One night, I beat some guy in an '80s Monte Carlo with a huge cam. After we parked, he asked how big the blower was on my Mustang. I said it's a turbo. Wow, he says - a turbocharged 302? Nope. I opened the hood and showed him that little 2.3 down there. His friend starts laughing hysterically, and after staring at it for a few seconds, the poor guy said something I haven't forgotten.
"Well that's the best damn motor Ford ever built."
I doubt it. I sold it to a dude in New Orleans, and he sold it to a dude in Florida. As far as I know, it's still out on the east coast with a LOT more rust than it did when I owned it... which was zero
it was for sale a while back, but man, it was just too far gone for me to mess with
Then your car's doppleganger lives here in N. Texas!
We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.
My only other one that stood out was on Royal right up there by loop 12. I ran some dude in a green LT1 Camaro on a small shot and just did him ugly in front of everybody.
good times were had for sure
Awesome. Always dug that old Fairmont!
