PDL Mustang II

Sweet as without the rear wing!

Yes, definitely looks nice without the rear wing. The car only raced for two seasons; 1977 and 1979. In 1977 it didn't have the wing, and didn't have that deep front splitter. The team only added those for the 1979 Open Saloon series in the North Island. It was the cars designer/builder Rick Deihl who pointed this out to me and said if it retains the splitter it should also have the wing.

Raced at Baskerville in 1977 without any rear wing just a spolier as part of the bodywork like above.. Leo Leonard driving, A Photo appears in a calender, for February and January has the Sidchrome Mustang and the Edmonson Charger on the grid

Yes thats correct Roger, Baskerville, Calder, and I think one other Aussie track. Actually, I think it only ran demonstration laps at Baskerville? Bob Stewart sent the car to Australia before the 1977 NZ championship had been completed. Part of the reason was to promote his new childrens construction block company Torro Toys.
