Wow - it didn't take long for the coattail riders to turn up, 'eh?
It already started in 1965:

I swear Carroll Shelby himself modified my coupe. This is exactly how it was when I bought it in 1989, it must be original.
If only I had a nickel, for each of those stories....
J. C. Whitney says the strips are good for another 20 hp.
We have decades of on track photos to prove that Fords go faster with stripes. Isn't that why they were added? I guess I would have to check with Brock and Cantwell on that. ::)
That hood scoop is sweet.......... :o

Yeah, it b l e n d s . . . :o
(:o - the funniest emoji, it just cracks me up!)
I believe the hood scoop is from the "SUPER-DUTY" series of Ford trucks starting in 1958, which was available with the "BIG ONE", a 534 cubic inch, four barrel carbed behemoth. :o
Pontiac later borrowed the "SUPER-DUTY" nomenclature, and the hood scoop, notably even supplying the Ford part number to NHRA as evidence of it being of standard production sourced. 8)
Scott.

That's OK Ford borrowed Thunderbolt from Studebaker who used it on engines they borrowed from Chevy
And Ford borrowed the "289" displacement number from Studebaker.
