I was just looking in my Mustang Ford Trader magazine that I received today and there is another Superformance in it that is almost identical to the one that I was thinking of. I have seen several of them up here to have engines put in and other work done and I thought they were a well built and nice car. Not in the class of Shelby, Kirkham, or ERA, but above many of the others.

Both of you are up bright and early, good morning.

Rat motor is a chevy term isn't it?

Oh yeah along with "mongoose" you know that one?

"mongoose" a "snake killer"

a Chevy/Ford rivalry, sort of like who's got the "biggest" on the school yard--if you know what I mean

Ron ,I owned a SPF, very nice, well built, few problems. Sometimes I wish I still had it....but my pos '89 NAF 289 FIA has been twice as much fun(and headache on occasion) than my SPF ever was.

GR- The Cheetah? ZL1 (Aluminum 427)?

G.R. · #5 (**permalink**) 02-18-2005, 05:05 PM

That's one example though it didn't fair well overall against the Cobras

I think that the first "221" was the flathead V-8 that Ford offered in 1932, in the Model B's!

Ran a rat power 1970 chevelle.

427 all tricked up, tripple black with a 4:56 rear 12 bolt.

With slicks it would pull one wheel off the ground.

Those were the days. Woodward ave friday, saturday and sunday. chassing girls and picking on corvettes.

Gas was 50 cents a gallon for the good stuff. All the cars ran Sunoco for the octane.

No Earl, I figured I would build one more rifle and call it quits.

Nice Argentino 1909, Berlin action with a SS fluted 270 barrel. Timney trigger with M70 safety on the shroud. Sitting snug in a laminated through hole stock.

LwCwb · #12 (**permalink**) 02-18-2005, 08:12 PM

GR, I give up, it CANT be a Vette, one last try: 454 Chevelle.

Ron, I agree with Earl, buy em all!

Ron61 · #13 (**permalink**) 02-19-2005, 03:52 AM

Mike,

Earl and you have a great soluton. Now if you can just convince each member of the club to loan me $10 dollars, I may be able to swing it.

No one will finance a car out here for anone on disability or with less than $$$$$$$ dollars a month income. Also the fact I have not bought anything on credit since 1965 doesn't help, though I can't understand why why my properety, $230,000 clear, isn't considered as clolletral for a $50K loan.
I don't need a car anyway as I may not be able to drive much longer unless something can be done about my hip.

Ron

How about 10K for hip replacement, 40K for a car?

Ron61 · #15 (**permalink**) 02-19-2005, 06:33 AM

Hip surgery estimate = $45 - $65K. No guarnatee of being able to run, jog, or use the leg and hip in any stressful fashion anyway, plus at least 6 months of rehibilitation. Since the torn rotator cuff should heal by then, I can put up with the hip.

Now the money for the car, that is the important thing. I am going to call my property inurance agent next week and see if they will do loans. My neighbor got one for his place some time back through his home owners insurance. Crap, I need another car like I need to fall off the house again.

Ron

You fell off the house??!! Is that what started it all? Poor you. I'm sorry!

392cobra · #17 (**permalink**) 02-19-2005, 06:42 AM

Ron,
I hope you have given up falling off your roof.

Doesn't sound like much of a hobby.

Ron61 · #18 (**permalink**) 02-19-2005, 06:49 AM

Kristen,

I have falling off things down to a science. And yes, my doctor thinks that is what started the hip problem. The torn rotator cuff I did when I started to pull the cord to start my lawn mower. He thinks I must have had my arm and shoulder a little twisted as I only got the cord about half way and it felt as if something had ripped my arm off.

Fred,

I am looking into having my house lowered into the ground about 6 feet so I won't have so far to fall. I think so far the only placeI haven't fallen off of it was onto the driveway. One time I just cleared the top of one of the chain link fence posts that has a pointed cap on the top. Main problem. OOOLLLLDDDD

AHHHHhhhhhh yes!!!!!!

My first weekend of lounging!!

Tru,

With a weekend of nothing you have to do, now is the time to take the Cobra for a nice long warm up drive.
