[PLUG] OT: stole cars with V8's for racing
|
>I'm told they stole cars with V8's for racing.
A little bit of history...
Back before smog controls and electronic fuel injection, 41 years ago to
be precise, Ford released a series of cars to Hertz Rentals creating the
Hertz "Rent-A-Racer" program.
The cars were designated "Ford Shelby Mustang GT350H". The H is for Hertz.
People would rent these cars for only $17 a day and take them to their
garage where they would remove the engine and place it in a nondescript
"sleeper" car. Then they'd race all weekend and place the motor back into
the Shelby before returning the car to Hertz.
