Default New here, Help Please. Anyone know Phil Glass?

Hello, My name is David Garton. I am a Ford Tech and collect Ford Muscle. Mainly 68 1/2 Cobra Jets. That's what brings me here. I reacently found and purchased a barn find 68 1/2 Cobra Jet first 50 factory drag car. It went to Russ Davis Ford new and then sent to Hollman and Moody for race prep. The car has original paint and was parked in a back yard for 40 years. After getting it home and washing it I found that someone painted over a drivers name Phil Glass, I also have a Bank of America payment book with the original owners name Wes Donald Taylor with some other documents saying Lawrence Donald Taylor. The car was allways in west Covina, Temple city, CA. Here is a link to some photos of the car and engine install. Anyone with knowledge of this car or history would be appreciated. I can be contacted at fordman1524@aol.com or 352-650-1982

Thanks David

David,
Kris Rachford here. You called me about a clutch back in July right before I left to come back over to Afghanistan. Reading the info on your car gives me chills. That is such an awesome find. Good Luck and keep us posted.

David,,,did you contact any magazines before you picked it up? I know Musclecar Review does great stories on different "finds" every month. Yours would seem to be an interesting story, with such a great and rare car. Congratulations on your find. Those '68 CJ Mustangs are so cool,,, and I'm a Chevy guy!
Take care and enjoy your ride.

Danny, Yes it was in Mustang Monthly rare finds May 2011. Jerry Heasley wrote the article. He just contacted me about the Hemmings rare finds article with updated info and pictures.
Thanks, David
