Classic Car guys

[FishReaper]

How many Classic car/pickup/tractor guys do we have on here? I know I cant be the only gear head.

This is my 71 F250. Currently 360 FE. Saving up to do a stoker out to 445 CI from the FE block. Plan to fix the rust holes and maybe repaint the factory color



The wifes 1960 IH B110. Currently sitting up at her grandpas farm. Plan to get it home and do a crown vic front end swap and throw in a 302 and c4 for her. Might clean up the paint and just clear it as the paint is. Should be a fun project once i get her home

Anyone else got some projects or just some nice old rides?

I have an 86 gmc sierra half ton that I'm starting on. Picked up a 400 small block and tore it down. Block and crank are at the machine shop getting prepped for a build. Can't Flippin wait to get it done and put in the truck.

I have a 1966 mustang with a punched out 289 and a 4 speed close ratio T-10. Doesn't run so good anymore and I have only driven it 250 miles in the last 5 years.

My passion for making the mustang fast has been replaced with my passion for making this fast!

 

[Fishmission]

that 350 should already be smoking fast. Nice mustang

Funny this topic came up, fishing buddy of mine just bought this # matching 66 396 SS 4 speed chevelle today as a matter of fact.



My brother has a nice little 67 RS/SS 396 convertible.



I miss my 69 SS, some day I plan on getting another one. Some day sooner rather than later.

Got a few, this one is a pretty bad bitch and those 289 badges are only there for decorations. 11.90's in a shifter.

I've got a 64 Willys Traveler. It's got a 350, SM465/NP205, Dana 44's with 4:88's a spool in the rear and Detroit up front.

Been driving and working on it for about 23 years now. I'm rebuilding it again and have the engine, rear alxe, trans/X-fer case and front axle finished. I'm down to the new wiring from the firewall forward.

It makes a great shooting bench too!

What's actually under that hood???

Good thread! I don't have a classic car (sad face) but I would like a 69 or 70 chevelle someday. I keep telling my wife that my midlife crisis needs to hurry its ass up!

1969 Dodge Dart 340, rebuilt a 340 stroked to a 416, going to be installing soon

I hear you KW, 68/69 Chevelle or Camaro. Buddy of mine collects mustangs and has a whole shop full of them.

I have had a few classics 65 chevelle SS. 69 olds 442 with w30 package and 455. 65 ford fairlane xl with 289. Wrecked the first one, sold the second one, and gave the third one away. Also had a 72 gmc pickup that would put them all to shame. Parked the pickup after 150 thousand miles and someone stole it out of the shelter belt, drug it 3/4 miles cross country and loaded it on a trailor, never seen it again. If they wanted it that bad they could have asked and I could have saved them a lot of trouble.

Sub Elect,
If you ever decide to sell the 66 Mustang get ahold of me please. Had a 66 Mustang identical to this when i was in high school. First car that i totally bought and paid for myself. Ended up selling it to a guy that kept bugging me for it ;:;banghead and he only had it a short time and ended up rolling it and totaling it out. Damn i miss that car!

 

[Wild and Free]

Had a few over the years but nothing anymore all newer stuff now but my current toy not a sports car is an odd one a 2011 Nissan Murano cross cabriolet. nothing says odd like an AWD cross over convertible.

Had a 1970 Monte carlo with factory 402 that was all restored except for paint but that was about the time I became a home owner for the first time and needed funds for life and car had to go.
My other classic was a 1966 GMC 2wd with a built 350 and auto trans conversion was a fun ride and my first ride.
Would like to build a rat rod someday but having been a mechanic my whole career kind of kills the drive to want to come home and work on my own stuff. Some day i would love to have a late 60's to early 70's Caddy Eldorado convertible.

I would like a resto-mod someday. Old school look with new school handling and drivetrain.
