    Restoring Bob Joffer's Fleet Foot. The car ran in the early 70s powered by a 427 sohc. I first seen the car in 1971 I was 11 or 12 years old. On october 5 I pick up the car 8 miles east of Rocky Mountain National Park which is another story. On october 7 Bob Joffer passed away. Looking For pics and info on the car. Currently running a 70 mustang FB N.H.R.A SS/JA with a 351 Cleveland.
