My next restoration will be a '78 Ford F250 - either with a built 5.9 12 valve or a 521 Stroker. I've got 2 restorations going at the moment - a '63 Studebaker R/2 Superhawk & a '94 E420 Mercedes.

Took 3rd overall at Pebble Beach in 2019 which is pretty rare for a sports car. One of the judges told the guy he'd have won if it was the original color (white) and the guy says "I like green." He takes it on road races and rallies. My type of guy. Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again! Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the 24HCF.

Dad and I restored Model A's when I was a kid. Learned a lot. "Gimme the 19/32nd's socket!" Learned to drive in a 1930 Model A Coupe when I was 12. Old guy, old guns.

First one I find for a reasonable price will probably be the one I will do- 66/67 Nova SS 67/68 Camaro 70/71/72 Chevelle SS 65-67 Corvette 53 Chevy pickup 65-68 Mustang fastback 69/70 Mustang Mach 1 Ask me in a week and I may add a few more to the list... but I can only afford to do one more hot rod right now so I have to choose....

Sheister Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 7,988 Likes: 3 Oregon	Originally Posted by Ringman One of my favorites is a 1966 Chevy 2. The one I'm thinking of came with a 350 engine rated at 350 H.P. Perhaps you will allow me to diverge slightly from "restore". Lord willing next year I will retro-mod a '68-'70 AMX. It should look stock. I want it to be as quiet as a Lincoln. The engine is going to be a Mopar's Helephant hooked to the transmission Mopar suggest. The 66 Chevy 2 wasn't available with a 350... 350 wasn't available until 68/69 so if you find one with a 350 it has been changed out.... but still a great engine for that car....
