Don't have any pictures of it. I also had a dull off green 67 Falcon, automatic with a 170ci 6 cylinder. It ran in Y/SA. That thing was slow! I have told this story before on the forum. I once ran it a local track and the power went out. We ran off a flagman. I spotted a B,C or D car, what seemed to be half the track (and an 1/8 at that). Still lost! That was close to 40 years ago, I can still recall that pass.

There's a guy shows up at RT 66 on occasion with a '72 Comet V/S. 200 and a stick, usually runs mid 14's or so.
