Hey, im going to school now at Wyotech for automotive, collision and refinishing, chassis fab, high performance engines, and street rod classes, i want a project car for while im down here, im in the process of making a
408w stroker motor and i want to do an old ford product with it, i already have a vintage stang so i was kind of thinking about doing something else, i just dont know what i wanna do, i was thinking maybe a falcon, something real small like that, but i was wondering what you might have for ideas?
thanks
Joe

i like the square body falcons. like the 69 falcon. a cobra II would be cool to, nobody would expect a 408 stroker in a II. another cool one would be a 70's capri.

66-67 Fairlane, 68-71 Torino. Great bodies, still relatively affordable. May have shock tower issures with the 66 body, but the 67 could be had with a 390, so it may be a better choice.

fairlane?

here is a nice one..........the final selling price could give you an indication of what you can get for it if you want to sell after completing it

'63 Falcon Sprint is a cool body style as well with the fastback roofline. '63-'64 Fairlane would be cool as well. You can put a '66-'67 Fairlane front clip on a '67 Falcon and it bolts right on and the body lines line up. A small bumper Mavrick would be neat as well, get the Grabber stuff for it. I've got a buddy with a 351w in a Pinto hatchback as well.

I didn't think about the Maverick, that was my first car. Had a 250 inline 6 in it. Good body, good lines, cheap to buy!
