Definitely would have ac. If it wasn't a mustang I'd have no problem putting an ls into a ford. Matter of fact I am also looking at a few ford trucks for an ls.

The thing I'm most torn about is a truck. I already have a f150, explorer, and jeep. I'm thinking its time to get a car

I am not really a fan of the other american sports cars of the past

Different color scheme for sure, but a lifted 4x4 El Camino w/ the bed turned into a hot tub would fun as hell.

My bro inlaw has a 71 mark iii with less than 300 miles and everyone is documented. Triple black. Nothing like the 60s and prior lincolns but it's still pretty gangster.

CSX 3303 was a 1967 427 street car retained by Shelby American as a PR car and then made into a Super Snake for Bill Cosby. Cosby's record album titled "200 MPH" attests to the fact of why he only drove it once before returning it to Shelby American. Shelby American sold it to S and C Motors in San Francisco, who then sold it to their customer, Tony Maxey. Maxey destroyed himself and CSX 3303 by driving off of a cliff and into the Pacific Ocean.

My man! Love those Scout II's. I'm still sad that I sold my '74 but I used that money towards my '79 Bronco that I enjoy more and like the custom metallic blue and white paint job more than the O.D. Green and White the Scout was.

Word of advice to non-obsessed car guys, buying a vehicle that is no longer in production is kinda dumb but well worth the awesomeness. Just be prepared to throw dollars at it.

Scout 400 is a really good pick. There was a beautiful restored one at the Chesney concert in Auburn.

Ironically, I have owned and sold a restored 68 GTO convertible and it was on the first page several times. It was a fricking boat and a pain in the arse.

Again, I am restoring a 74 Bronco now that will be fully back to uncut fenders, 302 and bad arse. This will be what I wanted my GTO to be for me as a potential daily driver.

After I finish my Bronco, I will either rebuild the 69 Bronco I have or find a 67-69 Mustang Fastback to start on and make it a street demon with a 347 stroker in it. I already have a 302 out of the '69 Bronco that I am going to build up.

I bet you get some great looks at red lights with that. Have you seen the new Crawl magazine on the shelves yet? There is a good article about a guy who uses his early 40s Willy's nearly stock and does rock crawls with it. They were built little frickers.

I always wanted a 69-71 Cutlass. Ended up with 71 Lemans because they're cheap unrestored.
