No, I don't think so. The hardtop went from S&M to Buckeye & Vernon and that was it. I don't recognize this car.

Knew Buckeye and Vernon bought both the hardtop and sedan.
Just wondering what this one was. Maybe just tryin' to be a look-a-like Sox and Martin car.
Lots of similarites to the real one if you look.

So what are you trying to say mr belvedere that mike guffey didnt find the car someone else found it and saved it from being scrapped so mike guffey could find it in a barn years later and take all the credit for saving it from the crusher that sounds a little far fetched to me sounds like theres a conspiracy maybe you can tell us who killed kennedy next.

Really wish this would quit before the moderator locks this otherwise great thread.

There are probably more stories about these cars than there are cars themselves.




From this to the Funny car team of today, TASCA Ford has been around for a long time in the sport.
