Fox Mustang. 460BB. C6.
That'd do it!

Very nice! The mill looks very compact!



I've never got past the cars in Grafitti and Bullit and the one ride compounded by watching Martin Bonner pound his high riding 55 Chevy round the streets of London I'd have to go modernish 55.

Reality for me with very low outgoings and possible Spanish sojurn would be a 55 Chevy in a Troy Trepanier style with LS motor.

This aint Troys work, just a nice car

I am currently building my future dailly driver. Here are the specs.
Ground up resto of a 63 c10 swb fleetside
1.chassis is standard apart from boxing in and tubular suspension arms
2. Full air ride
3. Power steering
4. Front disc conversion
5. Tuned ls1 on stand alone ecu
6. 4l80e trans with ez tci controller with switchable auto or manual paddle shifting.
7. Rear axle is fitted with 3.73 and eaton lsd
9. Hidden towbar for pulling trailers and the caravan to shows.

Could easily keep up with modern traffic, reasonable fuel economy and generally quite practical. My now ex-wife took it when she left, I do miss the pickup.

like the fact you miss the pick up more

The Falcon with the 2.0l and six speed sounds good. Got a soft spot for the Falcon.
