Hi Bob, Love it! You did a great job! Is it a real 427 car? Or did you restore it as such? Very nice job ether way! Only thing that would Or, That I would have done is put the close ratio Top-Loader 4 speed in her! That would have made it Just that much better! Thats just my opinion, But ALL Old and newer Mussel cars Must have a 4 Speeds or 5 or 6 speeds! As long as its a real gear banger and not the pussy Automatic! Hell, My wife would not even drive this with an Auto in it! Sorry! (o; But it is a very Nice car! I had a 61 Galaxy and a 64 and a 1/2 Galaxy convertible! Wish I still had them both! Fact, I am in the market to buy some of them cars here later this year! I Still have my 66 Mustangs Fastback 4 speed, and 68 Cougar that was my X Wifes and has a Blower on it now! and is getting a 6 Speed put in it next! my 70 Maverick we built out of a crashed 1969 Boss 302! 4-Speed! My 70 Torino GT 351 was built fast for the 2000 Power Tour! Its got a Slush-a-matic! It was my Mom’s Car (God Bless her! The original little old lady from Pasadena! She would blow you in the dirt!, Off a stop light at the drop of a Hat! LOL! She loved that car and drove it till the day she passed.) Bought it for her in 1972! But its getting a 5 speed this time around! (o: I got most of my cars when they where new or a year or two later! I worked at Ford for a number of years! and I have the Ford Bible that tells every make model and what options came available on them and the Part Numbers for every ford built from 1957 through 1974! has every stage of Ford Engine from a stock 2 V 225 HP 289 to the 271 HP version in the GT, To the 308 HP Version that came in the 66 GT-350 Shelby’s! With all the specks and part numbers! (I had one of them and I sold it in 77 because of my now X wife! I know who’s got it! And I’m trying to buy it back for 3 times the money of course! LOL! If I would have it to do over again I would have kept the car and got rid of her then! Hark the Raven! Never More!) From the 390s to every version of 406 -427 side oiler, Low riser through high riser through Tunnel port! And all the 427 Camers! And all the options including the setup for the GT-40! The real one! Not that plastic wanna be GT! I built and sold a lot of em! and now I’m going to start buying and keeping! Least until I can’t push in the clutch! and turn the manual steering! Any more! I live in Phoenix, AZ and None of my Hot Rods have AC and Never will! These cars where not Made to be comfortable! They where made to be ruff riding, Gear banging, Tire squealing, Bad Ass Fast! And Beat your opponent! And that’s the way All mine are and will be for the rest of my life! Then some marshmallow light foot can pussy wip all of em cause I won’t care! LOL! (o; I even have a 1968 Chevy Camero Z-28 302 4 Speed all numbers match! Hay, I love all Mussel Cars and it makes it nice to know your opponents limitations! LOL! Very Nice car! Thanks for shearing! Don’t mind my 4 Speed comments! Its just the way I grew up! And the way I was taught! By some old NASCAR! Gear heads! LOL! Its all Good! Take Care! But! Always Have Fun! (o;
