not a torino, it's a Mercury Cyclone Spoiler!

Thanks to all who have served and given for this country and our freedoms.
I will tip a glass in your honor today.

Had no clue what it was, looked like a Torino from the side, but couldn't figure out the swoop nose.

Ford and Mercury built a few of those as prototypes. They never went into producution, there are only one or two of each around.

Goodmorning Guys,

Happy Tuesday....Have a great day!

I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend.
We went to the Fernley Veterans Memorial Cemetary yesterday on the Harley & met a few of our friends up there. Awesome Ceremony!
The ride there was great, but on the ride home I was praying to make it home safely because the wind was blowing so hard we were leaning sideways to keep the bike upright & in our lane. By the time we got back, we went to the bar & had a much needed drink. LOL!

Yeah, I remember now, Dodge came out with the Charger 500, then They came out with the flush nose Torino/Cyclone, and Dodge/Plymouth countered with the Daytona and Superbird. And of course, the next year NASCAR said enough is enough and they all went bye bye. Don't remember a swoop nosed Torino or Cyclone, but if it is indeed a prototype, then that would explain it.

Yep, that's what it was, couldn't remember the name! It was created my Ford designer Larry Shinoda, if I remember right.

morning everyone. Only 5 more times of having to get up this early to get the minion off to school.
I just want to go back to bed.
I have a couple people coming by so I can work on their cars so I need to wake up.
Trying to get some money to take the wife out for our anniversary this Sunday.
She thinks I have forgotten

Morning Greg. I know all about being up early. Up at 4:30 all this week. Ug. I get a break next week, I'll be working 8 hour shifts, so I'll get an extra hour of sleep. Hey, you'll be happy to know, new sub box wired in the garage, compressor is wired, and I'll be running outlets tonight. So, I might actuallly get to work on the 67 by this weekend!

Happy hump day Nevada FTE and friends.

Greg, well in 5 days the minion will be staying home to lend a hand on your truck project. And you can help her with her garden project.

Indeed. Also if I can convince Pat to go through his boxes of extra parts I might have plenty for the minion to help with Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...
