Paul Manders 'Time and Motion' Mustang FunnyCar
PostPosted:Sat Nov 18, 2006 7:57 pm
Paul has very kindly sent me some great pictures of something special he has sitting in his garage...the Time and Motion Mustang Funny Car.
The car looked very nostalgic back then and would fit in perfectly today at any nostalgic funnycar race.
As you see the car still looks stunning today.
The car was first powered by a 426 (ex Firefly I think). The block was later scrapped and replaced with an alloy Keith Black item, The cast iron heads are still in the car, along with the rocker covers and various other bits.
Paul says 'The car was imported from the USA on my behalf by Roy Phelps. It was minus the motor and the shell had been badly burnt in a race fire. Roy took the car to FibreGlass Repairs and made a mould from the damaged body, when I finally collected the car it was fitted with its new body in primer'.
The history of the car is uncertain, Paul never managed to find a number on the chassis. He thinks it may have been a Shirl Greer car.
Maybe someone else could shed some light onto its history?
Thanks again for the pictures Paul.
