I remember seeing the Black Galaxie at The Carlisle All Ford Nationals a few years back. It was a feature display inside and I got a bunch of shots of it.

the guild of automotive restorers has a turbosonic dragster from the mid sixties. the car (when grainger got it) had a motorcycle or a briggs engine in it but he has since found a real turbosonic engine in the states for it.

Ive met the guy who brings it and chatted with him a few times.

He mentioned they had a Volkswagen beetle called the black widow? with one in it.

Would love to have one of these for my c10... talk about a sleeper!

There' s a Turbonique super charger under the hood of this ol' girl.  It was bought at Central Chev and chopped the same year.
