    Have a new project.... Earl Branham and I went to Loganville this week to look at the 1967 Fairlane GT S code car (came facory 390, 4 speed) car still has 390 but was being changed to auto so I am looking for clutch pedal setup and top loader 4 speed. Still has the power dome hood. Car was delivered Friday. Bought the falcons going to sell them now but been on several sites with falcons and fairlanes and have yet to find one that is as active, friendly and has as great a bunch of guys as i have made friends here. Planning to stay a member as i still love the mavericks and comets and still hoping to find a Stabber one day.

    The guys in the truck are the delivery guys Booger and Tater.

    Cool car.



    So forgive me if I don't know, but do you no longer own a Maverick or Comet? I must have missed that.

    Nice project!

    I've got a RUG J1 toploader sitting in the shop... Haven't thought of selling it, but things happen.

    I remember seeing the exact same color car, 390/4spd sitting in a farmer's field for about six months, over 30 years ago. Thanks for the reminder.

    the canine doesn't miss much, does it?
