Interesting pictures. Eric, when I was talking to the Ford dealers out here in the late 70 & early 80s about buying an Autocraft Cobra I tried one and wasn't to impressed. They all had 302s that were so smogged they hardly had enough power to pull the accessories that Ford felt had to be on every car, let alone the car. I think later they really improved the performance and may have even gone to larger engines. But the one I tried out had 4 cataletic converters on it plus numerous other junk to pass smog. God I hate that word. When you have 20 million cars in the state and 30,000 of them are the older cars or replicas, they can't possibly be a major contributor to smog. Also all the plants that buy the right to not meet emissin requirements. Sorry about the tirade but Smog and Emissioons is to me like a red flag to a bull.
