    Only lived a few miles from Woodward Ave. We all chip in $1.00 for gas
    and cruise/race all night.

    There were tons of kids that Dad's worked at the Big 3. My Dad at
    the TB/Continental plant. He would pretest the cars so he would bring
    home Liz Taylor, Author Godfrey, Arnold Palmer, Indy 500 Pace Car etc, etc

    My buddies had great cars to cruise in 57 Bird, Split Window 63 favorites.
    There was one car a like a 53 Pontiac all primed, ugly car but, the
    guys dad was the Pontiac Chief Engr. Had the car all reinforced. They
    at the time put in an ''experimental 421 Tri Power"". We smoked everything
    but, amazing how word got out and nobody run for cash after the first weekend.

    Very nice...

    Just a shot in the dark, but do you have any knowledge or know anyone that might know about fuel injected Mustangs/Shelbys 1969 era??

    My good friend friend, actually the one mentioned with the 57 Bird, says he has
    worked on them and very willing to share his knowledge.

    Below is his e mail. probably go that route first and quite sure ya'll can share phone
    numbers and converse in more detail.

    I mentioned you inquired via the Shelby forum so he should respond if you mention you
    got the e mail from his friend that just got a 07 Shelby GT
