No real division, maybe a hobby stock or street modified. AMT '71 Mustang body on a modified MPC Super Stocker chassis. The 351 came from an AMT NASCAR Cup car. I copied the rear wing placement from a late model that ran at east TN's Atomic Speedway. The car below was ran by Bill Ogle. He and his brothers owned Atomic and Smoky Mountain Speedway's.

Excellent Mustang. That low-sloped fastback roofline just makes it look fast sitting still. Looks like it could give some of those Camaros a fit.  Nice job on the spoiler.

Nice build, Steve!  Looks period correct and fast, at least for a Ford ;)!  I never minded spoilers on a car, as long as it still looked like something.  When the bodies became ALL spoilers, air dams and flat surfaces, I started to lose interest.

Thank you Speedracer, Rattlecan Dan, Michael F, TarheelRick and Spooker for your kind words. I like how this one came out. Spooker, I believe that I purchased the Benny Parsons/JNJ numbers from you.

I never minded the spoilers either, heck I even liked the old fiberglass bodies as long as they at least resembled a real car. Kind of like the #01 of Bill Ogle, it vaguely looks like a Camaro.
