1968
This
car was backed by Ford
in 1968. The car was built with the help of Joe Anahory, John
Buttera, Pat Foster, Nye Frank, Tom Jobe, Paul Sutherland and Louis
Techenoff. The car was taken to Bonneville in October 1968 along with
some Ford Mustangs.
M/T never drove the care to its 450+ MPH potential. He did make a
couple of 360 MPH runs and then the weather turned bad and the rains came.
Ford cut back the money so M/T retired the car. The car is now owned
by Mickey Thompson's son, Danny Thompson, . He has plans to make an
attempt at the world land speed record, as soon as he is able to find
a sponsor. |
