This may help restore some of your vision, Bob Glidden's pro stock Fairmont.
I think Bob's wife Etta worked just as hard as he did on the car.

I had a 73 GT 351CJ and why I sold it off I will never know. Loved that thing.

That does help the shock ...

I had to go to the doctor for shock. He told me to force fluids and get plenty of rest. I stopped and bought two cases of beer, went to the house and drank till I passed out.

He was right, I do feel a lot better ...

Most of the cars from that era had a single chamber brake master cylinder. They also had a basic emergency brake. It's pretty obvious that the E-brake was removed. I just wonder if it had a stock master cylinder or if it had been replaced with some new aftermarket set up. A motor than big doesn't leave a lot of room for firewall mounted stuff.

A good rule of thumb is don't try to drive a car that is having problems except to get you to a safe place for repair, recovery, or back to the point of origin ASAP. Having to ride the brakes due to throttle control problems was the first indication that was ignored. Things can and will snowball. It's Murphy's Law.

Dazzle!!!

I know the guy that bought this car, as you see it from Australia and shipped it to Canada. I believe he had it for 8 or 10 years and sold it to a guy back in Australia. It has a cool story on how it was built and the guy died back in the 70s. The name of the car is Dazzle and each additional piece was made of stainless steel and was all of very good quality.

It looks crazy, but it's a really neat car and you can't take your eyes off it!

rj, the name Dazzle describes the car perfectly.
It's definitely had a ton of hr's and workmanship put into the build...
