My friends Pantera has wind wings but they are very sharply angled. Those look more rounded.

Well, toss my vote out. I could have sworn it wasn't a 351 Cleveland.

You da man! Mangusta it is.

This guy had just freshly restored the car, and was waiting for the rear grille to come back from powder coating. I put my camera in the space where the grille should have been.

From this angle, it doesn't look like a VW bus with a V-8.

gt350mike 07-10-2011 10:53 AM

Okay.....I'll admit that my guess was pretty pathetic!
