Mikes a nice guy.

[@AutoXandTrack]

He really is. Have never seen him without a smile.

[@jeffg4008]

He spent an hour talking to be at a Goodguys event. Didn't know me at all and took the time to talk shop with me. Good dude

[@johnlinbarger2393]

Got a picture of my son with the car when he was 3 now 16. Ended up being around that car quite a bit. Everybody stops and watches when that car comes out. My son ended up doing soapbox cars with Frank's granddaughter. Nice people

[@JB-ho9qh]

I remember watching Frank autocross this car in the early to mid seventies at the Alameda County fairgrounds. I ran a 73 Pinto wagon then a 66 Mustang GT. Never ran enough to be a serious contender.

[@digcg]

Maier should definitely have his own KZbin channel!!!

[@Tigerchevelle77]

Mike's a great guy,gave me ridealongs a couple times at good guys events.

[@Tigerchevelle77]

Also make time to answer any questions

[@AutoXandTrack]

Well, he does have a channel. Mike Maier Inc

Frank and raced several times, he always won till I got my 1965 Ford fastback. ( it was fast) but I never got to race Franks car. Last time I saw the car was 2010 at his house in Petaluma. GREAT Car.....Great guy....Les

[@plantfeeder6677]

This is a true story. Once at an autocross I saw Frank give a CHP a ride in this car and shake him up so bad he didn't get out of the car for 5 minutes. You could see him shaking sitting there. I think that day they clocked the AM car at 130mph!. That was a crazy fast course.😊

That car is so cool. My boss has a panoramic picture at our shop from the 90's of the hot pits at a shelby club event at sonoma with that car front and center lined up ready to go and it looked exactly the same now as it did then alongside cobras, gt350's, and panteras. My favorite picture i get to see every day. Glad to see some more detail on it.

[@AutoXandTrack]

I’d love to see that picture!

[@510Exclusive]

@@AutoXandTrack I'll send it to you on instagram on monday.

[@edrodrigues3333]

Used to watch and drool over this car at the Alameda fairgrounds. Everyone stopped what ever they were doing to watch this car run.

[@CORNDODGER]

You young guys we Called it JIM CONNA back in the day of MUSCLE CARS ! Damn nice car!!!!

[@anonymousplanetfambly4598]

Gymkhana...?

[@bbdetailing9123]

Awesome car. Good footage. Watching his runs from the car, it felt like he was going much faster than the speed shown. Crazy.

[@kelevra558]

Been one of my favorite fastbacks for 10 years now. I would LOVE to build a coupe with similar flare work, a predator swap, and sequential. Then try to keep it under 3,000 pounds with 50/50 weight distribution. Hell yea. Ill go get to work. Its gonna take me a bit. If this was the discovery channel id say, "Ill have the complete A-Z build done is 9 minutes 32 seconds guys hang on!"

[@hunterrogue8591]

Great to see Mike. He makes awesome stuff

[@jeffschwartz5199]

Looks like fun 👍

[@raymondbanks4103]

I remember this car for the De Anza days back in 1983.

[@FootageFactory]

This car is amazing!!

[@mrjones528]

Thank you for showing us this car. I have tried to find info on it before and couldn’t.

[@AutoXandTrack]

You’re welcome! I too couldn’t find much info on this car when I looked so I know the feeling.

[@DemonWorks]

Badass car, lots of great stories just in this video and 50 years of more stories out there ! Cool video !

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

That is how they should look from the factory

[@pkincy]

Wow, even Mike Maier is getting older. He started working on this car when he still couldn't shave.

[@AutoXandTrack]

🤣🤣

[@ezacher4634]

Love it!

[@Rabidus289]

Love that intro :O

[@AutoXandTrack]

I was pretty excited about it too 😁

[@danielkohler3458]

Dude! Love the channel. One of these days I'm gonna catch you at Fontana. Not on the track lol. But to see and hear your Camaro in person.

[@AutoXandTrack]

Cool. See you out there.

[@genemounce8302]

Suh weeeeet!

[@noampitlik2332]

So I should look forward to real weight penalties with my 632 Chevy?

[@AutoXandTrack]

Not sure if you are just being sarcastic? But If you have a 632” Chevy you probably are t running CP class. If you run CAM then you are fine 👍🏻

[@noampitlik2332]

@@AutoXandTrack Okay. I'll look into that. Thanks. I set the engine back 6 inches, too.

Why did it take me so long to find your channel and site?! Hooked! Love the content so far! I’ve got some catching up to do.

[@AutoXandTrack]

Glad you are enjoying the channel! Thanks for the great comment.

[@genemounce8302]

I put a bug in @AutopiaLA Shawns ear about maybe get'n with Ed to do some vlogs on some of the TCI cars. ..fwiw

[@AutoXandTrack]

I’d love to do something with Shawn and I know Jason from TCI has approached him before.

[@alejandroledesma905]

This thing is bad as fuck !! 🔥🔥🔥

[@AutoXandTrack]

Yes it is!

[@Mpcoluv]

So that mustang has a three link, not a torque arm?

[@AutoXandTrack]

Correct.

[@fnafplayer6447]

I wanna ask what's the engine?

[@chrisw9051]

wow I would love to watch the video, but a commercial break every 30 seconds is really annoying youTube

[@AutoXandTrack]

😢 sometimes KZbin gets crazy with the ads and sometimes I watch a ton of shows with few adds.
