This is kind of an obscure request...I was wondering, as the heading suggests, if anyone here had seen the Ford Drag Team in all of its glory in 1969. Ya see, I have decided to undertake the construction of the East coast version of the team: C series hauler, open trailer and the 2 cars--the 428 Torino and the 427 SOHC Mustang. I have thoroughly researched this build and believe that I have found every "Official" photo out there. This is an inquiry regarding private photos--specifically REFERENCE-type shots of what's behind the doors of the hauler and---if I'm extremely lucky---what's inside the box on the trailer. I have seen the shot of the WEST coast truck and the display boards of parts for the performance clinics, as well as the Onan generator and large tool box for hand tools (Both are already built and ready for paint). I've opened all of the compartments on the hauler and have built the trailer box with opening doors, so I would like to fill it with appropriate materials such as spare parts, jacks, stands, lubricants, etc, etc. I am aware of the basics needed to travel and race, but this team was factory supported and held performance clinics at dealerships, so the contents were not just the run-of-the-mill carb strip kits, spare slicks, valve cover gaskets and cans of oil. This is for a contest, so I would like for this to be as comprehensive a build as possible. I am into superdetailing, so I can build whatever I see or is described to me in text.... Sooo..has anyone taken any pictures of this outfit during a trip to the strip in the late 60's? Seeing as Ford yanked the plug on racing in 70-71, the time frame is narrow. Thanks for reading this random request, even though the chances are slim...
