That is stunning. And exactly the car I want.

To some they may, but honestly, nothing the japanese make will ever have the draw of Detroit Iron of the 60's-70's

Just out of curiosity Pete, what would a ford muscle car guy like yourself say about someone building a beater ford escort for the quarter mile?

Edit: I'm into sleepers, and a beat up ford escort is about as "beater-ish" as you can get

My Dad built this from the ground up....63 Rivi He just sold it last year....the pic isn't the greatest, but you get the idea....

Music to my ears. It did bring back also the memory of trying to light up a big Ford on today's gas. I used to have a '71 Mach One, 351-Cleveland dual 4-barrel setup. I finally had to have 0-Gauge battery cables built connected to a pair of big-ass Motorcraft Marine (deep-cycle) batteries in the trunk to be able to bring the engine to life. It was running about 12.3:1 actual compression ratio, had to use a nice mix of fuel additives to get it to run on the street.
