My old friend that I sold to finance my "Project Fireball" 1964 Galaxie.

I had the car for about 10 years and used it as a daily driver for 5 of those years with no glitches, even hauling numerous bags of cement, dirt, rocks, and a hell of a lot of concrete blocks. Yeah, I actually used it as a truck. Go figure.

It had a mild 302 backed by a T-10 4-speed tranny. Hood scoop was off of a '79 Mustang Turbo, made functional on this car. Old CalCustom hood locks. Roll-on bedliner. Bucket seats out of a '71 Cougar. '70 Torino side mirrors. US mags with knock-offs.

The engine swap was pretty much for the same reason I cut the hood to make the scoop functional: an engine fire that happened before I bought the car.

The 'Chero is but a memory now. Although a treasured memory, to be sure.

Hey thanks for the nice comments, need to get the ford finished still and the chevys all need some work too, I'd like to get the Nash done but need to see what I'll do after the other projects get done. Like your collection looks like a lot of nice cars
