Earl, I really miss Walt and wish that his website for his car and all the TA  information could have stayed up. I don't know if anyone saved it or not, Or could put it back up, but it would sure be nice to have.
Walt was the best of the best and the number one club member in Nor Cal SAAC.

  Take care and break a leg on the SLOPES, ROY

Google art cars and then tap on images, and you will see dozens of them. They were pretty famous in europe and then people here started doing them also.

Looks like an art car.

There's a link just Mike Maier's website. Very good stuff, and I have known him since he was crawling around his dad's shop back in the seventies, early eighties.

[Posi.  Regular Gas.  This was back in the Mid 80's.  Un-Capped that beast sounded like a Top Fuel Dragster.  I really miss that Car.  Got pulled every weekend doing 20 to 25 over and never got a Ticket]
How did you manage to run regular gas with 13 To one compression ratio?

VTGT500,
About 20 years latter I took advantage of CNC ported Edlebrock heads with JE pistons to suit chamber profile.  Also upgraded to Dove shafts and rocker and with a 294S cam.  Three days on a SuperFlow dyno tweaking air:fuel and timing on pump gas best we could garner was 483 HP.  In the ball park of what's written about the GT40 program.
Why do built FE engines seem to struggle to get much past 1.1 horsepower per cubic inch? 483hp seems awfully low to me for a built motor but I have read similar figures about other motors also. On the dyno, my 302 cubic inch motor with just 9.9 compression, but running 2x4 holley's made four hundred horsepower. Doesn't seem right that a 427, with 125 cubic inches more than my engine made only an extra 83 horsepower.

Do you actually have to have A GT500 or just the look of one? Because it would a lot cheaper to recreate the looks of one. And if you don't open the hood, nobody will know, except you of course😄

There's one out here in an apartment building parking lot for drug recovery people,And the guy supposedly starts it up about once a month drives it around the block A couple of times and then parks it again but will not sell it and it's been sitting around for years and years. It's been about two years since I last checked on it.

I'll throw a little something into this mix also. I have a 70 Mustang, but when we pulled the radio out, it was a D1 part number, and my mother and I have had it since new, so I know that it was never changed out. It is not hard at all for me to imagine that a part made for next year's cars were put on the year before cars.Because they ran out and they already had parts for the next year that would work. If a car was made near the end of production.I could see this happening,But I have not paid attention to what month the car is that we were talking about.

Yes. 25 miles away from me.

Rotated and slightly enlarged first picture for you to make it easier to read.

csheff, what makes you think the picture of the intake manifold you posted is a new blue thunder intake? If you zoom in, you can see lots of patina to it.The only thing new looking are the studs. I slightly enhanced the picture, so you can see even better. Art made some several years ago and if you go here, there is a large discussion on the subject of blue thunder intakes:
