number before the start of eliminations.
Shoe polish racing came to be within a few years after.

Re: Mustangs
 

Thanks Mark, so even Super Stock & Stock indexs were based off the A/D index? Kinda strange, but kinda makes sense now. Thanks

Re: Mustangs
 

Can anyone check the factoring back then - the thing Paul mentions about the 429/375 being factored up to 410hp in 1970 (and beyond?)


Thing is, in 1970, Ford had TWO very different 429/375 engines:
Mustang 429/375 = Boss 429 (near-Hemi)
Torino 429/375 = Super-CJ (canted valve wedge)


I also don't see much history of the 429/375scj in NHRA, if it was factored to 410hp that would explain why.


But was the 410hp applied to the 429boss/375 or the 429SCJ/375?
Or maybe both!?!!??
