Oh that 429 in a Falcon! Now that would be something sweet lol
I wanted an older Boss stang so bad, but everything I could find has been hotrodded or rusted out so bad it's not worth it. So I got a new one, chickened out lol Don't have the time right now for a project, passed up a 68 Stang Coupe at the first of the year, Great Price, but the rust, Man I can do anything to a car but I Hate Rust!!
The Mach 1 is the Last mustang I have liked until the new ones. That car just has Monster written all over it. My brother in law has a 71 Mach, and it's really in great shape, but it's just not right. That body is when they all went wrong. Its a great car, but it just isn't a stang.
hehe, side note, here's some fun if you get bored.
Back just out of high school, bout 81, my friends Mike, Chris and I took a 302 out of a pickup, and torched apart a 1968 Datsun Picup
Looked like this He had the 67 Goat, I had the Ranchero, other friend Chris had the 56 Ford F150.
Cut the firewall out, cut the floor pan mostly out, and stuffed the 302 in her. Strapped on a shortened 9" rear end with a pair of 50s on the back, and the 4 speed out of the truck. Had to sit kind of side saddle in it so you could work both pedals, which were heated and bent out of the way so they'd work.
Took 1 whole week to rip and rebuild that truck. We pulled it out onto the street one friday night after a few bottles of courage, I Lost the bet so had to take the first drive in it.
By the time I hit 4th gear, the tires had all but melted off and I was still pretty much near the driveway.
Took it back as it was Totally out of control and nearly impossible to drive. So, we torched some more and put an automatic on it lol that helped, a little.
Oh the good old days of being a country boy with Nothing else to do.
