Welcome and congrats! I bet she broke a lot of hearts with that pressurized 351!
Well I originally purchased it to put away for my boy who is only 10. But the more I’m around the car, the more I want to mess with it. I’ve had fox cars since the mid 80’s when I was in the Air Force, some brand new, some used. I haven’t had one in probably 10 years, so I got the bug again. Plans now are to get the basics squared away. Door and T-Top seals, and pull the upholstery. The seats are destroyed and the door panels also. Otherwise the car fired right up. It sounds pretty nasty, but I do not have specs on anything until I tear it apart. It was abandoned, so I even had to get a new title through the court and new ignition key and tumbler to move it. Looks like RHS 200 CC heads, V1 early supercharger (serial number) 351 Windsor, Pro Form blow through carb. The rest I’ll have to keep digging to get info. It does have a roll bar, south side machine bars, and welded frame connectors and 90/10 shocks.
Thanks man! Me too!
I recommend to get it street-able and drive it as you do the misc small stuff. If you make it un-drivable the odds are it will sit. Hagerty's has great rates on collector car insurance and since its not a DD I would recommend looking into it. In SC the tags are very cheap due to the cars age.
Get a late model fox seat so you can drive it as you so upholstery. Original style uphostery material is expensive but well worth it if you want to be true to the heritage. The rest of the interior is standard to all the cars.
With a son of 10 you could still have him help as you do things. That's how we keep the young ones interested.
Mine still brings a smile to my face every time I get it out and drive it. Best stress relief for a hectic or bad week!! Even better I never see another car like it on the road.

Thank you! Nice to see him off the phone and asking questions! I also have a short bed little 47 Ford pickup with a 92 5.0 motor. Pretty cool truck, C6 manual valve body and 3:89 rear, it’s real quick and fun to drive. Plans this summer are to drop it 3” and engine mods to include my 1965 Mickey Thompson 289 Cross Ram and dual quads. It just in prime, but so much fun. He’ll have his choice each day of High School!
Sounds like a neat little truck. Don't see many pre f-series trucks around. Good luck with the projects.
