5 litre Muscle Being Added To The Fleet - PIC

About 5 years ago we had this, got it for a fair price as it had many issues.



After some hard graft I got it back to how it should be but unforeseen circumstances meant that we didn't have it long and sold it at a loss, shame really as it was the other half's dream car since she was a teenager.

Here's the first pic of it's replacement.



302 5.0 HO V8.

66k Documented Miles
Brand New Power Roof
Black Leather with ivory piping
Steering wheel on the wrong side
8 Branch Magnaflow Exhaust system.

Will post some more up in a bit, got to nip out.

They do look disgusting. Such lazy engine/gearbox combination as well.

Dad's mate has one (hard top) nice noise, but that's about all it has going for it. Sorry.

Yep, not a fan of it's looks either.  The colour IMO makes it worse!  It's for the lady of the house and therefore to her it looks "beautiful".. She says my mk1 is ugly, who says woman have taste!?  :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, forgot to congratulate you on getting it right first time.

Trying my hardest to convince her that it needs lowering and rimmage.... may take a while!

They're pretty torquey to be fair but then it bloomin should be, I have to agree with you though.  Planting them on a straight and through tunnels is great, but that's about it.  Corners are a no go.. Right up the other halfs street.

This stang is like VW's marketing of the new golf R cabriolet.

FORD marketing - "sh!t lad's we've got a load of chassis and engines, what shall we do.... let's make a cabriolet!!"
