Non-FE Discussion Forum / 385 series Galaxie build

« on: January 23, 2021, 10:00:37 AM »

Nice car but the owner seemed to go 385 purely based on price. Surely, at this level of tune, a 520c.i. Lima CAN'T be cheap. What are we talking dollar wise between the two platforms?

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Does anyone have experience with upholstery from Dearborn Classics?

« on: May 14, 2020, 06:43:02 PM »

I remember reading that SMS auto interiors had a 19% off sale due to Covid. I called them and got a quote for $849.00 for a 1963 Galaxie 500 front bench in vinyl. Today I looked at Dearborn Classics site and they want $364.49 for the same seat cover. Can the SMS seat be twice as good, and then some, than the DC product? Just wondering. Thanks, Val.

FE Technical Forum / Fine examples of Concours level restorations on these old Fords.

The prices might be pie in the sky but, there's no disputing the quality of a Donald Allen build. Top Flite.

FE Technical Forum / Yesterday's minor damage.

« on: June 19, 2019, 09:13:26 PM »

Went for a 50mi. drive yesterday and on the way back, a heavy rapping sound came on while I was turning left on a 6 lane road. I saw full oil pressure was was able to limp it onto the gravel shoulder 250ft. clear of the busy intersection. Had it flat-bedded home without issue (thanks Hagerty Plus). Here's what I found. Not gonna badmouth these old Doves... being 25yrs. old and on its 3rd motor. Rube Goldberg would surely approve.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Question for the Mustang guys...

« on: March 07, 2019, 03:59:14 PM »

I thought a Drag-Pack car always had an oil cooler. Today, I helped a friend set up at an indoor car show. Met an old-timer with a 1969 Mustang GT Cobra-Jet Drag-Pack car. He said his Marti report said it was 1 of 1. 4.30 gear but no oil cooler. Was I wrong to think the cooler was mandatory? Educate me please.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Non- FE 1981 Dually Pickup on Kijiji.ca (Canada)

« on: February 15, 2019, 09:41:53 PM »

I know nothing about this truck. The term "original" must be explored here. I wanna believe it wears its factory paint.... FWIW, in American dollars its around 10K and mileage is less than 25,000. Great potential. JMO.
