Some more history for you guys. This pic was taken at Milan Michigan in 1970. Barney Oldfield in the Missile Cuda taking on the Preperation H Ford Mavrick of Tom Schumaker. Here's the deal. The Maverick is powered by a 300 inch inline Ford 6 cyl. Out of Jack Roush shop in Lithonia Michigan. They took two Boss 302 heads & cut & welded them to work on the Ford 6. Clearly an experiment to see if the lighter car could run with the big Hemi car. It couldn't , but you got to love the ingenuity.

I just love the rake on these cars. I was young when they were running and it left a permanent mark.
