Well I posted this last night but I went to submit and the server went down... So here it is again but all details left out, etc. I have a chance to buy a full 67 Ranger truck in great shape with only 2000 miles on it from my local rod club. It has a 428 and C6 in it. The tranny has a 2000 stall, shift kit, built up pretty strongly, etc. Motor has all new parts like water pumps, oil pump, motor mounts, etc etc. The list goes on with what is done. Ok well I am wanting to pro street my 66 and take it off the road but then I will not have a daily driver anymore. So this is what I am thinking, if I do not get this 1929 Ford that you guys know I am looking into then I am thinking of getting that truck and make that Ranger just for racing. No insurance to pay, no worrying to keep it on the road all the time, nothing.
Ok I can do that and get it for a great price (cheaper than building a FE and C6 for my 66) or I can buy a 460 and C6 from a guy for 250 bucks if he still has it and rebuild both and put it in the 66 and keep the 66 on the road. Hard to explain this here but anyways, here is an update on that 29 too for those of you following along before.... I cannot get the guy to meet me to see the car. Not sure why, but he is gone all the time for work, etc and I am tired of waiting. I feel like it's all BS and I am waiting for nothing so I am going to straighten that out with him and ask him if he is really serious about selling and if not then to tell me so I can move on.
Well thanks a lot for any info on this guys and sorry for the long post.
