@Tcoat I was thinking of your search the other night, and what a spread it is between a big block Dart and a Corvair. I got to thinking about other cars that were cool, but a little "against the grain", and kept coming back to a '67-'69 Firebird with the OHC 6 and a stick. Maybe a Sprint pkg. Cool, unique, and underrated. Get a manifold, throw 3 deuces on it, add a header(s), re-curve the distributor, and go have fun.

Back in the day the hot setup was the 300 cu.in. Ford inline 6 cyl. Truck engine. forged steel crank with 7 main bearings. A good deal of 289 Cobra parts were interchangeable. Rods,valves,springs,etc. I've seen setups with 3 weber 2bbls and Mercedes Benz Bosch FI. The Bosch FI engine in a older mustang ran 148mph at Bonneville. |

Those 300s are torquey. could be fun in an early 1st gen Mustang, falcon, or a Maverick.

I got a friend who is going to be selling his 1970 GTX, 440 4 barrel, all original, around 82k miles. He mentioned he was going to ask 35k and hoped to get 30, or something like that. I don't know if that's good or bad, but thought I might throw that out to ya.

Looked them up and if he is only asking $30K he is way cheap! Anything at all half decent seems to start at about $40K and they pretty much only go up from there.

He needs to look at the prices. They have gone way up for some reason.

Wonky suspension poppy cosh that’s crazy talk 😂😂😂 the 64 had a transverse leaf spring in the rear. I have a 64 coupe and I’ve never had any jacking issues at all. I run a pretty aggressive rear camber but still zero issues!

I had a '61 Corvair and a '64 convertible back in the 70's. Always wanted a 2nd gen turbo, and have been looking at them lately but I just don't have anywhere to put another car, especially since I am considering getting a twin for tracking (and keeping the Supra and our other two vehicles). I still look though, so I will let you know if I see a 65-69 convertible in good condition. Good luck.

I don't have the slightest clue what this is supposed to mean.
