Does anyone remember a 68 Ford Country Squire called the "Jolly Green Giant"?. It used to really wind up a crowd to watch this tank get to half track and then see if some COPO/Hemi/FE combo could reel it in. It was some 352/390 combo that must have put it in, like, triple Z automatic....................

The Jolly Green Giant was Frank and Opie Moores 351 powered wagon. They had a wood grained Counry Squire wagon that was most sucessful also and won several IHRA national event and was world Champ one year. He drove the squire wagon from NC to Lakeland Florida one year, changed the rear pumpkin to racing gears and won the event. This was back in the mid to early 70's. He raced a 194 inch 6 cylinder Chev 2 with a P/G after that then kind of disappeared from the planet.
