    Dumb Question, but I'll ask just to make sure.

    I put mine up on four jackstands. Two in front and two in back. All on the frames.

    Miatastangs!! LOL!

    The kit car industry is always looking for fresh ideas cause the cobras and vw based kits have been done to death. There is a gt350 kit out there somewhere with huge fender flares on it and an all tube chassis. This thing would be cool if you could drop it on a chassis that would allow a heavy...

    Torinos for Sale anyone?(OT)

    We did not see the Eleanor craze coming and I'm not missing out again. I'm going to start buying up all of the Torinos I can starting tommorrow, cause when the new Starsky and Hutch movie comes out, I predict a whole new revival of tomatoe red torinos with white stripes and slot mags hitting the...

    Thanks to Eleanor...

    Yep, verts in any year used to pull more than coupes and fastbacks. Besides the obvious price spikes on fastbacks though, I have not seen any phenom on the car here. I have yet to see one in person, and I attend several car meets a week in the summertime, and still have not seen one at the...

    I think I have decided on a Engine

    I hear ya. I looked at DSS, CHP, speedomotive( :notnice: heard bad things, and they use cheaper parts), and decided on DNDMotorsports. The quality of parts just seemed the best for the money to me. Like the block girdle being standard on their short blocks instead of an add on. And forged steel...

    I think I have decided on a Engine

    I was going the same route as edbert, except at the last minute, I decided to go with a 342 stroker so I could reuse alot of stuff off of my 302 now. Once I decided on the short block and checked on prices to finish out long block, I found it cheaper and easier to buy the long block. Then I...

    Thanks to Eleanor...

    Almost turned it into Eleanor of sorts recently. Although the side scoops are a little different, I was going to keep them on, already was set on the back, nothing to change cause I would not have put that fake gas filler on the side. Was going to use my Shelby hood and just order the side...

    12K for 67 coupe "show car"?????

    The only thing I would consider an outsiders opinion on a car in another state worth is whether it is worth me driving or flying to see it in person. I would never, ever buy a car sight unseen.

    Thanks to Eleanor...

    No, but I have an old(10 years old) mustang milestone mag that has the Bullit, beverhills 90210, charlies angels and james bond stangs in it. I also has a mustang built for Frank Sinatra and Dean Martins movie called Marriage on the Rocks, and it is the fugliest thing I ever saw. It is a 65...

    12K for 67 coupe "show car"?????

    A large wad of 100 dollar bills is always pretty convincing. :D

    Thanks to Eleanor...

    This is what is happening to fastback prices.http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/8/0/66008180.htm I got my 67 shelby clone running and driving decent(although overall rough condition) for $2900 dollars 5 years ago. Heck, it had almost $2900 dollars worth of the Shelby fiberglass on...

    12K for 67 coupe "show car"?????

    Yeah, I got to noticeing that, I should have put a claimed on the GT. But it does make a nice comparison.

    12K for 67 coupe "show car"?????

    Pulling the carpet back is real easy. Unscrew the sill plate and remove front kick panel. He should not be objective to this, as it is simple and quick. The pans are a single layer of steel. From your most recent description, sounds like the car is in good order but not excellent. If all...

    289 hipo heads off ebay - are they worth it?

    Its like hungrymonkey said, they are hipo's. Anything with hipo, HO, superduty, etc.. has to be better right? Seriously, I thought they had smaller combustion chambers for better compression, but I looked it up and I was wrong. Oh well, for that money I would still go with aluminum. But if...

    67 Stang

    I have a clone, does that count? The GT350 typically goes for 40 to 50k and the 500 can go well over 80k sometimes. If I had a real one, I'd be afraid to take it out of the garage. :p ps. Hopkinator has a real 500 that he is converting to the eleanor.

    What to do...Wait for the 05 or save a ton on an 04 Mach

    Does'nt the mach one have 300hp at the crank and not 330? The new GT will have 300hp at the crank right? It was just debated on here a while back that both will have about the same hp numbers. I would wait on the new GT. Now a new 03 cobra for 27k sounds good. 390hp at crank, and with a few mods...

    O.T. (Thank you Mr. Greenspan)

    Yeah, that sucks. Simple truth is though, I will retire in 15 to 20 years and I am not expecting social security being there. Hopefully, wife's and my 401ks and company retirement plan will be enough. But if that does not pan out, I guess I'll work til I die. :(
