fresh find 600!

lol yea i was considering something like that. put a turbo 2.3 up front with a T-5, and a rediculously narrowed nine inch. all on a tube chassis of course. then again, this is a pretty rare car around here and i would hate to mess it up like that. it'll all come down to how easy parts are going to be to find.

I had a cute little blue '58 600 I bought new, Ford Kid. I loved it.

40 mpg was a snap, but I never managed to get fifty mpg out of it. I came close once on a trip from Fort Worth to Austin (I'll admit that I drove about 55 all the way with a healthy tail wind).

I'd like to have one like it now!

I used to have a '59 in the early 60's. Loved that little car. Hate that I sold it. Have always wanted to transplant a 140 hp Corvair engine/transaxle with fender flares to cover the tires and softer springs. Should be fun.

A friend of mine had one, it was a lot of fun. But with four of us kids on board, every dog in the neighborhood could out run us.
