In 1967, Ford had just won another victory at the 24 Hours of LeMans. What could be more appropriate than to bring the Ford Motor Company racing program to North America in the legendary Canadian-American Challenge series? The vehicle of choice was the Honker II, campaigned by stock car specialist Moody and driven by up-and-coming all purpose racer, Mario Andretti. Built around a full-length aluminum monocoque and powered by a Holman-Moody 351-ci variant of the lightweight 260/289 Ford engine built in Dan Gurney's shop, Honker II's slippery bodywork was developed in Ford's wind tunnel. Honker II's 1967 season was plagued by development issues, but the prodigious driving skills of Andretti made the car a contender in each race it entered. Following the 1967 season, Ford's attention turned to other projects, and Honker II's Can-Am career ended. In 1969, the Honker II was featured with Paul Newman in the movie Winning.
