Replying to: magnette (May 17, 2008 9:27 am) Later GT40s with later victories were pure Ford. No matter how you cut it, a great achievement and a stinging rebuke to Ferrari, who had rested on their laurels too long (but survived to thumb their noses once again at most of the world). |

Replying to: british_rover (May 17, 2008 9:56 am) Oh yes, the 427 "Side-Oiler" was an adaption of Ford's NASCAR motor (seen here in it's usual home with Andretti at the wheel.>

| In the hot weather today I saw a few oddballs. A 57 Ford wagon, blue and white. A 64-65 Chevelle Malibu 2 door HT, dark red, in the garage of my building. A very nice late 60s Porsche 911, in silver rather than the usual red. A Triumph TR6, and earlier in the day I saw a black late 40s Triumph 2000 roadster on a trailer. And for a while in light traffic I drove behind a dark green MG-TD. Of course the brake lights didn't work (along with the rest of the electrics I am sure) and the driver used hand signals when turning. | |
I spotted another rarity today, a '65 or '66 Falcon Ranchero, high-line model evidently, it looked to have extra chrome along the sides.

on a trip from Philly to Newburgh, NY. These were all on some sort of highway: '69 AMC AMX. Looked nicely restored 1960's vintage P1800 Volvo (Red - and I won't give up the P, since the guy I know that is president of the Volvo club and owns 2 siad he uses it!) Local road, a 68ish Ford (maybe a Fairlane?) 2 door, fastback style. COulda been the Mercury version, but it wasn't too close. Not seen, but I found out the my former BIL is in the process of restoring a 1965 Corvair Monza. Not something you see everyday either. Oh, and in a local pub parking lot Friday, a Ford Dually pickup. With huge chome whells (dubs, or what ever size they actually are) with rubber band tires. Even on the duallys. made very little sense. |
