How did I miss this thread? I'd like to say something about the cars I like in this thread, but that is All of them! Good work/projects guys.

71 Cougar XR7 drop top , which I understand there were less than 3000 made. Surprised me as I thought there would be a Lot more.
Never been big on Fords, but overall am starting to warm up to them. Engine was long gone, and had a c6 just hanging in, so bought a donor fuel injected 5.0 car after searching hi and low for a 5.7 with no success.

In this pic, have the new engine trans and remade driveshaft in with temp wiring, and had driven it under its own power for the first time. Not a long trip as it was just out of the garage, but had a huge smile nonetheless.

You didn't miss min munch
 
And my other project, a Sunbeam Alpine with a fuel injected chevy V6 and 5 speed. Most difficult project ever(and that's saying something). Its quick as can be and barks the tires in the first 3 gears. And even though its been a chore and there's still stuff to do it is by far one of the most fun cars Ive ever driven.

When I got it, it was the definition of a basket case, along with misc boxes of stuff which I hoped was fairly complete as parts aren't at orielly....

its all in the paper work and history of car..if he bought it last year i would be concerned but if it has been owned by the same person for a few years it not a worry..unless it is sold by third party

I always get a T22b either from the seller or just as quick as I get it home. don't know why GA has a thing about titles, but titles would be better than a bill of sale imo.

i have had the bronco 21 years and drive it regularly , had a flat ,no spare ,so it got a ride
I swapped in a fuel injected 5.0 from a 90 mustang and a 5 speed from a 2001 wrangler , disc brakes from a 76 blazer, seats from a Miata .
Have a fuel injected 351W from a 96 van ready to go in

The K-10 has a Arizona state issued VIN , all ID numbers are missing from frame body and engine so we're not sure what year it is

It has a 76-77 cab , doors are 73, radiator support is 80 ,interior is 82

We added TBI from a 1990 and then a 5 speed from a 2006 Silverado .
And 3/4 ton axles from a 84
It's will need a new engine soon

And my 17 yr old son has this Chevy
 
1986 CUCV 29k miles great shape
Adding couple items to interior
