havent seen that one in my neck of the woods or at any shows around denver

i got the car from my brother, perhaps he wrote it to mess with my head !!

my 72 grande has the numbers 46 and 2669 hand written in what appears to be a paint pen on the top of the radiator support. i suppose a line worker wrote them on thier in dearborn in 1972? wonder if anyone else has this and any idea what it means?

i personally like all cars from the 50's 60's and 70's. i had a 69 mercury marauder x-100 which was an outcast among outcasts in the car magazines etc. yet anywhere i took it it got more attention the my 67 chevelle i had at the time. honestly i dont concern myself with peoples opinion. i would...

welcome and great progress on your project!! that cleveland cleaned up nice! i better get going on mine, it looks like the before picture!!

here in colorado we are under attack by the moth migration. they seem to have a knack for kamakazee attacks on my face. had one go full speed into my eye at work.they really go after my wife.think they can sense she hates them and it invigorates them to mess with her. hope they move on soon!!

wow! thought i was the only old car guy in the nieghborhood. a few blocks over sits a 69 torino with a script on the rear which says cobra.it's in the driveway and has expired montana plates. it's kinda rough. cubic inch badges missing from factory hoodscoop. r code 428 possibility? this next...

all i have left is the motor mount bolts(i hope,allways seems like a hose or something is forgotten) and the motor and tranny are ready to come out. i"ll be removing it with a hydraulic engine hoist and a lift plate mounted to the intake manifold where the carb goes. can i get away with removing...
