The Mach 1 Mustang was stock .. wasn't even in my bracket (he was quite a bit slower)
That was a Maverick (the car with the hood scoop) ..(remember those?) in the background ..guy had put a boss 302 in it and it really sounded *awesome* (cam, headers, gears, slicks when he raced, the works) .. he was quite a bit faster than my Dodge 
Coupla years later I showed him the Duster was quite a bit faster than his Maverick
The bottom pix (against the 6-cyl Valiant) was bracket finals that day .. guy with the slant six had 6:14 gears in the back and alla go fast goodies with 9" slicks and the car was gutted ..sounded like a real angry buzz saw ..launched amazingly fast, if you blinked you'd miss it .. that pix was snapped as I launched the Dodge ..the Valiant had the head start (it was bracket racin) .. ol' Dodge was about half a second faster down the 1/8th ..but nothin stayed with that Valiant for the first 60 ft

believe it or not, i do remember the mavericks. in fact, i owned a 74 with a 250 strait six, 1 barrel carb., that ran 14's.
i thought the one in the pic may have been a grabber, as i've seen a few around here in nj. there was a guy at atco, many moons ago, with a 289 in his maverick........all the goodies, and that thing ran 9's.....but it looked scary, 'specially with that engine screaming up at the fast end. always was waiting for pieces of engine to launch for orbit.
