55F350- a bud of mine has a Cobra clone with a Roush small block in it. He let me drive it hard a couple months ago. I was trembling when I got out of it.. It was AWESOME!

Got to be a '40 Ford coupe--didn't buy the one I saw in San Antonio and kick my butt daily for not buying it--that body style is just ART

Back when I was just starting to drive if it rolled it looked good. I had a 71 Monte Carlo which was black on black with cragars and a 350. That car sure would get you where you were going in a hurry. At this time I saw a 56 F100 a few years ago and every since I,ve been smitten to have one. I cann,t wait to have my roll out the driveway. One thing else my goal is to have me a set of cragars on my 56.

Now have the 1ST-RIDE , the stock '52 F-1 under const .,the IN10SIT a 23 Ford T-Roadster w/ a '64 426 max wedge bored to 440 w/ '69 factory 440 six pack ,crank & rods .The only other vehicle that would ever make me real happy with the help of winning the lottery would be a Daytona Charger or a Hemi Super Bird

Yep--the 56 ford truck bug hits hard. Cragars are cool,and I have them on my 63 avanti. Although quality is crap now on them,and you have to check them for wobble.
I put a 400 small block chevy in my girlfriends 70 monte carlo and it ran awesome.
She never took care of it. It got sold and I saw it at Quaker City race track,racing it.

Favorite all time car would be a 55 or 56 crown victoria with the glass/or what-ever-it-is roof.
Favorite car I ever had, previous to my effie, was my 70 Torino with a SCJ429 4speed. Gawd I wish I still had that one!
Favorite present era car would be a black 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum with the biggest hemi available. Don't know why, but that's the only thing on the road that draws my attention.

I like these, too. 70 Torino for obvious reasons, Crown vic for their similarities to the '56 Mercury Medalist, and the Magnum....there's an all black one here in town that is really an eye catcher.

When I was growing old, not up. I always wanted the original bat mobile or the munsters car.

Only 1000 GT350H cars were produced. Very rare and highly sought.
