Mach 1 with Hood Scoop. Th Mach 1 and that Shelby has been seen in several shows. I think they belong to people related to the show.
There is an episode of Adam 12 where Malloy and Reed are harassed by a couple of guys in a similar Mach 1.
Could very well be the same car.

You might be thinking about the episode where a couple of young guys driving around in a Red 1969 Mach 1 that kept showing up and getting in the way of Malloy and Reed and an innocent person ended up getting shot because of them getting in the way.
Yes. This one.

AH, that is a different one in a different show than the one I mentioned.
That's the plot tesgt350 - could't remember the color of the Mach - watched it on a small b/w TV. ;)

I believe it's your old car, post the photo from LACR.

Ok Alex, here ya go...
^^^ Scott: Great looking car. Love the color!
What'd it run at that notoriously sh!tty track?
Elevation (2800 feet) + winds + dirt on the track surface = slow times. I seem to remember the correction factor (to sea level) was typically around 0.5 seconds..or more. Especially on a very hot day.

Thanks, Van. It ran 14.30-14.40s around 100 mph @ dirtbag raceway, no correction factor. The Shelby was stone stock, and very consistent. And yes, LACR was always windy, dusty and hot.

Scott's old Shelby is why I wanted a GT500, that car had such a good vibe.
What ring & pinion were you running? That's a very fast time for a bone-stock 428CJ, at that track.

Van,
Btw, that photo is from around 1985-86.
I used either a 3.00 or 3.50. Ran the same. Same as shifting manually or leaving it in drive. It was the most consistent car I ever drag raced. It drove like a Cadillac with all the comforts: A/C, P/B, P/S, tilt, automatic, smooth and quiet. As Alex commented, I must have left an impression with him.
This is me with the GT-500 after the restoration, and painted back to its original Grabber Orange color.
