out the dealers door.

That was a fun watch. It didn't seem like much of a fair fight. Kind of like when you have the NASCAR video game set on "easy" [ddev.

It said "no music". Listening to that motor wind up was way better! Great video.

Only one car appeared to be any competition. He even blew away the Studebaker and the '55 Ford

That old family sedan sounded like a tiger on the track. And that is a beautiful
race course.

The 71 falcon (or xy as they're known over here) are a real cult car in the muscle car scene over here. They're a beautiful car.

Here's one that's now in my shed waiting for it's time to shine again. I've had this for the last 6yrs and slowly collecting the parts needed to get it happening. It will also be fitted with a 351.

Plus I also have a 71 Panelvan (not sure what you call them. They're like a high roofed sedan delivery I guess.

Ive fitted a v8 out of a 2002 model xr8 (which I'm told is similar to your mustang engines)

And I'm just about finished with the bodywork on it so it can be resprayed again. Just needs to have the rear windows filled so it looks less like a wagon

Those 351 Cleveland 4V were great engine. Never knew why Ford change them and made them the junk 351 M engine.
