Love this '65 Ford. My first car was a 'vert like this (except mine was that Champaign color).
Everyday is a car show for you.
And with a 348/409! Nice!View attachment 1715707002
Saw this on the freeway around noon. The driver is way back and you can’t see him.
It just so happens to be.Is that the Mighty Mojave Desert I see in the background?
Now THERE’S something you don’t see every day - a Boss 225!Also another rare find, only in OC....

Its funny, when I was in like 4th or 5th grade I though i lived in the most boring retirement town with only stupid hondas with straight pipe exhausts; that was all i saw when going to school. But, in the last two years, I made friends with one guy because on the way home form school, I saw the 440 powered austin in his garage. (that garage pic w/ the ALF on the supercharger) Then, he introduced me to his friends, and his friends to their friends, etc. Now I know that i live in a sleepy retirement town with a bunch of badass old guys who finally have the time to build the cars they always wanted. (and it just so happens most of them are mopars.)<~~~~~ Former desert rat his self

Love the Austin gasser, and i'm glad you mentioned the 440. I guess i didnt look close enough, i would have swore it was a small chevy. Kudos to him, for doing something different!Its funny, when I was in like 4th or 5th grade I though i lived in the most boring retirement town with only stupid hondas with straight pipe exhausts; that was all i saw when going to school.

Its a stroker too, 512, 6-71, hilborn mechanical injection. That's a mock up block in it, he used to be a custom car painter in the mid 60s, had a shop on whittier and everything. But, the engine that IS going into it is chamelion painted. it shifts like crazy, and is just insane.Love the Austin gasser, and i'm glad you mentioned the 440.
