FORD MUSTANG CUSTOM DRAG CAR "DYNO DON" V8 351
AUTOMATIC
- Summary
: Raced by "Dyno Don" Nicholson during the 1977-78
season. Fresh 13:1 351C producing in excess of 650hp.
Restored to 1978 season configuration.
- Description
: There have been few drag racers equipped with more
versatile skills as a driver and engine builder/tuner
than "Dyno Don" Nicholson. He holds the record for
final-round appearances in the most NHRA Eliminator
categories, scoring either wins or runner-up honors in
Funny Car, Pro Stock and Stock Eliminator. The Pro-Stock
Mustang here today was raced by Nicholson during the
1977-78 seasons. In addition to dominating the Pro-Stock
ranks in the '70's, he also enjoyed numerous match race
victories. This car was built for Nicholson by Don Hardy
Racecars in Texas. Jon Kaase, famous for huge horsepower
race motors, was the crew chief for Don in 1978. At the
end of the '78 season the car was sold to Alfred
Williams, who campaigned it, sponsored by country music
star Billy "Crash" Craddock. This Pro-Stock Mustang has
remained on the racetrack its entire life. Throughout it
has had NHRA required upgrades to compete in the various
classes. These upgrades will allow it to certify for 7
second ET. This will enable the next owner to make very
quick exhibition passes. The engine is a fresh 13:1 351C
producing in excess of 650hp. The block has been bored
.030 and has Ross Racing pistons installed. Naturally it
has 4-bolt main caps. The heads are the correct and very
rare version with raised exhaust ports. It is fueled by
two Holley 1050 CFM Dominator carbs atop a tunnel ram
intake. All this power is transferred through a Lenco
4-speed transmission to a Ford 9" rear geared 5.62. The
body has been restored to its 1978 season configuration.
New front, rear and side windows were installed and a new
Hairy Glass front end was special ordered for the car.
Hairy Glass made the original nose for Nicholson and
still retains the molds. Documented racecars such as this
one are the fastest growing investment cars on the market
today. Add to that pedigree of this belonging to "Dyno
Don" Nicholson and you have a fast, fun, and appreciating
piece of automotive history. Many drag strips across the
country pay generously for vintage dragsters to show up
and make a few passes for the crowd.
