So when you’re slightly compulsive the way I tend to be, it’s really helpful to have a very understanding wife. Of the course the fact that she likes T-Birds was a big plus.
Sorry about the crappy pictures, but this was the best I can do with the tight space I had to cram the car into. This is a survivor with 52K original miles. With the exception of the tires and the other wearable parts it’s 100% original. It’s got a couple minor body issues. The interior is immaculate. Unfortunately it’s not a tri-power, but I guess I can live with that. I bought this from the original owner, it’s been parked in her garage since 1979. Never been driven in the winter. And I even got the promo model that Ford gave out with the car.
That’s nice! Somewhere in the 67-69 range, my mother had a used '62 with the 390 and it was a fantastic car. I still have to see the side of them, though, to distinguish 61, 2, and 3 from one another.
My buddies F100 that he bought new. '75 I think. He lives right next door to where my new office is. I give him free storage and he does odd jobs for me like plowing the driveway. And he’s a heluva body man. Spend a fair amount of time in his garage drinking beer and making fun of Chebbys.
I’m actually in the very early planning stages. The main problem is with just what’s on paper now I would have to liquidate almost everything I own to pay for it. I mean what would be the point if it doesn’t have a clean room and a paint booth?
