They are out there....

it just depends on how much money you have. I know it is frustrating to someone who has not been in the "FE loop" before, and information is not the same as a SBC to come by. Living in the southwest, you have the advantage of sheetmetal that is good compared to the "salt belt", but the fact is there is not nearly as many people or cars either. I can tell you of junkyards years ago that were full of everything and anything Hi-Performance Ford. Hell, there was at least 4-5 Shelby's, 15 or more Mach 1's, some Bosses and that was just in one row. You get my drift? The majority of these yards were picked apart 30 years ago by people like me who knew then that this stuff was going to be hard to find, and racing was at its peak for the FE powered cars. I have not been racing for a few years and will be back at it soon. I stockpiled stuff all my life for this purpose (called nuts by many) and do not have to buy much of anything (hard parts) ever again. But that is an exception to the norm. You have to be realistic on your finances and goals. What exactly are you looking for anyway? Have you saved enough money to be prepared to offer it (cash makes a sale so much easier) when the time comes? Car clubs are an old idea, and being a partner in a racecar can be a real good or bad thing depnding on all factors involved. You can take turns, or just designate people to do their respective jobs. I do believe that you are after a street car though from what I have read of your posts. This Fairlane that you are talking about with two scoops, would not be a 427 (unless someone put it in) unless it has one scoop (glass hood) and is not a "GT". Remember, that if all you want to do is go fast, power to weight ratio is what should concern you most. Cruisin is another story in itself and is the way to "get chicks" if thats your motive. I was not interested in women sitting next to me, as I was in beating the car next to me at the time (thats changed!). Too bad you dont live nearby as I admire your enthusiasm and could use all the help that I can muster up. Keep looking out for that elusive car that is available to the right person at the right time, and you may find it. If you want to come to the midwest, I can show you some cars that are available, in the meantime dont give up, and good luck.
This thread, so far...
