The Steve Twist Collection - Part 5

I noticed the exhaust hanging low in the photos , did not realise it was 8 into one, my sympathies to to the guy that fabricated that setup

From memory ,when John Sheppard worked on the Geoghegan Mustang ,he had Bo Seton.build the eight into one system ,I believe Bo possibly built one for the Bryan Thompson Mustang also at a later date ,but as usual with the passing of time I can stand to be corrected

Thats what I thought too Bob, that Geoghegan ran an 8-1 exhaust on that car that exited in a nice chrome mage-phone just beneath the front of the door on the passenger side. Geoghegan also ran a full length exhaust that exited out the rear just briefly too. Both systems were quite different to that pictured above. When Coppins raced the car in the '67 ATCC he still had the short chrome pipe.

John Riley commented on the engine note also on this car in an interview. He also said it was a lovely sounding car.
