The top pic looks like a early 50's single spinner Ford customline.
The 2nd pic looks like a engine bay of an early Mustang |

And I'll have a stab and say the GT40 is the one Bowden owns, engine looks very similar.

They mostly look like competion cars (Bowden's collection maybe?) There are oviously a few US fords there as well as an Aussie Falcon. I was going to say one of them is a GT40 replica, but I've changed my mind. I will say it is a real GT40. Am I right or am I right? |

Pretty sure that the first one is a 1949 Ford Custom. Also known as the 'single spinner', i dont think the name customline was used until 1953?

Ok, I'll revise,
the tires should have been a giveaway, real GT40.... one of those 65/66 stangs is possibly geohgans 67?

1-3 is a 1949 Ford 'Custom'. Also called a 'Single Spinner', by the round "spinner" (1 of) in the middle of the grille.
The 1950 Custom was also a Single Spinner, but it had a small badge in the middle of the bonnet, with 'FORD' written on the badge above a gold, blue and red logo that had 1 lion (yes, a lion) on each colour. Common called the 3 lion badge, for obvious reasons. The 1951 Custom was the 'Twin Spinner', coz it had 2 smaller "spinners" in the grille. As written earlier, the name 'Customline' wasn't used until a few years later, but it was actually 1952, not 53, that it first appeared. I THINK pic 5 is Pete Geoghegan's 1965 Mustang (the 'Total' Mustang, white with a red and blue stripe). Looks VERY similar under the bonnet. Pete's 1967 Stang had totally different alloy work around the carbs. Pic 6 is a GT40. We all knew that one. The GREATEST Ford Race car. EVER!!! And as written before, pic 7 is Pete's Super Falcon. |

This was his 67 at the Muscle Car Masters last October.  Different colour bay for starters. Also, I THINK the 67 was injected?? Didn't get close enuf to see. Mind you, it's presented in it's 1971-72 guise, so maybe it was carb'd before then?? How's the alloy work for the engine intake air, with a duct that also lines up with the one on the RH side of the firwall, to get air into the cabin as well!! And it's not owned by the Bowden's. It was owned and restored by Ross Donnelly, now owned by Des Wall. The Bowden's have Pete's 65 Stang and the Super Falc thou. Last edited by Group C; 25-01-2006 at 11:52 PM. |

I wonder if they know the engine bay is supposed to be black? From the looks of that pic, its injected allright.... Ok, 4th Pic, a random Gurney Eagle headed 64 1/2 to 66 (Its only got a single circuit brake master, they went dual in 67, missed that one!) Mustang.

I am going to guess that the 10th pic is a 39 Ford, maybe the coupe.
