Lou Earle Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 Well after many trial and tribulations and also a lot of headaches- Here is Son's 68 Mustang fastback as Willie said "On the road again" The old 351 Windsor wore out- by the way not a lot of those laying around ( originally this had a 390 s code car- remember Bullet- Steve Queen? his was a 390) But 390 are not the best bully's on the block. But this little 351 Windsor with a 650 Holly mild cam, Duals and 5 speed overdrive stick trans out of an 85 mustang is really the bad boy on the block around here. He loves it . By the way - If you have a son who likes noise get him the loudest pipes u can - my boy is thrilled at noise - sound like 90 mph but doing 45 -. Anyway when u were a kid like him bet u did not want a flatter six did u? I had a 48 Plymouth 4 door as my car and naturally wanted a 57 Chevy- Hated my p 15 but now love them and have 5. Times change and although this might surprise u -- so do we!! Lou [ Quote
Ed Griffin Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 Great to hear you guys have it where you wanted it Lou. I've been waiting for you to post this for awhile. I hoped to see the license plate I painted on it when this day came but I assume you have your reasons. Either way, great looking car and something to be proud of. Now if I could just get my wife to let me drive hers Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Nice looking Mustang. Like that fastback model. As for the pipes. Well......my son is now 40 years old and has loud pipes on his 80 Firebird. You can hear that car coming about 3 blocks away the mufflers are so loud. Quote
PatS.... Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 That's a beauty, Lou. My brother-in-law still has the 70 Mach 1 he bought new out of high school. Everyone though he'd wreck it in a month...still has it and still nice cond. I had a flattie then and I sure wanted something better !! I did get a 64 Marauder with a 390 after the Chrysler. Nicest road car ever. Quote
