Imagine a car that embodies the spirit of innovation and the relentless pursuit of speed: This 1967 Ford Mustang GT, was Trudell Ford, driven by Bob Trudell. Originally crafted as a factory experimental dragster, this Mustang was equipped with the legendary 427 SOHC engine. Today, it roars with a 514 engine and a C6 automatic transmission, capable of conquering the quarter-mile in 9 seconds or less.
But what makes this car truly remarkable isn't just its performance
it's the history etched into its very frame. Out of perhaps 50 factory experimental dragsters built by Ford, many were lost to time, destroyed, or tucked away in private collections and museums, some valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars. These rare machines were designed for lightness, featuring fiberglass bodies and even frames with holes drilled to shave off precious weight.
Owning this car is not just about possessing a dragster; it's about holding a piece of drag racing history. There's even a model version of this exact car, in its original form and color, available for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This Mustang is more than a vehicle; it's a testament to a bygone era of automotive excellence and a symbol of the undying passion for speed.
