[DeTomaso] NPC: The Mach 1 Project begins

[adin at frontier.net]

Ford stuff was soft at the auction . . .

as I remember:  Boss 302 under 60K, Boss 429s at 188 and 195K.

Ford didn't build the Boss 429, KarKraft built them, the shock towers  
were moved to get those lovely heads into the car.

AS I REMEMBER

cheers,
