Notes: When Jim Thomas and the original "Genuine Suspension" funny car team split up after running the "AMX-1," Thomas was left on his own. The next car Thomas built was this almost forgotten Mustang. The Mustang was quite unlike the "AMX-1" because it was long and low. Thomas hired Gary Read to be the car's usual driver, but it also appears that Dean LaPole of "King Camaro" fame might have driven the car, too. The Mustang was not raced for long before Thomas built the Top Fueler for which he is best remembered. |
