Wow the perfect music for the perfect car. Very nice! The only thing I didn't like was the exhaust looked a little close to the fuel cell area. Thanks for posting.

Hoping the owner/builder checked the temps at the pipes/tank with a modern scanner. I like the turndowns at the corners of the bumper - very clean. The GT instrument pod on the steering column is a nice touch and that SOHC motor is just absolutely gorgeous! A very tidy package overall. Good soundtrack choice for a change IMO.

Bethesda MD?
I'm surprised that I've never seen that beast at a local C&C event.
That is one BIG azz engine!!

Nice car! Someone put one of those engines in a 198? Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and the thing looked stock with the hood down. Wonder where it is today. One of Ford's best engines ever!
