the new 015 Mustang tail, and compare it to an Iococca edition's smoothness



a 1960's Lincoln has what seems to be a cruise control



coolest car I found at the Knotts Berry Farm, was this Falcon transformed into a Super Roo



I talked to the owner for a couple minutes, and he's a great guy... he relayed that as a kid he'd lived in Australia for about 9 years, and fell in love with the cars there.


So much so, that he took about 4 years to add the right parts to an American Ford Falcon to get exactly the right mix of Australian and American parts to get the car the way he wants it.





it took months to get the trail completed, and it's a XW Gt front end, and an XY tail. It's not the same year as the front. Nor is it a 4 door. I like this better.




Hank, one of the last original owners, and racers, of Shelby Cobras. There may be less than a handful of others, but only Hank comes to car shows.



You're looking at a very cool guy, and his car. Unique. Incredibly nice guy too.

I didn't know Lincoln Continentals had factory fenderwell exiting exhaust
