This is my mates neighbours car. He's only 22, not bad for a first car! 351, can't remember if it is a Windsor or Cleveland. Had a 2 barrel, now new intake and 4 barrel. Bench seat car. Gerry

Super cool so good to see the Kids of today still enjoying the classic's especially a Starsky & Hutch clone.....
and if that is their family property, there is a lot of land and out buildings for projects.. wicked.

No that's my mates place. You can see the garage in the rear shot. That's where all the magic happens, or did, for now. The young guy is a farmer, so must be getting a good deal through the farmers union. This was last Oct.

My 12 year old son drove one of these a few weeks back and got up to 50 mph. He said it was better to drive than the Lamborghini Gallardo. I think he wants one when he's 22.

Don't know the mileage, engine is out and now 30 over so should have some get up and go. Haven't been down in a year the way things are.
