Gorgeous black vinyl interior. She's powered by a 390, with a Tri-Power setup, cast iron headers, rebuilt C3AE-C heads, dual point 427 distributor, high lift cam, a Moroso 9qt oil pan and an aluminum radiator from Crites. All of this backed by a C-6 and 4.57 gears in the rear. My future plans are a Crites teardrop hood, a 3500rpm stall converter and an overdrive tranny. Possible appearance plans are primered black with flames and Radir wheels with a stance like a true Lightweight. |

This is my 1967 Galaxie. It has a 289 with ported heads, headers .500 lift cam, headers and MSD ignition. Not a powerhouse but keeps things a little interesting. You might see me cruising around the Kansas City area. The most unique feature on the car has to be the interior, it is red and white tuck and roll, some love it, some hate it all I know is it is fun. |

Perrty much stock at present but the 390 will have a new cam, mainfold and carb betfore the summer.
I have replaced or rebuilt almost all the skin panels and radiator saddle over the years I have owned the car, about 23 years. Added disk brakes last year and best move so far.

Bought her early August 2010, came off the boat from LA in late 2009 and was a black plate car there, one owner. Not restored, just well kept. Totally stock apart from a respray in Rangoon Red (factory Raven Black car). 352, cruise-o-matic, 3.00 9" rear. And as you can see, she's already had her first professional photo shoot!
No reals plans for her - the wife says I can only spend money on her when it's required, so for the time being I'll just cruise around in her, enjoying the pointing, gesticulating and open mouths from other motorists. :) |

Bought in October '06 so I haven't got much done yet. New carpet and seat vinyl. Just got my block back from the machine shop. Will have 268H cam, with flat-tops and a Wieand Action +. It's going to be my daily driver so I'm keeping the engine mild. I'm not going anywhere near show winner but it'll turn some heads. |
