    Did you guys honestly give the nod to Paul Gentilozzi's Mustang rather then Tommy Kendall? And even though the new Mustang for NASCAR is probably gonna be pretty awesome. That thing could hit the track and completely suck for all anyone knows.

    I'm sorry, the funny cars and the new NASCAR don't qualify as mustangs in my eyes, truth is, the very best mustang racecar was the Allan Moffat CocaCola Boss 302

    101 wins from 150 odd starts gives you an idea just how awesome this beast was, the only car to really supersede it was the "superfalcon" of 1970
    So yeah, just cos it ain't an american driver/race combo, doesn't mean it's not awesome

    @CaptMatt15 loves the Zoom-Zoom: nothing is missing, you just added it.

    note the verbiage "Click "Next" to take a trip down Mustang Memory Lane and make sure to drop your favorite racing Mustang in the comments."

    this was by no means an exhaustive list.

    @CaptMatt15 loves the Zoom-Zoom: The paint scheme looks very familiar. Surely the Speed GT Cobra (apparently not based on the Shelby cobra) took it up as a tribute?

    Ben, while Dick Trickle does have one of the greatest names in racing I can find no evidence of him racing in Trans-Am between 1970 and 1973. Did I miss something or did you just want to use the name Dick Trickle in a post?

    @Ben Wojdyla: Great Cotomor Sevis once again.

    But you did cause me to look up and read the complete Trans-Am results from 1970 to 1973, which isn't a bad thing, except maybe for my employer.

    There were some interesting cars in there: Mini, Ford Capri, Pantera, (English) Ford Escort, Triumph Vitesse, Ferrari Dino, ...

    This SCCA Speed GT race car wins quite often. And won this year's championship. I also feel obligated to plug it because it belongs to a local team and local drivers.

    How about Tommy Kendal's Mustang in Trans-Am? Gentilozzi just happened to be the last guy left in the series before it folded (thanks SCCA, you can barely run an amateur series, can ya stop screwing up perfectly good pro series?)

    My now wife wore an orangey-yellow shirt one time into the shop and I quickly referred to it as her Parnelli Jones shirt.

    She laughed and said her shirt was a slightly different shade.

    I married her 18 months later.

    Was it because of Parnelli Jones? Not quite. But it didn't hurt.

    @PotbellyJoe - Wishes for Stars Upon Thars: Awesome. Simply awesome.

    I have a somewhat similar, Mustang related, story... One of the first times I ate out, with my then friend, now current girlfriend, we were sitting at an outdoor cafe. We both heard a demonic exhaust note coming down the street. A lone fox body mustang drove by as we turned to look. We both turned back around and simultaneously said "fucking mustang..."

    We became more than friends not too long after that...

    Ok, yeah, not quite the same thing...

    @Ralph Wiley Is: When you're right, you're right - I stand corrected. Funny, I could've sworn I built a Revell model of a DP flopper Mustang when I was a kid. He and Tom McEwen were my heroes back then.
