I've seen many many pictures of that car but never knew it still existed. I'l have to read more tomorrow as it is late but that car was built by the Wood Brothers and driven by David Pearson in the same era when he driving the Montego Gt for them in Grand National.
Nice find!!! I'd love to have a closer look at that car in person some day. ------------- Ian Glyn-Jones Fonthill, Ontario, Canada Wish I had My Baby Back Montego GT Registry Forum; http://mmgt.forumchitchat.com/ |

 I recall this car was auctioned a few years back. This car is also why I found out details on the Truxmore Torino   -------------  Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |

I have a bunch of pics of 72-79 Ford/Mercury Intermediate stock cars on my harddrive so rather than start a new thread, I'll just add them to this one. Anyone else who has some, feel free to join in!

I agree but unfortunately I know nothing about the photo. I do know that Sr drove the Cardinal Tractor Gran Torino seen here:
 Here's the story of the 96 car:

A google search of Dave Dion led me to the following website:

A really great place to waste a bunch of time looking at photos of 70s era stock cars!
