Re: obscure muscle

I'll find that page I saw that about 516 of them or so were made to comply with NASCARs rule about having so many produced to be able to race in sanctioned races..... and i DID say it is a CYCLONE SPOILER II if ya read the post....yes the nose thing is a lil on the crazy side to me but I am a sucker for merc stuff...

There's lots of history on the cars and you can check it out over on the Torino Cobra site. I remember one of the King Cobras being for sale back in the early 1980's. Amazing cars that would have given MOPAR a real fight if NASCAR had not slapped the aero cars with a 305ci engine limit.
