Well, I finally pulled the cover off my old car. Now that I am back in the area, its time to dig in to her.
Facts:
Year - 1965
Make - Ford
Model - Custom 500
Engine - 240ci Inline 6
Transmission - C4
Rearend - 9"
Gears - 3.00
Ideas:
Short Term - I am going to replace the 240 with a 351W, backed by a C6. Good thing about that is I'm pulling the whole shebang out of a '84 F150, and its bolt in, except for the radiator, and motor mounts Full Autometer gauges. Shocks and springs. Dual exhaust.
Long Term - Bucket seats up front. 3.73 gears out back. Strip and repaint, get some new carpet, and replace the rusty, dented rear quarter panel, and trunk floor
The car has been sitting for 7 years, and amazingly enough has no more rust on it then when I left it to go into the Corps. It got stolen in '99 and hit in the rear quarter panel, as you can see. Beyond that the body is in perfect shape, factory undercoated, so no rust in the floor boards. I think it'll be fun
Anyone else got any other cool ideas? Nothing too radical, now.
