    It would be perfect for a prostreet Stallion. You guys need to see that even though it is unlikely it will be restored to 1976 Ford original, it CAN live on as a Stallion. Just a Stallion on steroids.

    This Stallion would look cool with HUGE tires tucked underneath and a $40,000 hemi under the carbon fiber hood. Loads of stainless and colored anodized stuff all over the drivetrain maybe a 100% chromed engine. Crazy stereo, tilt front end, tube framed, back halfed with a 4 link and a full rollcage with leather Recaros colormatched to the overall paint scheme. Body repainted as original with flames around the Stallion emblem and running down the sides.

    I've seen a Superbird dragcar that was a real Superbird. It was a rusted hulk and the guy saved it. Not restored but still saved and an impressive conversation starter.

    Agreed but since you brought up Fiat you may want to have a look at FIAT's engine line up. I was shocked. 2.9 million engines produced per year.
    They also own Alpha Romeo,Masserati and Ferrari. Wouldnt mind one of those Fiat engines in my Mav.:)
    You can keep the Hemi though. Replaced too many.
