  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nA batch of The Going Thing Mustang and Fairlane Cobra Sports Roofs (plus a handful of low-performance hardtops) was collectively special-ordered by several Cleveland-area dealers for the Ford Total Performance Show at Thompson Drag Raceway in Ohio.\n\n\n\n\nThe May 3, 1969, event featured Ford Drag Team members Hubert Platt and Randy Payne plus a traveling \"supercar clinic\" that included competitive drag runs, a specialty car display, and an exhibition of hi-po equipment.\n\n\n\n\nThe Going Thing Mustangs were available in special-order Petty Blue (remember, the King was with Ford in 1969) or white, all built with both pedestrian and performance Ford engines; they also featured an unusual stripe that resembled the Boss 302's yet included \"THE GOING THING\" stenciled at the bottom of the stripe, plus a huge Ford decal on the trunk lid.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.oldcarsweekly.com/inside-the-ford-total-performance-show\n\nhttps://www.hotrod.com/features/going-thing-peek-inside-mustang-marketing-1960s-display-mcacn-2017",
