RE: *ahem* Found this on the 'stang forums
'75 1/2 TA. Mid year revamp with 455 HO, Super T-10 4 speed. Put a set of Ram Air IV Heads, Ram Air IV Cam, Forged Pistons/Rods .30 over, 800 Holley. That thing screamed for more, burnouts in all 4 gears with stock 3:23 posi rear. This stock setup blew away a friend of mines '74 455 SD. Before I even hit 3rd gear he was parking his car. He kept swearing to people I was running a fogger somewhere.
Don't get me wrong, I love the styling of all the old muscle cars, and love the fact that Detroit is bringing them back. I owned a '68 Mustang fastback (beautiful car). However, it was Fix Or Repair Daily. It probably didn't help that I bought the car all original in 1989 for $1200 with only 68000 miles on it from a lady that bought it new. It still had the original spark plug wires, hoses, etc. I think the only thing she did was put new tires and battery. I turned it to a LT who restored it for show. I made enough to fund my TA project.
I'm a diehard MOPAR fan after years of playing with all these cars. I've had the most fun with MOPARS, and love the E-Bodies. I picked up my '70 Challenger for $300 last year. Doing a full resto on it with some new mod twists. The only other car I'm going to add to my collection will be the '71 Cuda.
