All the way to Greenfield? LOLIt sure did! Flattery will get ya everywhere!
I just realized you had the quote about cars meant to be driven not be dust collectors...I drive a 1965 commando 3 pedal barracuda with all the formula s options built in 1964 everyday until winter hits. I always get asked why I drive it so much. Really? I am with you brother...I bought it to drive it not look at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's a sweet little notch back you have there...thanks for the welcome. My best friend in the 80's had a barnfind 273 notch. we converted it to a 3 pedal car built the little 273 in his brother's garage. (He was a mustang guy...I think he was dropped when young)...but good engine builder nonetheless. narrowed a dana 60 and put a bottle in the trunk. stripped the car and painted a wicked candy blue from the house of colors. This car would flat out fly...this is when I first really knew there was nothing wrong with a mechanical lifter 273...and I have to give credit where credit is due...a 289 engine builder building a 273.Welcome from McHenry county!
Lots of info here, for sure.
