About

I picked up this '69 fastback back in January of 2003 off of eBay. It looked much better in the pictures than in person. It was left out in a farmers pasture in about '85 and was a total shell, stripped of anything useful. My wife thought I should have crushed it instead of rebuilt it. It was bad, looked even worse when I started tearing it down.

Specs

462 ci. Cobra Jet big block (insert best Tim Allen grunt here)
Holley 770cfm Street Dominator, 4 bbl carb (working on getting a dual 4 bbl setup)
10.3:1 compression ratio
nice, big lopey cam (don't have spec in front of me now)
C-6 automatic transmission with transpak, higher stall converter, heavy duty clutches and springs for tighter shifting.
15x7 Magnum 500's up front with 215/60 series, 15x8's with 275/50 series BFG's out back.

Factory Options

Power....nothing.

Sport mirrors, Deluxe interior, the rare Light Teak wood grain accents.

Mods

Motor:
Wedged in the big block stroked 429 motor.
Heavy duty engine oil cooler.
Heavy duty transmission cooler.
Added Ford Electronic ignition.

Interior:
Updated the standard interior to the deluxe white Mach 1 seats, woodgrain accents, deluxe door panels,

Basically...replaced the entire interior as it was gutted when I got it.

Exterior:
Painted it Bright Atlantic Blue Metallic.

Added Boss 429 scoop & Boss 429 optioned rims with limited edition Boss Center Caps.

Rear wing & chin spoilers.

More to come....
