The "All Cars I Have Had List" Topic

[19Walt93]

It's already somewhat of a restomod so pretty much just a driver, with an overdrive trans it'd probably do decent on gas even with a mild cam and GT350 heads... and the Hooker headers that are on it, already has granada front brakes, just needs a brake booster to help out if I can find a small one to fit in there...

I'm finishing up a 68 coupe I've been working on for a friend since May. It's a 289/C4 car that he's going to ship to Arizona for winter use. I replaced the sloppy, designed-for-the-51-model, non integral power steering system with a Borgeson integral box and I'd highly recommend you do the same. The Borgeson unit is quicker- 2 1/2 turns, lock to lock- and actually has road feel, not to mention it has many less places to leak. You'll need a manual steering drag link, pitman arm, and idler arm. I bought the hose kit Borgeson has and reused the Ford pump, I did have to make an adapter to hook the pressure hose to the pump. They have a Saginaw pump and bracket kit if you want.
The brake pedal is different with and without power brakes, I had to get an adjustable master cylinder pushrod to get the manual brake pedal down to 7" off the floor where it belonged.

Similar one, but different rims

I like the rear spoiler on the C/S coupes but prefer the C stripe to the GT/CS side stripe.

As far as I'm concerned this was the nicest Mustang ever made

My old boss has a yellow 71 Mach I with a 429 SCJ we restored at the shop for him. Backing it into the service drive thru at night, peeking out through the 8" tall back window while trying not to burn up the clutch because of the too lumpy cam wasn't fun. It's more fun on the road, though.
My former brother in law bought a 71 Boss 351 new, drove it summers until the early 80's when he wrecked it. It was far from totalled so he bought all the Ford parts to fix it and parked it behind his folk's house. It's still sitting there, covered with leaves and debris. It broke my heart to see it like that last summer after he died and I went to look it over with my nephew. Anyone up for resurecting an original owner Boss 351? It's for sale.

At some point, it seems, that "C" stripe got inverted/converted into the "Hockey Stick"
