Paint looks nice. Did you have it painted? Which motor? 472 ci or 501ci?

Yes it was painted. It’s the 429ci. Car is immaculate.

5.3/4l60 swap. Truck was built and driven around Glendora in the 90's. It sat forever, and I ended up with it. 351 and chrome steel wheels, faded and sun beat. Messed with the chassis, got it straight and did the LS swap on my gravel driveway. Sold it to a guy that makes sheet metal patch panels, hasn't changed a thing. It paid for the concrete for my shop. Was the last really cool thing I've owned.

48 Ford. My Father bought it to chase parts for his Sinclair station in 1962. It bounced around and ended up back to our family in 1987. Sets on the showroom floor at the dealership. Inline 6cyl yet.

Hi Jerry,
Probably the Dodge or the Ferrari, but the Thunderbolt is definitely the most fun to drive.

I would've guessed the Dodge.

My original paint matching numbers 46,000 mile 69 Ram Air III 4 speed GTO Judge. It still had the original mufflers and tailpipes on it when I sold it. All original glass. Black and yellow plate and plate frames from the California dealer where it was purchased. I sold it to a close friend with right of first refusal.

That's a sick ride. A buddy has a 1970 GTX with a 440 six pack. All original

Beautiful cars and spread!

I have a good friend who is not doing well. His family wants to sell 2 of his cars, absolutely beautiful. What is the best avenue to sell them? 1940 & 1942 Ford’s completely and meticulously built.

 

[TonyFanelli]

Couple of on-going projects from the past I continue to work on

When my Father passed I had a friend with an old car retail shop rep some of the cars. I first got a value on them. The red 30 Hudson I tried to sell Jay Leno. He had to many projects going, but helped me with a value.

Here's one for you guys. This is a close friend of the family's car. Second owner (Bought it in 1971?) - 1966 Cobra SC 1 of 29 - currently being restored out in CA.

Been at resto for a couple years now - most likely going to auction after completion. This has been sitting in a garage for 40 years. Me, I would have probably left it like that and drove it.

Here's a few of mine and my fathers car / trucks.

1966 'vette original 327 4 speed car

1935 Chevy sedan - waiting resto /

Here's a '66 scout 800 I bought to do a project on. I sold it a few years ago as it sat in this pic - STUPID! At the time I didn't want another project to spend money on, so to avoid that tempt, I moved it out. I regret that decision, I could have just let it sit until was ready. It was in really nice shape considering, they are hard to find solid as they were notoriously thin and unprotected metal, they would rot away pretty easily. Wish I could get that one back.

1962 Chevy pickup - 454 5-speed & full independent suspension.

@ PITT International raceway - parade laps at lunch break

1934 Chevy coupe - just got it on the road this year

Found more pics of the Cobra coming out of body work & paint

A 33 That my dad and I built. I have the car now since his passing.

I’d love to have that one too.

A yellow ‘67 Plymouth Satellite may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I like things that are a little unique. I’ve owned this for over 20 years now. It was a 100% stock time capsule 383 car when I got ahold of it. It’s now pretty much a dedicated drag strip car. Every single bit of work to get it here has been done by my hands. Motivation is a 468” B-Series Big Block / 727 / D60. Car has run 10.42@129.

Tbolt will beat the Dodge, but defiantly worth watching the challenger owners cry

 

[Maw]

I love the "traditional" motor instead of the "belly-button" choice installed by most folk.
