Just another typical day at the shop. .

It was about 450hp. It originally had fender well headers and side pipes which cost it about 40hp.
 
I'm always amazed at the quality and variety of vehicles you get at that shop! :drool:
 
You don't want to be here in the summer. Heck, I don't want to be here in the summer!

I can remember picking up Dad's shiny new Black/Red interior 1963 Galaxy 500 with a 390/4 on the floor. He launched it less than 20 miles from the showroom and the trans exploded. A month later went to pick it up again and same day trashed the rear end. Another month later picked it up, my step mother took the keys and said it was now hers. Never had another problem with it. Dad went with automatic big block Chevys from then on. What I'd give to find his '66 427 Caprice Wagon now. Awesome machine.

Very nice photos. After the past few days of subzero temperatures I'm ready for some heat outside. :wave:

There is a LHD one sitting down the road from me, out in the elements, just doing nothing... owner passed away, wife won't sell.
Probably talked to her 40x about it... sad cause they are stunners (and I am not even a Ford guy!)

Looks kinda like Max's Falcon XBGT doesn't it?
 
Probably a 70. Grille looks like a 70 vs a 71 but US versions have 2 headlights per side. Cobra would have a 429 possibly with a factory detriot locker and 4.30 gears.
 
Note: I am a Mustang owner (70 Mach1) and do not know this style car very well.

I guess that is Australian, and was imported into the U.S.? I would also guess being 70 or later it is likely a 351 Cleveland? Am I correct?
 
Front grille, fender extensions, lower valance are not of US version. The 351 Cleveland was first available in the Torino in '70(as was the 429). Earlier ones had the 302, 351 windsor and 428's.
Very nice looking for sure.
