I don't want any Corvette none of GM excites me. The AMC cars are amongst the best. The Avanti was setting speed records in the sixties. Nice article enjoy reading 😃

70 Mustang had a front similar to the 69 less 2 headlights.

Look at the period correct Blue Max NHRA racecar. Question answered.

97Cobra · ‎20-04-2022

Thank You for an article Ford lovers can read and enjoy. Some interesting cars the early 2.3 turbocharged Cobra probably started the pony car wars again. Then the 5.0 started to beat up on all competition. Don't think the EV will have the same following.

Still gutless with crate engine

97Cobra · ‎16-04-2022

Long winded

97Cobra · ‎21-03-2022

Henry Ford but you are partial to Chevy's

97Cobra · ‎18-11-2021

Interesting read, hard way for anyone to Go. R I P thank you for the great Ford memories.

97Cobra · ‎23-10-2021

Nice read interesting the changes in engine choises. Never knew Subaru made a flat 6. Good work 👍

97Cobra · ‎29-06-2021

That's certainly not Volvo or Saab some though went into that build. Good Job

97Cobra · ‎29-06-2021

Nice collection ALL Look great. Thanks Hagerty for the article

97Cobra · ‎26-06-2021

I* see no resemblance in the T Bird and the BMW or the P5 and Chrysler... otherwise a good read.

97Cobra · ‎15-05-2021

Great article enjoyed every bit of it. This is what makes reading about cars and owners so much fun.

97Cobra · ‎12-05-2021

Correct I think they maybe using the Ario heads of the 90's.

97Cobra · ‎12-05-2021

Nothing turns me off quicker than an article about a beautiful FORD with a Chevy motor. Are there any beautiful old Chevy's to put their motors in or, is it the only car worth while is an old FORD.

97Cobra · ‎05-05-2021

Couldn't afford them new certainly can't afford the maintenance bills now. Even if I could I wouldn't a have either in my driveway or garage. Built in North America and I'm interested.

97Cobra · ‎24-04-2021

had me until second gen

97Cobra · ‎22-04-2021

COOL

97Cobra · ‎19-04-2021

Enjoying the read until I came to the lame Chevy powered thing

97Cobra · ‎17-04-2021

See link Mercury also produced a 383 MEL engines produced from 280 to 400 HP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_MEL_engine

97Cobra · ‎03-04-2021

Good list simple things are usually forgotten. Can appreciate not checking the brake pedal.

97Cobra · ‎25-03-2021

All interesting cars and well worth restoring. Prices for body only cars are expensive not for the faint of heart.

97Cobra · ‎16-02-2021

Pretty interesting article. Forward thinking indeed

97Cobra · ‎10-02-2021

Pretty interesting . I would say he is having some great fun with his rides. good job Hagerty!!

97Cobra · ‎07-02-2021

I think Shelby in the movie beat the Ford prepared H&M 427's

97Cobra · ‎07-02-2021

Thank You for a great story. I thought you were only interested in now ties. Now if you could find a good Pentstar article that would be great for your Chrysler members. Good job 👍

97Cobra · ‎30-01-2021

No surprise the majority of cars are GM. Or is that all you look at

97Cobra · ‎27-01-2021

you nailed it

97Cobra · ‎27-01-2021

1955 Chrysler Nothing else is as nice.

97Cobra · ‎19-01-2021

Chevy guys can't see anything but bow ties.

97Cobra · ‎19-01-2021

IMO you got it backwards

97Cobra · ‎19-01-2021

I guess I'm not the only one that feels that way. No Fords either.

97Cobra · ‎19-01-2021

Well said

97Cobra · ‎19-01-2021

I thought Mecum sold other cars other than GM. or is GM the only cars you like? I notice the past trends lean to only Chevy in all the posts? There are other brands your customers drive.

97Cobra · ‎19-01-2021

The list is all GM don't you see the past trends to only Chevy in all the posts?

97Cobra · ‎18-01-2021

Good advice BUT the LS swap is not the way to go for everything. WHY would you buy NOS parts for your Ford or a Chrysler Fiat and drop a LS in it. There are better engines. WHY not use a Hemi or Coyote.

97Cobra · ‎11-01-2021

Or the Scrambler Rambler

97Cobra · ‎11-01-2021

I'll pick ? Lets see 1 to 18 Naaa I'll say they are all perfect.

97Cobra · ‎08-01-2021

427 Ford pick up. Can anything be better???

97Cobra · ‎07-01-2021

429 Boss is nice But I'll have to take the Cougar E

97Cobra · ‎06-01-2021

1965 Shelby GT350R Fastback would be the one I'd choose.

97Cobra · ‎09-12-2020

Beautiful piece of work Looks great to bad you couldn't user a decent motor to drive the FORD. A small block 221 to 351 would have made it even better. But still nice work.

97Cobra · ‎12-08-2020

Interesting how all the GM lovers picked a Ford 351 to run with the 450+ cu in engines and a 401 AMC. Stacking the deck isn't playing fair. Maybe they should have used GM 350's Ford 351 and AMC 401 to make the comparison fair. But then the GM would Finnish LAST.

97Cobra · ‎21-07-2020

Great Story The corvettes were no competition for these Flying Mustangs. Shelby and Miles were an unbeatable team. Who can compare to either today? Fair Price, for this is what a real collector that knows the history did pay. Enjoy your new Shelby I'm envious.

97Cobra · ‎15-04-2020

it was boring
