At least you have a sense of humor, LOL!

This one was at Owls Head, Maine this year. It was 5S390. I owned 5S389.

At some personal risk, some Ford strong points:
Distributor up front
Sparkplugs visible
The starter solenoid was also in a better place.

Three best looking cars ever made in order:
  1. 1968-1972 Corvette
  2. Ford AC Cobra
  3. 1965-1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
  4. 2005-2014 Ford Mustang
I have three mustangs. Cobra is just too impractical with no heat or AC or proper top. So now looking for a C3

Grail #1 for me is a Lambo Muira then cars I have a shot at

73 911 RSR, have a 72 911E
have had 8 Mustangs from 67, 69, 88,91,92,93,95,2012 all V8 manuals except the two my wife had early on, the 88 & 95. I also like a 63 Galaxie fastback would love to get my wife a 67 Chevelle 402/4spd convert like her dad had. Hard for me to choose between a C2&3 for my favorite Corvette. I’m looking into later C3’s due to the rule set in the series I wish to race in but I like the earlier Chrome bumper cars better. No auto whatever it is. My 72 is at the paint prep stage after a year in the shop.

I miss the Sunday Labor Day show at Lime Rock, best in the NE in my opinion. Moved south in 2015 so have not been there since...enjoy the show! I love how they organized cars by brand around the track.

Ah, sorry we will not connect. I'll be there on Saturday. If you come across a 1968-1972 or even 1973 Vette with a 427, 454 or other Hi-Po motor (not a high strung 350), don't hesitate to PM me. I don't car about number matching. I will make it a race replica anyway. My price range max is $28k
