It was just a Le Mans with a big 389 V8 under its hood, some fancy redecoration on its flanks and a name stolen from Ferrari. It was the first of the muscle cars.
The new high-compression, overhead-valve, 303-cubic-inch Rocket V8 made up to 165 hp when the best Ford only made 100. The 88 was prototype for the next 25 years of American performance.
