My 1968 SS/FA Mustang is featured in Lost Muscle Cars
« on: April 20, 2016, 08:15:35 AM »
Lost Muscle Cars book came in the mail today. This is a very good book and it includes 3 missing cars that Hubert Platt once raced. This is the story about the 1968 Mustang that Hubert Platt raced at Pomona in 1968 and I bought from him November 1969 after working with him a couple of months with the Ford Drag Team.

Pretty cool, Rusty. Although that certainly isn't the book you'd want your car featured in, at least yours isn't missing.

So, you've owned that same car since 1969 then? Cool!

No the 1968 is long gone. I pulled the drive train out in 1971 and put it in the 1969 Boss 302 test car body I got from Hubert Platt in 1970. I still have the 1969 Mustang.

First race before it was painted
