    I have always been a mustang guy but as I’ve age I have found that I like all the older fords from the 60’s.

    You can literally lay in the bench seat version and get some sleep.   Three more could probably camp out in the trunk, but I admit I've never tried to get in it.  Edit:  I feel like I remember measuring my 4door at 18 1/2 feet.  The convert is the same length.  They are sitting side by side in my garage and take up 3/4 of it.  They are definitely land yachts.

    Paradise by the dashboard light.

    Ps.  Needs more cam.  Lol

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    That one's a 7 Litre, came with a 428.  A kid a few grades ahead of me in my high school had a bright red one.  My dad bought new a 66 Custom 500 4-door sedan with a 289 and 3 on-the-tree.  I got to drive that one once in a while.  I always liked that body style.

    Speaking of which, my oldest grandkid got her driver license today. Be careful when driving when you get to California.
