This car IIRC was built up using a new shell from Ford [ The one they sent out from UK for local assy jig checking]. Motor was stroked 325 ci Ford that originated from the Red Dawson Mustang, when Clyde changed to the chev engine this motor [ the ford] was then sold to Frank Ryan for the Capri that he had built up in Invercargill by Bryan Taylor. Guy in pic with Clyde is Marty Westrynk, car was sold to Bellis, John Beattie, then Steve Vigurs
