I love cars, Sometimes you hear a cool story behind a car…. here is the story and photos Paul Sent in.

My dad passed away at 58 unexpectedly and the 54 is the only thing that gives me comfort as he loved the car like a third child. (There is only my sister and i. I am 36 and my sis is 29. So yeh, our world has been turned upside down but this fills a small part of the hurt

Here is the license plate I chose to put on the car. (bad picture)

I would love to tell of my dad and his car. The car as at the paint booth as we speak in Hayward , Ca. The car is originally an Oaktown car (Oakland, ca)

I now live in Folsom, Ca. Hayward is about 3 hours from my house. The dude repainting the car was a close friend of my dads. I am painting it its original colors (two-tone) India Ivory on top and Rosemary red on bottom.

It has a 496 BBC with 607 hp at 5700rpm and 608 hp at 5800rpm
it has a beefed up turbo 400 and a narrowed ford nine inch 31 spline 3.25 pose rear witha mustang II front end with power steeting and disc brakes all the way around.

This car has A LOT of history and me and my dad are a lot of that hisory. He bought it in 1963 and it has always been stored. Notice it is the HARD TO FIND sport coupe (no post)

The care is just as unique and just as rare as my dad, it is very very special.

I am doing this in his honor and memory as I feel somewhat obligated because the car never got finished like we had imagined (together)

THIS IS MY LATEST PROJECT. A 51 DELUXE, DON’T CRINGE BUT I’M SHAVING ALL THE CHROME AND MOLDINGS. I’M KEEPING THE STOCK ROOFLINE BUT SHAVING THE REST OF THE CAR. I INSTALLED A FATMAN ULTRA LOW FRONT END WITH BAGS AND I’M HEADING TO THE REAR. I’VE GOT A 1967 327 W/700R4 GOING TO POWER IT DOWN THE ROAD WITH 3 DUECES. IT HAS POWER WINDOWS, KEYLESS ENTRY, HEATED SEATS AND SOME OTHER LITTLE MODERN FUN STUFF. IT WILL HAVE A MODERN BUT VERY OLD SCHOOL FEEL TO IT. A FLAKE PAINT JOB AND WHITE INTERIOR ( TUCK AND ROLL, WITH ACCENT PIPING AND STITCHING) WITH A CUSTOM 30” SHIFTER. STOCK SEATS ECT. I’LL KEEP THE PICTURES COMING AS IT PROGRESSES.
