1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop - R U Faster Than A Redneck?

Long-time readers may remember this 1966 hardtop from our February 2009 issue. At the time, the car was owned by then-19 year-old Nick Branson, who used the Mustang as his daily transportation to and from work at Gateway Classic Mustang in Bourbon, Missouri.Long-time readers may remember this 1966 hardtop from our February 2009 issue. At the time, the car was owned by then-19 year-old Nick Branson, who used the Mustang as his daily transportation to and from work at Gateway Classic Mustang in Bourbon, Missouri. When we needed a subject for a before-and-after test of the RRS (now Gateway Performance Suspension) McPherson strut and brake system, Branson's hardtop was recruited into service. If you recall, the Gateway crew replaced the factory Mustang suspension with Gateway's modern system at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit during the Mid America Performance Ford and Team Shelby Nationals. With the Gateway suspension, test driver J Bittle clipped 12 seconds off the car's Hallett lap time.
