Hello all, just joined after getting a new toy. I had a 73 when I was in college and sold it right about the time my son was born. Always said I would get another but as with most things life happened and it took a while(my son is now 22). Really got the itch to get another one this spring when I picked up our son from college and on the way home stopped at the Corvette museum, we got home and I told my wife about it and spent the next few months looking. She was fine with it as long as I sold some of my other cars. So yesterday my new car to me car showed up. It is a 77 white with dark brown interior. Now I really need to work on selling some of my other cars as I have 6 in my garage. I'm sure I will have questions and I imagine you guys will have good answers.

Looks great,and very clean. What is in the '65 Tbird? A 390 or a 428?


By the way, my 428 '70 Mustang is that same blue. It is called Acapulco blue.

The Bird has a 390, Ford made just over 120 Birds that they stuffed 427's in from 63-65. I had a 70 with a 429, and some others with 460's. I grew up around Birds having nearly 40. Im down to just 3 now
