Correct. Here's the story. I went to Mecum Kissimmee 2017 to sell our 69 Mach 1 R code car we had just restored. As I'm walking around looking for other Mustangs I see this 68 and as I get closer I'm like that looks just like my uncle's car. It had Ed Martin Ford painted on the doors and the signage on the windows said Bob Glidden. I walk up and look inside and walk around the car to investigate. I always knew every race car my uncle built he always put the engine size on the odometer. I look and there it is "428". His car had hood pins, it had hood pins, he flared the fenders a certain way, there were other clues also, I knew this car, I grew up with this car. I tried to find the owner to talk to him, but never did.
