New projects by accident? I went with a good friend this past weekend to check out a '65 Rivi that he was interested in. I've owned a couple and knew what to look for. Anyway, we get to this gents garage and he has a sheet thrown over an old square-bird 59-60 T-bird. So, my buddy is wheel'in and deal'in on the Rivi and I'm check'in out this old T-Bird. Come to find out the guy is get'in up there and the bird is available. WTF. One of my all time favorite cars a two owner not registered since'90 and the price is fair. Long story short, Buddy buys the Riv and I'm go'in back for the bird! Indy
Yeah, I know square birds are'58-60. I just got so darn excited that the blood rushed from what little brain I have left. Indy
My dad has a 59 with the original 430 big block that came in it. One of only 200 made. Not a huge hp engine, but gobs of torque!
