Frank and raced several times, he always won till I got my 1965 Ford fastback. ( it was fast) but I never got to race Franks car. Last time I saw the car was 2010 at his house in Petaluma. GREAT Car.....Great guy....Les
This is a true story. Once at an autocross I saw Frank give a CHP a ride in this car and shake him up so bad he didn't get out of the car for 5 minutes. You could see him shaking sitting there. I think that day they clocked the AM car at 130mph!. That was a crazy fast course.😊
I remember watching Frank autocross this car in the early to mid seventies at the Alameda County fairgrounds. I ran a 73 Pinto wagon then a 66 Mustang GT. Never ran enough to be a serious contender.
That car is so cool. My boss has a panoramic picture at our shop from the 90's of the hot pits at a shelby club event at sonoma with that car front and center lined up ready to go and it looked exactly the same now as it did then alongside cobras, gt350's, and panteras. My favorite picture i get to see every day. Glad to see some more detail on it.
Got a picture of my son with the car when he was 3 now 16. Ended up being around that car quite a bit. Everybody stops and watches when that car comes out. My son ended up doing soapbox cars with Frank's granddaughter. Nice people
Been one of my favorite fastbacks for 10 years now. I would LOVE to build a coupe with similar flare work, a predator swap, and sequential. Then try to keep it under 3,000 pounds with 50/50 weight distribution. Hell yea. Ill go get to work. Its gonna take me a bit. If this was the discovery channel id say, "Ill have the complete A-Z build done is 9 minutes 32 seconds guys hang on!"
