Identify this "Mystery Mustang" Funny

Postby Dino » Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:08 am

None of our forum guys can ID original owner OR these "New" Owners positivly ...just guessing. New guys pictured ,it appears, in June 1969,with simple new paint job testing at Dover Drag Strip. Wheel color throwing us off and front spoiler.They don't don't match Grove,Tasca,or Joniac as being former owner.

Danny/Dennis are correct ..(usually are).after knowing who to look for -found this...signature front end spoiler not found on others.
Also found this:
"The car debuted with a 427 SOHC engine, which later was replaced by a reliable 392 Chrysler Hemi. Loehr ran a best of 7.86 at 189.70 with the car at Orange County. The car was replaced a by new, lighter Mustang in 1969. Dick Loehr eventually left funny cars for Pro Stockers. (Photo provided by Drag Racing Memories; info provided by http://www.draglist.com)"
