Way to go!! It's sitting kind of high in the front. I am guessing because there is no motor in it? If not, what a perfect place to drop a Turbo 4!! Congrats.

Yea, they improved greatly over the 71-73 boatstangs.

And yea, turbo engine in one of those would be sweet.

Fuuny YOU would say such a thing.... http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=21357 LOL!

Looks good, I was thinking more along the lines for 460. I am not a fan of those but Im sure you could make one look good, I like the business look of this one though. Those rears look little

Well, it WOULD be good to throw a 2.3T in there. :D

As long as you brought up using a 460.... okay, mine is a 429, but I still like it. And this motor isn't for sale. lol.

Ah so that's the '57;)

Is that a regular (Thunderjet) 429 or a 429CJ?

thunderjet, it's just a regular 429, nothing exotic.

pegasus, sorry for the thread hi-jack. But, that II DOES need a turbo 4 in it! I'll keep my eyes open. lol.
