This must have been a Shelby Maverick!!

Well there were Shelby Mavericks as well as Galaxies. (Mexican ones ... that is

Don't think any of them flew though

 

That video is simply just an example of poor suspension adjustment.

 

Close, it is a Gremlin.

I'm not sure, but I think this is a european Ford Capri.

 

I guess so but did you see the rear wheels lift off the ground?. Scary. Mike

 

Definitely not a Maverick, early to mid 70's Capri.

 

Yes, I did see them lift off the ground and still stand by my statement: Poor suspension adjustment. That is, if we are talking about a properly prepared drag racer. If, on the other hand, we are talking about an exhibition car, that's another story.

"Scary" was in the mid 1980 watching Jim VanCleve's SS/C 427 Fairlane with the rear bumper scraping the track at 130 MPH. In those days, we couldn't run wheelie bars. I watched Dave Wren at the Winternationals win the SS/D class final against Nate Cohne's Fairlane. I was standing on the starting line, and was looking at the top view of Wren's hood scoop about the same time the win light came on in his lane.
