Greetings from the great white north - colder than a witch's **** up here this winter with no end in sight!! I have followed threads and exchanges on this site over the past few years (and have learned lot) and finally decided to join - sounds like a great bunch of guys with lots of experience and knowledge to share. My father and father in law both worked at Ford's nearby Oakville, Ontario ***embly plant from the mid '50's to mid '80's (they worked on the seven hi- po '65 Falcons which were the only Falcons anywhere built with the 271 HP engines). I have always been "subjected" to Fords and I started collecting them in the late '70's. I have room for four cars in my garage so that's how many are usually in my stable - some change as I get tired of them over time, others will likley be with me to the end. Currently own a completely resotored to original '65 Falcon Futura convert from California (289/auto, factory A/C); '65 Country Squire (built and raised in Texas, all original and looks it but has the 390, C-6, factory A/C, etc.); '72 Gran Torino Sport SportsRoof (351 Cleveland, auto, factory A/C, gauges, etc. - bought many years ago in Oregon from the original owner after 21 years in storage; and a '78 F150 Super Cab 4X4 long box - which is as long as its name ( sold new in Nevada, I bought it from the original owner. All original with factory A/C, tilt wheel, cruise control, interval wipers, factory cap, etc.). I'd own more if I had a place to keep them. Looking forward to playing with you guys.
