That's the beast!   Talk about stuffing 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bucket, then making it look soooo good.  Oh and plenty of HP too.  8)

Thanks for the compliments. I thought most of you had seen pictures of it before. I have some youtube videos of it too.

WOOOOOW!!! What a car. Glad you went the "69" route and the livery scheme. Looks like a LOT of fun. Also love the Bird. Gary

I love that pix.  Such a throwback to a better time. The Tucker makes it really cool.

Notice that three of the four kids (including the girl) appear to have fresh scabs on their knees.   

Every kid in my neighborhood, when I was around that age, had skinned knees. Usually recurring on a daily basis.  Our parents would just spray some Bactine or Unguentine on them and off we'd go to play some more.  No big deal.  No lawsuits.

  I wish writers would look past their pens and look at the pictures a little closer. The interior shots reveal the FACT that the cars were '68s with prototype sheet metal hung on them by H&M. These were NOT  "built" for Baby Grand and delivered to M/T . They WERE built by H&M for M/T to race at Bonneville "specifically". The "actual" vins were '68 vins. The blue car was NOT the first Boss 429 built NOR the first Mach one built because they were '68s. KK had NOTHING to do with them. New discoveries of old information indicate the ''Yellow car" went on tour in '69 at the Ford display and after that sent to H&M for "recycling" and became a Baby Grand car like the Red M/T car was.Some recently discovered photos seem to indicate that.

In the late fifties a bunch of us would go up the creek valley behind our house, cook hot dogs on a fire, swim in the swimming hole,

we were responsible and safe, looked out for each other, I'm sure there were weirdos, and things happened, but not like today !

as long as we were home before the street lights came on all was cool, different times for sure !
