This wild rear-engined Ford powered machine was snapped at the Santa Ana Drags. Driver Bill Sanders had turned an eye-opening 110.50 mph with the banger (and an even faster 135.13 mph with Merc V8 power). The Ford Trans was fitted with 26 tooth Zepher cogs and the rear end uses 3.78 to 1 gears. Bill only used second and high gear during his runs.
