Re: 1971 Hornet SC/360 Ram Air FOUND
Just barely visible on the passenger side quarter window is Atco Class Winner stickers. I talked to the original owner again today. He ordered this brand new in 1971 at Eggy Rambler in Collingswood, NJ. It took 5 weeks to get. He ordered it with manual brakes, manual steering, SC/360, Go Package (which included ram air, tachometer, etc), Shift Command column shift and bucket seats, bumper guards, and Twin Grip rear end. He later added power steering and air conditioning when he could afford it. One of the first things he said he did was change out the Motorcraft 4300 carburetor with a Holley and added traction bars. Thats all for now.

Re: 1971 Hornet SC/360 Ram Air FOUND
A guy I worked with bought one new. Said it was a very basic car. The tires rubbed from day 1. Fun going staright but would bottom out pretty easily. I'm sure now you could change a few things around to make it a bit more 2012. At any rate a rare car. Good luck with her

Re: 1971 Hornet SC/360 Ram Air FOUND
Something missing here.I remember stockers running 14.6s and a car with dumps and a tune would go 14.30s.My cousin had a 340Cuda 4 speed and it ran in the same class as the SC360.He would be pissed off if one showed up as they usually beat him.I never knew they were that hard to find.
