This was actually my first car. I got it in 91 and my dad and I put a 460 in it and the teardrop hood. I sold the car after he died in 95 and kicked myself after it. I bought it back in March of 2010 it had been sitting for atleast 10 years. It needs work but it isnt going anywhere this time. I'm going to restore it the way we had planned back then. <!-- / message -->
Got a few, most not HAMB friendly. Bagged since 99, but pushed to the side for now. Daily driver when nice. Owned since 1990, going through an update right now.
I do, I do !!!!! (I have the Thunderbird in my avatar too) Here's my '62 with the old 292 Y Block (took it out 2 weeks ago), it's in the process of getting a 521 ci BBF and disc brakes all around. The old engine, The new engine, My '63 1/2 race car,
I have this '66 I picked up with a knocking 289 in it. Undecided if I should put another rebuilt 289 I have done back in or put in the 460 BB I also have ready for it.
I've got a 66 with the 289 and 3 speed. Going through a makeover right now....pics are in the album of what I started with.
It should end up around 2900 lbs without me in it. The backhalf and cage are chrome-moly and all the floors and trunk pans are aluminum and the hood, trunk lid, bumpers, fenders, inner fenders, core support, gravel shield and bumper brackets are fiberglass. It's getting an A-headed 545, two nitrous systems and a powerglide.
