    I LOVE the car ...but I found it a little odd that it was restored with new type AutoMeter guages ,Carpet,and that it has Electric windows and street tires on back instead of slicks.
    I would have thought that it would have a set of stewert Warners in it ,with
    Maybe a SUN or Rotunda tach, metal floor, and roll up windows or maybe strap window lifts in it, with slicks out back. Just an Observation :)

    Just another observation:D when you look at the shock tower mod it is crazy that they would stay with the stock upper control arms back when they built these. Maybe a rule about suspension:hmmm: and there is not much support to those shock towers like I would have thought, I guess bu moving them out that far the springs are setting straight up or maybe even kicked out a little at the top, maybe it doesn't try to push them in on that motor. Very cool car though, I bet it would about make you s&#@ you pants at a full speed pass.:D

    I believe so. I think I read where he purchased the car from Platt but I may be wrong.

    Yeah, I know. I looked thru some of the other threads he has. Man...there are hundreds of old pics there. Lots of the cars we saw at Ford South last year and many more. I just spent about 2 hours looking around. Very cool!
