    Just finished my ultimatecar!

    What do you think? It took me over 3 years to make. It started as a beater, stored for 18 years in a garage. It's running a 351W stoked to 372ci makes 325 hprw with a t-5 transmission with 3:50 gears in the rear. It hooks up pretty good too.

    Awesome machine ... I'm really envious. I suppose you get this all of the time, but sometimes here we have people who lie about the cars they own (a sad, sad world, I know ). We have a little system here where we get people to put a piece of paper with their username on the gear shifter as evidence that it is their car. If you have the time to do it, it would make us even more jealous and possibly friendly Again, nice machine.

    yeah, what are the rings....never seen that on an original. (welcome to UCP of course )

    Edit. I take back the first remark, I shot this one at last years Christies auction in Monterey.

    Nice car, but an Egg Nog Test would make it even better.

    Put a piece of paper on the shift knob w/ 67gt500 written on it, then take a few pics. Go to the user rides section for some examples. (I personally don't believe you as of now, but I always play the sour grapes role)

    The rings

    The rings are for the inboard high beams. I didn't mount the lights so I could get some more air to the rad....it's still the stock rad.( extra core though)

    it's a driver that makes it to the odd show

    I drive it every chance I have weather permitting. I've taken it to a few shows and had some fun with it. It gets thumbs up's all day long when I'm out in it!
