Wow! Very cool!

+1 on roller bearing spring perches! I absolutely could tell a difference in ride quality from the urethane ones I took off.

Cool pics, thanks! Wayne Curry (RIP) with 3201. A few years before I met him.

Great story. Pretty sure the red 67 is Chris Browns (RIP) former car when Jerry did a photoshoot in Tulsa, around 2010 or so??

Nope.  The red 67 that Jerry recently bought was a barn find that had been apart since the early 80's. All of the info is there in the video.

Bob, I'm not talking about the one Jerry just bought, talking about the red one in the pics. The background etc looks like the same area where he did the photoshoot of Chris's car for a magazine.
No big deal either way, looks great!

I don't know if this is an option for you, what about buying the 69 & using the 5K towards putting a 4 speed in it!
Or a 5 speed.....
Easy to convert back to auto if needed

Approximately what year did the repros come out?

Or...

Yes, build that correct motor, and once complete, seal it in a bag, and store it.

Then...

Build a nice stroker FE with good aluminum heads, low RPM torque cam, make it look original, and drive it.

I pick this option. 9" with 31 spline axles will be fine with street tires, slicks could be a problem!

Here is some more clear pictures My Boss 302 with 427 sideoiler stroked to 482ci  Just about finished.

Very cool, that's my kind of ride!!

Wow. And 26 to choose from!!

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the look of the front end higher than the rear either, but isn't that "correct" for a lot of cars? Including 67 Shelbys? Just curious as I am not sure.

We have two trains of thought here on what we feel we should do about ownership of these cars. As our group ages I have found most cant and wont do even the simplest tasks on cars anymore, changing oil, tune ups, brake jobs etc. This group tends to lean in the I am going to purchase something that is DONE... because they are done, working on things anymore. Then we have the usually younger group or just those that can and will bring their cars back to life without the exorbitant cost of 100k plus restorations and have the feel good feeling that they actually were involved in its coming back to life. Thats what makes the world go round, the cans and the cants or the ones that build, race, restore their cars and the ones that write a big check, and park them in their garages to look at. There is a place for all in the car collector world.

I remember him with a smile today ,tomorrow and for years to come.. He was one of a kind. RIP

It was rare to see him without a smile, wasn't it??!! Well said Bob.
Chris was truly the definition of "one of a kind" in so many ways.
