New purchase update

K so dad bought 6 vehichles finally got to see them but didn't have camera but here is a run down (warning not all Fords)

1) 1983 Ford F150- has a 351W auto ext. cab longbox. Apprantly it runs great but have not had a chance to start it body is average.

2) 1982 Chevrolet 1500 pickup- 350 auto not running but it looks like it was well taken care of great orignal paint but overrear fenders rust starting to show

3) 1977 Mercury Grand Marquis- 460 auto this car is in really great shape lots of chrome very little rust, I kinda want to sell it to someone since there is not a dent on it and has obviously been stored inside. i would hate to demo derby it so anyone want it?

4) mid seventies Dodge bus- 318 5spd ya its a bus dad planning on using for storage anyone need a 318 motor?

5) late 1960's Oldsmobile 88- dad bought it for another demo derby car but it turns out it has a 455 Rocket in it and that is one kickass motor whoever says it isn't and s%^& my c!*%

6) 1952 Ford F5- complete and I think I'm gonna see if I can make it into a project right now I have a wrench and a winch keeping pressure on it trying to unseize it.

Hopefully I can get pcs of the Fords up on next week.

Need some real muscle for that wrench?

Sounds like some neat cars. That 77 merc sounds cool, I wouldnt mind seeing a pic of it if you ever get one. Not even close to my kinda car though, too big and bulky and that whole ugly late 70's styling just aint my cup of tea.

LMAO about the olds 88. Priceless man

i agree with the 455... nice finds for the most part

my wifes uncle has a 61 f100 with a 355olds and t400 trans combo... as much as i don't like that, the thing goes like a raped skunk.
