    Price range for '66 GT

    the interior colors, multitude of superfluous options, and automatic transmission would be a deal breaker for me, but i'm a minimalist when it comes to a hotrod. good luck in your search.

    Does it make sense to use HIPO headers?

    So my quick dumb question is: if I can commit that eventually I am interested in maybe aluminum or ported factory heads and a better “sounding” cam, would the mail-order HiPo manifolds be my weak link in achieving 300-320hp at the crank or +6K rpm’s? I have lowering springs and 60 series tires...

    Spark Plug Wires

    kind of unscrupulous thing to do, but.... i have in the past and i would again buy two boxes of the same brand from different sources. i just pull the wires i need and return the leftovers. I basically just throw out the really long and really short stuff for a better over-all fit. before you...

    2.25 or 2.5 inch exhaust.

    Well seems how they cruise down the road at a constant 8Krpm’s and most of us here don’t, I think your analogy is poor at best. after owning many V8’s over the years and few small blocks, I would say that pipe diameter is more a matter of what the car is being used for and less about...

    O/T 67 Galaxie 500

    My mom’s landscaper pulls his trailer with a ’64 galaxie wagon. His looks like it’s been through hell and desperately needs restored, but I think it’s still a good choice.

    Any regrets going with a classic?

    this is my first mustang and i love it -more importantly, my two young sons love it. i have had nicer, faster, and more valuable, but i'm loving it. i sold a clean '73 corvette and bought this car and i actually like it better. actually i commuted for a many years in a '70 formula and it's a...

    Any regrets going with a classic?

    most of the "classic car" gearheads i know have one of each: new and old. my daily beater / commuter / baby hauler since i bought it new is an '05 GTO with a manual transmission. bone ass stock with 400 crank hp

    History of my field find

    is the car a K code or something? can't you just swap a fender from another more documented car and use it's VIN? for +40 year old projects, it's not exactly sinister.

    What Makes An Engine Sputter Right At.....

    sounds to me like a gremlin in the ignition wiring or bad sparkplug gap or maybe accelerator pump.

    65 Mustang Rearend Upgrade

    this is the way i would rather go because my car will not be used as a drag car. my target is around 275hp at the rear tires with mostly city driving. what was the basic cost of your upgrades and does it include new axles or gears too?

    My pics from Mid-America Ford & Shelby.

    well, i found my paint scheme for my primmered monstrosity. i was leaning toward green anyway. and it's a terlingua car too.

    Buy or Build? Which is wiser?

    yep. i sold my '70 firebird formula 455 clone because we had a toddler, a new baby, and a new house. i kept my '73 vette. two projects were two projects too many. i'm a driver not a collision repair or restored kind of guy. now i just have my cheapo mustang that is fun to drive and cost...
