Not sure as just thought the pic was cool .. but from a bit of research it appears it could be linked to the driver Dante Duce who was the mooneyes dragracer but also competed in the Shelby Cobras

Also interestingly : " The very first A.C. Shelby Cobra to reach the United States, delivered to Carroll Shelby, was fitted with a Ford V8 engine and transmission at Dean Moon's shop in Santa Fe Springs, in February 1962. This historic location at 10820 S. Norwalk Blvd. is where MOONEYES still resides today. "
