Ever hear of a 1965 Shelby Cobra, 427 Side Oiler ?....I think they were first on race day a few times.

I love the 65 "Cat." My Uncle had one and it was some car. When that 4 barrel opened, you needed to be tethered to a gas tanker,,,,,but that car rolled!! Brings back many, many great memories.

now maple ill forgive the fact your canadaian and you wouldent know a good truck if you felll on it but damnit now you leave my fords alone or we are gonna have issues. pa is ford man territorry we all have a trusty rusty round here and 95% OF them circled what they did right. (for you who have never seen a ford its enblem is a oval so we joke they circled what they did right) besides you missed 2, lol

found on russsian dump.
found on roadside dead.

I'm a Mopar man, but Ford did a few things right: The assembly line, the Model T, the flathead engine, the 427 Cobra (side-oiler), the 289, 302, 351W(M)(390), 460, the Mustang, the Thunderbird, the Bronco, the Crown Victoria, Twin I-Beam suspensions (especially the ones that took kingpins instead of ball joints) and the Lincoln posi-track rear end all comes to mind. I'm sure there's more...

I'm a car guy. There are great cars from many manufacturers. Nothing like the venerable 426 Hemi. Elephant motors are incredible. I have a friend that just stuffed a Ray Barton 500 Ci, 780Hp hemi into a 1968 Dart. Incredible to see.....

Explain the mustang from 1979-1988 please. I'm a huge old car fan. If I had the space and money I'd be restoring one right now. Muscle Car magazine was my Playboy in high school, without all the tissues. But for now necessity trumps desire, and I fortunately chose right for my current car. It's the first one I've bought with my OWN money, 1986 Toyota MR2 that gets about 35mpg highway and gets a lot of compliments and "wtf is that?" looks. So far I've successfully convinced 4 people it's a Ferrari I'm restoring. It's red with a black hardtop/bumper/sideskirts, ebay wheels, BC Racing coilover suspension, race header and exhaust, and black interior with blue seats lol. It's an auto-x BEAST.

Wait just a hold on! So you guys are saying there are actually companies that make cars other than Ford!? Why would you buy one of those?

Sort of a Coors can with the motor and a four speed. But my first Car was my 1965 Buick wildcat with 455, now that car was a blast and bought for only 200 bucks. Boy the good old days.

Nice...my friend had the same car but with dual quads !!!
