here's my 71 longhorn
Here's my 71 longhorn.
my dad and i hit a deer in his grand marquis coming from texas back to chicago in early '09. the car was totaled so We rented a uhaul dolly to bring it to my house in chicago, the only thing that was salvagable was the 5.0 motor. a friend of mine who owns a used car lot ( the kind of cars no one else wants) said he's looking for a ford motor, when i told him i had a 5.0 he said pick any car along the back fence and it's yours. I went back there and spotted this 71 longhorn and said "how much for this hunk a junk? he said "gimme the motor and you can take it" i honestly don't think he knew what a longhorn was, but his loss is my gain because i knew exactly what it was. And the rest is history. I've had the longhorn since summer 09 and havent done anything but rebuild the q jet (2 weeks ago) and put title and plates. Runs like a champ and smokes the tires with ease. All original 350/350 a/t although someone yanked out the a/c,door panels,battery,etc. i have no idea where to start with this one. Last edited by beebster; 04-19-2010 at 01:12 AM. |
