Owner: John
Car Name: HA! a number of things, but it's been dubbed "lightning"
Color: ford color: Sonic Blue
Year:1968
Type: Coupe
Engine: 289
Wheel Size: 225/70R14
Quarter Mile: ~12-14 sec. I've never had a strip time, only "spirited driving"

RWHP:no idea

3.00 rear gears and a C-4

List of Modifications:

Power adders:
600 CFM model 4160 holley 4bbl
dual plane eddelbrock performer intake
Headers & dual exhaust
crane cam 266/266 duration .469/.469 lift

Cosmetics:
grant woodgrain steering wheel
AR trouque thrust 14" rims
Chrome dress-up kit.

This car originally came from the San Jose plant in CA. When we bought it, we found out that it spent roughly 20 years in a barn in NV (we bought it in NV) This is probally the reason why there was only 67,000 original miles on it when we purchased it. There is no rust, metal or bondo work on this car, only paint.

There could be so much more that could be done to make this a faster car, however, due to the very good condition of it, we decided that we would keep it closer to its original shape. My personal choice was to add the painted Torque thrust rims, just because they add to the vintage feel of the car.

thank you for looking and good luck to all!
