The Plan

The plans for the car are as follows:

Overarching Goals

  1. Bring the car back to life and make it look great. I want a car that I can show but first and foremost I want a car I can DRIVE!!!
  2. Restore the car to a configuration that could have been purchased new in 1970.
  3. Don’t over restore the car. Like 1 (above), I want to be able to drive it so I may end up skipping some concours details. I am okay with this.

Engine

  1. Stock appearing engine. This means that it will sport the correct and original air cleaner/snorkle and will be painted Ford Corporate Blue. It will sport other original looking parts like hoses, plug wires, etc.
  2. Full rebuild with some enhancements. Need more research on this but will definitely do a mild cam and some head work.
  3. Headers vs stock manifolds…undecided as of now.

Paint/Body

  1. The color will be changed to Grabber Blue. I have loved this color since I first saw it. Being that the car is a 351C and not a 428 I have fewer reservations about this change.
  2. Front Spoiler, Rear Spoiler, Sport Slats/Louvers. Common additions and I like the way they look so I would like to add them. These could have been put on the car in 1970 so I am okay with it.

Interior

  1. Will remain stock. I have no plans to modify the interior. I will keep the original AM/8 Track so I can play my Led Zeppelin/Hendrix/Cream 8 Tracks (once I buy them).
