My favorites would have to be any 1st Gen mustang, and the Fox chassis cars.

Any old fast Mercury or Lincoln

One i'd definately love to own is a Lightning...going fast, and a pickup, what could be better?

When I was a wee lad, our next door neighbor's daughter had a boyfriend with a red 68 KR convertible. Tan top, black interior. I can remember going for several rides in that brute with Rhonda and the BF (Can't remember his name--just remember being upset when she broke up with him! No more rides in the Beast! )

My list of favorite Fords:

Ones I've owned or still own--

1965 Mustang 289, Auto--STILL kicking myself for selling it.
1966 Mustang 200, Auto--Great little car; gave her life to keep me alive
1979 LTD Landau 351--Had a great ride; another one I miss
1989 Merkur XR4Ti--Pretty much has it all, performance, handling, and comfort
1990 F150--Has only left me once (bad starter); I'd definitely have another one

Ones I'd like to own--

1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
1979 Thunderbird
2003 F150 Lightning
1968 GT500
1967 427 Cobra s/c
Any GT40 (even though I won't actually FIT in one!)
Sierra RS Cosworth
Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth
XB Falcon GT Coupe
Lincoln Mark VII LSC (with a 5-speed, though)
1989 Thunderbird SuperCoupe
1989 Taurus SHO
2003 Mercury Maurauder
SHO Star concept
1990 Merkur XR4Ti concept (supposedly about a dozen produced, then scrapped. Thanks Dearborn! )

And Finally--

Skyline GT-R (Okay, not a Ford, but I still want one!)

GT 40 Mk 11 (1,2,3 at LeMans in '67 and World Champion)

65 Shelby Cobra (289 or 427)
65 Shelby Mustang 350R (34 made)
69-70 Boss 429
69-70 Boss 302
2004 Ford GT (500hp/500lbs trq)
32 Ford roadster w/ hot V-8 flathead (it started it all)
93, 95, or 00 Cobra R (OK, I'm biased)
Any Super Duty

I think you mean the 427 side oiler/428SCJ. They evolved from the FE family of engines (1958). Also called long-shirt (the block/heads are 'high' when you look into the engine compartment). They (427) were in the Shelby Cobras (and trucks until the mid-70's). The block had oil passages on the side of the block (dry-sumped on a Cobra).

They were replaced by the 385 family. This big block was introduced in 1968 on the T-bird and big cars and then 68 1/2 on the Mustang. [428CJ]
One of the fastest of the 385 family is the 429SCJ [mechanical cam, 11.5:1 comprssion,etc.
The oil system is like today's [at the bottom of the block]. It has been bored and stroked to 460 and above.

You can find several books on the Ford big blocks (as well as Ford small blocks). It makes great reading on a winter day.
