Wow these cars are wicked!.
Wish I had the money back in the day.
Best I could do was take the motor and tranny out of
my 1968 gallexy 500 and drop it into my 1964 mustang body.
So I did.
She romphed let me tell you. Ran out of road before gas petal hit the
floor.
390 ci with a C6 automatic trans in a 1964 stang with a semi posi
rear.
Get up an gone. The camaros would take me off the line but once
I caught up and speed ohmeter pegged, I still had gas petel and we
ran out of road. So how fast were we goin' ? We don't know.
Wish I had pictures of it now.
I took a sledge hammer to the shock towers and cow to make room.
I fabracated 2 pieces of 1 1/2" channel iron welded together to buffer and
raise the moter mounts.
I cut the drive shaft down to like 2' 6" and asked my stepfather to weld
it together and balance it best he can.
He did.
I had to use a pair of vice grips to work for the Hearst Shifter I did not
yet have. It did, for a test drive.
I drove it up and down a five mile trek from the farm.
Come Monday morning, from Kobars Junk yard I bought a used Hearst
floor shift and installed it, then took the stang to Motor Veheicle for inspection.
Glass packs, side pipes, the car rocked from side to side at an idol, G50s
on the back, G70s on the front. Chrome.
They failed me for no rear view mirror.
Ok I'm cool with that.
What a car, those were the days.
