Brett Wilson ended up with the twin 4 barrel 428 cobra jet engine and trans in his drag race T-bucket!! As kid i watch this car get built here in Tauranga and Dick Davidson motors just up the road from the parents house fitted the Ex Urquhart Miss Coventry 427 Cammer engine, i always remembered the garage pit in DD motors was full of beer cans, thought that was pretty cool!! said one day im gunna get me one of those fang-dangled Mustang as i pedaled of on my chopper bicycle, LOL

Good info Dale, wow that is cool! I'd heard about the Shelby Mustang that was put on the speedway, but didn't realise this was the one.
