    The SN65 project car

    Hi Eric, Great talking to you also. As nice as it looks in person, it still did not have what it takes to make it to the final 5 for SMOTY. :-( OTOH, it was nice meeting and talking to Art Morrison. He flat out said we were robbed. And, that it has been years since he had seen such a...

    SN65, Bob Kurgan, Speed Inc. Dyno results

    We took the SN65 to Speed Inc (Schaumburg, IL) to tune the beast up after the Whipple install. The install itself went pretty well. We did struggle a bit with the EGR valve plumbing and the correct torque for the manifold bolts, but we did have everything ready for the Tuesday evening session...

    Retrofitting a SN95 dash into a 68

    Yep. That heater plenum assembly is a killer. Also... Windshield wipers, brake/master cyl, clutch, gas, stearing linkage, computers, etc... Also don't forget the center console. The tunnels are different.

    SN65 on the cover of Hot Rod!!!!

    Thanks for the kind words. Hummmm... Maybe in return for the full page shot you could display the car in your booth at SEMA. What do you say everybody? Wouldn't the SN65 look great in the Magnaflow booth at SEMA? Wouldn't that make you buy a Magnaflow exhaust system? :-)

    Modify or restore???

    I don't know if the "modifization" (there I coined a new phrase) of old cars will ever die. It is a phase that finds its way into all aspects of the auto hobby. It always seems to happen to cars that are about 30-40 years old. It happened to cars from the 30's, 40's, 50's and now the 60's and...

    Modify or restore???

    So... What you are saying is, if he goes the concourse restoration route, invests about 25K or so in making the car a "MCA #1" he would end up with a car worth about 15 to 20K.

    Retrofitting a SN95 dash into a 68

    I feel your pain. :-) But, in answer to the big question of "is it worth it", yes, I think it was worth it. REMEMBER.... Make sure you have the clearance and fit of all the mechanical systems checked prior to ANY finish welding. Just tack everything up and bolt it all together. Then...

    Modify or restore???

    The thoughts that runs through my mind are... Early 64.5.... 260 V8.... Are these cars in demand??? How much would you pay for a SOLID (no major rust, good struct, etc...) example. 4,000? 5,000? More??? What is the current value of a 95 point concorse show winning example???

    Modify or restore???

    Here is a note dropped to me from a possible customer. He wants us to modify his car... The car was built on the 26th of May, 1964. So it is fairly early (this was the49,371 in production at the Dearborn plant). Car was purchased at Newby Ford Sales, in Henrietta, TX on June 10th 1964...

    SN65 on the cover of Hot Rod!!!!

    Wayne shaved them and then created a detail similar to the bead that runs around the sail panel louvers. It looks so "correct" that most people don't notice.

    SN65 on the cover of Hot Rod!!!!

    Hi D, Sorry, but we had to back out of the power tour. :-( All the parts for the blower upgrade showed up and we had to install everything for an upcoming V8 TV show. So, we are sad that we did not make the tour, I guess we will just have to settle for 550 RWHP as a consolation prize. :-)

    SN65 on the cover of Hot Rod!!!!

    Hi All, That's right!!! The SN65 made the cover.... "Gonzo '65 Mustang on an '03 Chassis" Granted, it is the upper right hand corner. And the picture is barely large enough to see me in the passenger seat, but it is the cover. Look for the August issue for the full 9 page spread...

    Retrofitting a SN95 dash into a 68

    The SN95 dash is about 1.75" to wide for the 65 through 68 body style. We had to trim it and fit up a couple of custom end caps. The biggest issue anyone will have with this "swap" is the machanical interface at the firewall. and the trans tunnel. The firewall and the trans tunnel will...

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    Hi Reen, Your car is looking fantastic. I am glad you are nearing completion. You will be posting your show schedule once you get it all nailed down.

    Got Boost???

    We do. A whipple twin screw is on it's way. Once installed, we will dial it in at about 550 RWHP and let the good times roll. This, along with a couple of other upgrades, should all be complete, locked and loaded in time for the Columbus Good Guys Show. Woo Hoo!!!!

    SN65 open house - FINALLY

    No Problem. I should have taken more people for rides. That was a lot more fun than standing there just looking at it. :-)

    SN65 open house - FINALLY

    Hi All, Sat May 27th we will have an open house to view (and ride in) the SN65. Sorry that it has taken so long for us to schedule the event, but things have just been nuts lately. Look forward to seeing you the 27th.

    SN65 at the WFC...

    Hi M, I have not shelved the idea yet, but I have only been able to get 5 people on board so far. We really want 10. The five are going to patently wait till I can get the other 5. I am reworking the website to include the ideas that we have been kicking around. It appears that they...

    SN65 at the WFC...

    Well…. We just returned from the World Ford Challenge. What a show. We were parked right at the 1/4 mile finish line. Being within 50 feet of these cars as they went past (some at well over 200 MPH) was just insane. Sometimes, when the shoots deployed, they would POP so loud that you...
