Why is it anyone's business exactly how much Thor sold his car for and/or how much he netted? Yes, he did say he got more than he'd originally asked. Good for him! It just takes two people wanting the same thing to drive any price up. This coming week at the various AZ auctions is dead on proof of that.

Its been bounced around so much, in this thread, and many others, about the far superior quality of the 427 Ford compared to the 427 BBC that a nagging question keep popping into my head: If the BBF 427 was so superior, why didn't Ford make more of them? Why were they so expensive? Why didn't Ford "extrapolate" them on out to successful bigger engines like Chevy did (454, 502, 572 and such)? I never hear anyone get excited about the 460. ??
