I have been a F/L/M guy as long as I can remember. The first beast was a second hand '73 MX Brougham HT. The first trip to the wrecking yard was for the front & rear stabilizer bars. The second for a set of Magnum 500s and new shoes. Great ride until a drunk took it out.
After apprenticing with a Ford master mechanic I opened a repair and restoration shop for F/M intermediates and the 62-66 Lincolns that operated until 1985. I think I can disassemble and reassemble a '72-'75 Torino or Montego blindfolded. I help maintain friends vehicles when I can. Wife's ride is a fully restored '72 Ranchero 500 w/GT hood and interior. I just refreshed with a 351CJ & Twisted flow heads, 500 ft/lb C6, and new exhaust. Nothing she can't haul now! My (parked) ride is a '73 Montego GT that was a showroom car. It has a rock stock 351CJ , and factory 4 speed & ram air conversion, and is under restoration. Cheers! Stuart |
