Richie Pauley 1968.5 Mustang Cobra Jet "135" NHRA Stock Eliminator Drag Racing Pomona

The number 1 qualified car in Stock Eliminator at Pomona belongs in a museum, but we would much rather see #48 of 50 competing at the strip. Richie Pauley acquired the coveted 428 powered 1968.5 in the early '70s where it was sitting in a friend's backyard with a broken motor and a flat tire. One of only a few "street" version lightweights produced, this car had a radio, heater, and sound deadener and draws many potential buyers that Rich has to reject on a regular basis.

#TheCarShow is alive and well!

[@kimmorrison9169]

A ‘68 CJ my all time favorite Mustang. Just a bitch to work on thou. This one a bit on the dirty side but a thing of beauty. Kudos to a 77 yr old for sticking with racing.

[@JustAnumbr]

So I’ve watched several of your videos and am beginning to understand the concept. The hp rating determines weight, but the car can have as much actual hp as one can create, yes?

[@driverinterviews]

Yes!

[@JustAnumbr]

@@driverinterviews thank you. I’ve never understood this. Now I do. It does make me want to go racing.

[@driverinterviews]

@@JustAnumbr Thank you for watching. I probably should have explained that better in a video. I never knew the channel would grow the way it has so I am glad to have new viewers point out these kinds of questions.

[@josephhaines3817]

Bobby why do some cars run a single wheel bar and others have a double ? going to have the s/s car out next year ?

[@driverinterviews]

The Calvert design and Ken keir prefer the single wheelie bar. I run a double but I am not sure the benefits.

[@waynegoss7703]
