research roll cage pictures in NASCAR in 1968...the roll cage in this Cortina Roadster has the NASCAR style rounded "hoop" the 1960's NASCAR'S had.
HOLMAN MOODY was all over NASCAR too. back when men were men
The two black and white pics show the smashed new Cortinas in good company at Holman Moody in the late 1960s,
These pics are so valuable along with the 1969 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED STORY to document this HOLMAN MOODY / FORD CORPORATE RACING deal stemming from a disaster on the high seas.
You may know that FORD and HOLMAN MOODY were bedfellows in GRAND PRIX ENDURANCE RACING during this era. This partnership delivered the damaged Cortinas to HOLMAN MOODY.
Lee Holman said many of the brand new Cortina motors were used in Formula Fords and those cars were scrapped. He also said someone else other than me may still have another shipwrecked Cortina Holman Moody Roadster or what H/M called a "DUME BUGGY". yes duMe for some reason
IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS INFO ON THESE CARS PLEASE CONTACT ME. Also if the guy who sent me the Holman Moody shop pics is reading this please email me.

from Sports Illustrated>

Gathering dust at one end of the main building of Holman and Moody there is an open sports car called "The Honker" that was driven unsuccessfully by Andretti a few seasons back on the Can-Am race circuit, where Chevrolet power consistently prevails. Nearby, under the same blanket of dust, there is a once-famous yellow Ford sports coupe, the first of the rare Mark IV breed to win a major endurance race.

Across from the main building there is an aircraft hangar that Holman bought surplus and had reassembled on the plant grounds. Inside the hangar there are a number of spiffy boat hulls that serve primarily as test beds for the marine conversions Holman and Moody make out of basic Ford street engines. The hangar also contains several Ford vehicles that were deliberately bashed in impact tests, as well as a few golf carts that have been dinged up a bit. The golf carts were formerly used in the main plant until employees got to horsing around, doing wheelies in the carts, like hotshot drag-strip drivers. A large part of the hangar floor space is taken up by 70 crumpled English Ford Cortinas, damaged in a freighter accident. Holman got them for almost nothing and has already sold half of them to people who want some kind of topless buggy for use off the public roads.
