Along with the new profile, Ford offered a lightweight package intended for racing that featured a stripped interior and a host of custom-built body and trim panels.
The hood, fenders, decklid, and fender liners were molded in fiberglass.
The bumpers and bumper mounting brackets were aluminum rather than steel.
The case for the T10 four-speed transmission and its bellhousing were also aluminum, and it used a lighter chassis than run-of-the-mill Galaxies. The diet shed several hundred pounds from the car, making the dual-quad 427 V-8 even more impressive.
I reckon this model/s are the ones we see blitzing it at the Goodwood revival ??
