Notes: The 1972 Mustang Mach I sat on an SPE Chassis, and lettering by Dennis Rickliff (check spelling). The car ran a 6.89 at 220. I ran the car at Pomona, Orange County Raceway, and Hawaii Raceway Park. Thanks so much for a terrific site. - Robert Contorelli | Robert spent approximately $15,000 in '72 to build this Mustang. The SPE chassis had a 120" wheelbase, and the Mustang body came from Ed Wills' shop. The engine was an aluminum Donovan, built by Gene Oates. A 1/2" Velasco stroker crank was used as well as Howard's rods and Arias pistons. The cam came from Engle. Oates also ported and polished the early Hemi heads. Both the intake and exhaust valves were Donovan 2 inches. A Don Hampton-prepared blower sat on a Cragar manifold, and Cragar also supplied the blower drive. Up top sat an Enderle injection unit that fed the 80% nitro mix to the engine. The engine produced approximately 1,200 hp. A 10" triple disc clutch fed the power through a SPE direct drive to a 4.56 rear. The total weight of the car was 1,800 lbs., including 75 lbs. of ballast. Don Henderson of American Fiberglass sprayed on the Aztec gold and candy blue paint. |
