    Found a nice little bash car!!!

    A little out of my price range but thought it was cool.

    Honestly, it doesn't seem steep for what it is.  That FE stroker alone cost in the $15,000 range.  Would be fun around town, but not a highway car with a 4 speed and that gearing.  Great at turning regular tires into slicks though I bet!

    As much as I like those 'tear drop' hoods.......that would be the first thing I would change!
    Looks great on Fairlanes....Falcons.....63 Galaxies ....not much else.
    Slip an OD tranny in that 'puppy' and drive it to the BASH!!!! (Sure to get a lot of 'passenger ridealongs ')

    Yeah, that’s a sweet machine. That standard drum brake master cylinder sure looks tiny back there.

    That’s a nice looking ride. The quality of his work should help get to his price. Hope he gets there.

    Definitely not a freeway with the gears and 4 speed. Those three deuces won’t help either!!! I do like the factory long tube cast manifolds.

    Mike, don’t let that tear drop good stop you, it comes with a good factory hood.

    Inner headlights have to go!  Ram air baby!  I love those big cast aluminum carb covers the T-bolts had too!

    It definitely needs and OD trans.  T56 would be my first choice but probably won't fit in the tunnel, and I wouldn't want to hack it up.  I'd probably build one of my ultra duty T5s for it using Astro or G-Force gears.

    I'm not a big fan of those tear drop hoods on any car. I just like the old school look. You can change the rear if you want to go highway. But those cars were made to go 0-60 before the wife could say, " slow the he!! down".
