Just watched the 1968 Southeastern 500 from Bristol on youtube. Very interesting to see both Lee Roy Yarbrough and Cale Yarborough in Ford Torinos, despite Bud Lindemann's commentary to the contrary. Greg Fielden's Forty Years of Stock Car Racing book had both cars correctly listed as Fords. This could make an interesting variant of the Wood Brothers 1968 car. I don't know how to post the link, but you can find it on Youtube.

Gurney won Riverside in 1968 in a Wood Brothers prepped H&M Ford Torino, too. Cale drove a # 21 Torino in that same race.

Thanks for the links. I knew that Junior Johnson ran both the Ford & Mercury for Lee Roy in 1968; it's the Woods Brothers running both for Cale that surprised me a bit. It looks like most of the graphics are the same except the FORD logos on the lower rear fenders.
