I've noticed that too in all model year Mustangs through 1973, not all models, but probably most. Think Bullit, think Diamonds Are Forever, & GISS (Gone in Sixty Seconds). All "California". 1970-1981 Camaros / Firebirds (from the factory) are noticeably "California" too.

Anyone? I'm from CA and I never heard of the California rake. When we dropped the nose down then it became the Nascar rake. Considering the nose-up design came out of Dearborn's design studios, I don't know what California would have to do with it. However, on the dragstrip, nose-up for weight transfer predated production vehicles by a long shot. BTW, we used to be able to tell SB or BB in a Mustang/Ford from a distance. Despite the heavier Big Block spring rate, those cars did sit lower in front than the smaller engines. You motorcycle guys know how important the rake is...> Rob -- CobraJet
