here are my muscle cars :1orglaugh

That is stunning. And exactly the car I want.

I think this is my next project / goal. Grab an old Fastback and restore it. Or maybe an old Mach 1.

numbers match car?

Do 'jap' muscle cars count?

do you have pics of the engine and the interior? :pimp

No! I wish it was! :Oh crap

Now they do! :thumbsup

ya thats the kicker :Oh crap Both of mine are matching, when and if I ever bring them back to OEM

I am in awe of this resurrection. May angels guide you through fields of fragrant flowers, so that you may step not in cow poop.

ncie ride

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

Nice one!
 

Great Job! That looks excellent...Congrats!

is that a falcon on the rack?

cleveland, hmmmmmm

ooooh i'm drooooling. :pimp

No! 428 Cobra Jet!

same family, I didnt notice how wide the intake was, is that a carter carb?

Not really! the 428 belongs to the FE family of engines, 360, 390, 427, 428 Big Blocks... :pimp

That is an edelbrock carb.

FE, cleveland then winsors. I consider it a 2 family scenario

Edelbrock/carter, same thing

Cool good deal man.

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? :upsidedow

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

I'd say great! but will it look as good doing it? :winkwink:

damn fine motor car

Damn that oil pan hangs low, buts its still a damn nice pony.

Congrats on the build.

Gorgeous car, be proud! :)

That is a nice car.

thats is one mean looking ride

Amazing car man! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Wow, I'm impressed with the car AND the location of the car! Looks like a pretty nice area to live in.. Lush, green, warm...

FUCKIN' SAWEEEEEET!!!!!

I am now fully erect, and just flipped my desk over!

:thumbsup :Graucho :thumbsup

Chicks look hot driving cars like that! :Graucho

I love it! Great job! You should be very proud! :thumbsup :thumbsup

NOPE! but thanks for trying to play. :Oh crap

Pete is it fun to drive this car ? i've never drove a american muscle car, only ford thunderbird v8 1994 (does that count) ?

Thanks,

Loryn, anytime you want a ride just let me know! :winkwink:

Not fun in traffic! open road is a blast! :thumbsup

My Dad built this from the ground up....63 Rivi :thumbsup 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. :1orglaugh

12.3 holy shit! that's some serious compression! :pimp

Thats mint! Good job

I always like those buicks! :thumbsup
