YES. So much this ^^^^^
That alone is a good enough reason to avoid it. I think that would annoy me to no end
Understood, yeah that gets annoying fast it would seem like.

You mentioned some very neat..... killer cars...... I almost bought a '61 Starliner as my first car.... it had a 406.... Black.......I/we never purchased a vehicle for other than utility. Just purchased for present needs.
First car 1951 Mercury four door.
Second car 1950 Mercury convertible.
Third car 1953 Oldsmobile Convertible.
Fourth car 1961 Ford Starliner.
Fifth car 1963 Ford pickup. (first new new vehicle)
Sixth car 1963 Ford 2-door.
Sixth car 1970 Mercury.
Then we made some money and had six children!
Lots and lots of new vehicles since. Way too many to count.

Thats not a pickup dude..... that's a serious truck....... I drive a 550 and it's pretty heavy dutyFord F650 Pickup
My 550 gets 12 miles per gallon ........ weighs 19000 pounds and gets the same mileage whether pulling a hill or going over a cliff......Goodness! Like to see a pick of that. What's that mpg?
My 75 Bronco got a whopping 12.5My 550 gets 12 miles per gallon ........ weighs 19000 pounds and gets the same mileage whether pulling a hill or going over a cliff......
Wow. Washing that puppy has to be a chore. Thanks for posting the pic. Looks great!Mine is not really pimped out but it is a beast. Probably gets 10 to the gallon. Fortunatley the shop I work at is only 3 miles from my house
Just putting tires on it..... you have to take out a bank loan..... Mine has 19.5's......... a little better than 400 bucks each...... that's 2400 bucks for a a full set.....Mine is not really pimped out but it is a beast. Probably gets 10 to the gallon. Fortunatley the shop I work at is only 3 miles from my house
LOL....... yeah...... mileage is always what you can stand...... I've had some vehicles back in the '70's that got 5........ of course gas was 25 cents a gallon then..... right now we have a Jeep Grand Cherokee that averages 14-16.... and a Ford ranger that gets about 21.......My 75 Bronco got a whopping 12.5
My '77 K5 got about 8-9 MPG. My brother's '79 crew cab dually gets about the same...
Yep....... 454's and 460's were known to pass everything except a gas station.........
Amazing car. There is ONE near here. Original owner hand me down from dad to son. It was white, original condition. He wouldn't sell it.You mentioned some very neat..... killer cars...... I almost bought a '61 Starliner as my first car.... it had a 406.... Black.......
Wow........!!!!!! I can see why your name is Ford...... that..... along with the Mustangs you listed as yours is super impressive..... it's always been a uphill battle to be a FoMoCo fan...... that 427 side oiler .......the absolute crown jewel of the FE engines.......My uncle had a 66 Galaxie 7 Litre. 428 was replaced with a 427 side oiler with tunnel port heads and 2X4 intake. Daytona top loader. The motor was 13:1 compression and had an aluminum flywheel. He would take it to the shows, we'd roll under it and remove the plates on the exhaust. He'd roll it up to about 2,000 and then hammer it to 7,500 and lift. The compression combined with the aluminum flywheel brought it from 7,500 to idle in about a second. A crowd always gathered around that car. He also had a 1971 Pantera.
My dad had some cool cars too. '65 Mustang 406, 4speed, Econoline straight front axle. '67 Mustang fastback 351 Cleveland, 4bbl heads, C6 3500 stall. '71 MACH 1, 429 SCJ Drag Pack C6, 3:91 locker. Rare 1959 Facel Vega HK500 (I've seen two in my life.)
I've only seen a couple sets of tunnel port heads. You could fit a tennis ball in the intake ports. Some of the ports had a bolt going straight down the center of the port. Those things would breathe.Wow........!!!!!!

I had a friend that had a '70 Torino style Cobra with a 429 SCJ and drag pack option.......
