Talk:Dean Moon

Untitled
Moon used the name Mooneyes for his Chevy-powered gas dragster in the early sixties. This car was pictured on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine in September 1961. Also Moonbeam was the name given to the Devin-bodied sports car which won the Brighton Speed Trials in England in 1964 driven by Dante Duce - both these cars are now in the Don Garlits Museum of Drag racing in Ocala, Florida. Moonshot was a fuel dragster from 1965, driven by Merek Chertkow. For a picture of Dean Moon at Brighton, England in 1963 go here: http://flickr.com/photos/89093669@N00/1564957593

The very first A.C. Shelby Cobra to reach the United States was fitted with a Ford V8 engine and transmission at Dean Moon's shop in Santa Fe Springs, California, in February, 1962.

Mooneyes Hot Rod & Custom Show - last paragraph
The redlinked Mooneyes Hot Rod & Custom Show appears to be fictional, as all of the youtube videos show the name to be **th Annual Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show.... The paragraph content was original research to which a poor citation from a WP:SPS blog was added in this 2010 change from an editor absent since 2012. Suggest this should be deleted. I've spent enough time on this promotional aspect.--86.29.222.228 (talk) 18:17, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
