Don’t know if that was such a successful engine swap.

No- That's all wrong. What were they thinking? It's a MUSTANG should be a V12 Merlin.

Ian "Pete" Geoghegan's 65 Mustang, taken at Eastern Loop, Lakeside Raceway, QLD, 7 May 1967, with this daggy camera, fortunately with large negatives.

Looks like Riverside C.A.

Sat in the dust and watched a few vintage Trans Am races here a few times

Near my old stomping ground, San Bernardino.

In 1970, lawyer and drag racer Al Eckstrand put together a Lawman Racing Team, consisting of two 780hp Boss 429 Mustang drag cars

 and six 428 Cobra Jet Mach 1s, to tour U.S. military facilities around the world. It was during the Vietnam War, and servicemen were happy to see some of the musclecars from back home.

 Two Lawman Boss 429s were built, one for Eckstrand demonstrations in Southeast Asia and the other for use as a show car in Europe.

 The first car was destroyed at sea when an 8-ton ship container fell on it
 (possibly the USS Coral Sea, ID 43).

 So, Eckstrand hastily finished the second car, which was flown by Air Force transport to the south Pacific.

 Over the next three years, the Lawman United States Performance Team performed demonstrations to an audience of over 240,000 servicemen.

 In 1999, Eckstrand reacquired the Lawman Boss 429 from Sam Eidy, who had purchased the car and maintained it as a tribute to Eckstrand.

This is possibly the destroyed car, shown being loaded on the USS Coral Sea.

Galpin Ford built 1967 Coupe Parade car with a Rumble Seat and Sunroof.



I think they also called this "the mother in law seat"
