Is that Jerry Pruitts SS/GT Mustang?If so, I haven`t seen the car (or Jerry) in a number of years, I think he only ran it a couple of years. He used to run the 352 and 4 speed in a big 64 Ford Custom 2 door sedan.I`ll never forget watching that big tank grabbing 2nd gear about 20 feet from the starting line.

Last I heard of Jerry he was the sales manager for Steven Hahns VW audi dealership. He got married for the 3 or 4 time wife put the stop to car. He was having rocker problems with the old 352. If had spent half as much time working on the car as trying to get dual quad setup legalized the car might have worked

Rory, I talked to the owner a few months ago. It was for sale then, likely it still is. If I looked hard enough I could probably find a phone #.

Rory, You are correct. JP might want to sell the car. As you can imagine it needs new belts and the other time sensitive NHRA mandated stuff.
