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.

Very cool-looking build. Nice job!

Greetings from Germany!

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.
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

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.
