Light years from the Ford strategy of the previous post, and the start of the slippery slope to the grotesque cars of today. This is why this site will end with 1966.

Less than three months earlier, the Bob Thomas/Howard Neal "Strip Teaser" was your basic A/FXer, a Falcon stuffed with the hi-riser 427 out of the team's '64 Thunderbolt, gasoline and carburetors. The car would also get a mild AWB treatment; not sure if that has happened by this race. Subsequent owners put a straight axle on the front -- not my favorite version of the car.

The end is in sight for 1965 -- a long run in South Carolina, and closing out in Virginia.
