Well I read something like that as to why this combo became popular for a while.

Pontiac should have followed through and offered the 8 Lug Wheels on the 1966 GTO. One year only option as 1967 would see the intro of front disc brakes.

We should count ourselves lucky that the Meg went extinct 3/4 million years ago. It liked warm shallow seas. It might have ate the Bahamas! :grin:

I was getting ready to say the same thing. I THINK it is just not adjusted correctly.

When it pops open to the safety latch, it is up higher than that.

Boss 302 Prototype. One of three I am aware of. This one built by Kar Kraft, the white one Larry Shinoda built and the yellow one used in the brochure.

ASC showed Ford they could put a sunroof in a Mustang - never available as a factory option

This is either the car Ford showed NASCAR to try to get the SOC 427 in or it's a tribute/clone. NASCAR said OK . . . but there would be a 400 pound added weight penalty. Ford canned the idea.

Or it's corollary: "Win on Sunday, get a lead trophy in the mail on Wednesday".

Here's the yellow prototype. Interesting that though you can't see it from these photos, it has a red interior - not available with the yellow exterior.

I love these particular photos because it's really hard to tell if they are vintage or new (vintage, I assume, based on the cars in the street and the guy in the window of the building in the first photo).

There are many buildings and old shops in the metro Detroit area and surrounding suburbs that still look just like that.
