69 Mach 1 with Shaker???

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.

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

^^^ 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.
