Off[AC, Frua but not Ford]-Topic Torino King Cobra

[cmaddox3]

Howdy gents,
   
   Just spotted this article on NASCAR.com's site about some exceedingly rare NASCAR Prototypes being on display...
   
   
   http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlines/cup/03/23/nascar.prototypes.lowes/index.html
   
   I had heard stories about the 1970 model year FoMoCo NASCAR prototypes, but I don't remember seeing pictures of them before...
   
   Thought I'd pass it along...
   
   Enjoy!

Hi Chuck,thanks for this story, wonderful to see a car correctly kept for 38 years in original condition, I had never seen one of these before, dramatic shape to say the least!

It's one big mother! The rear looks standard!

Larry Shinoda might have designed it. He was Bill Mitchell's "private" designer at
   GM doing the '63 Corvette, etc. but followed Semon "Bunkie" Knudsen over to Ford
   to do Ford high performance cars, among which he did the Boss 302. He quit the day
   Knudsen was fired by Henry Ford II.

I'd expect to be fired if I ever 'designed' a car that looked like that.. :-(
