The Lounge / Re: 8 Classic cars go up in flames in Northern California
« on: February 13, 2024, 01:54:09 PM »
Hard to say if it were a California Special which are coupes. That to me looks like a convertible.
If there were anyone who might know that would be Jeff Speegle. This is his stomping grounds. He would know most Shelby related cars in the area, I would believe.

Maybe, but I would think that the weight of what looks like part of the garage door laying on it would have easily deformed a convertible top.

Dan, I know that the Red/White 428 1969 Mach One with original paint that Jan Boggs/Fred Beaver owned has a Woody Anderson decal, not the metal emblem. I have a pic of it somewhere, will try to find...

The Lounge / Re: Is an FE a Big Block?

This is from the factory Ford MuscleParts catalog from 1970 - note the words at the top, "Small Block Series," when referencing the 351C. So this refutes at least two previous statements : 1.) that Ford never used these terms and 2.) That the 351C is not a small block.

BIG plus ONE



More misinformation. Again, the Cleveland IS a small block. Heads interchange on any small block, heck it even was done at the factory on an engine called a Boss 302. motor mounts/trans bellhousing is small block. The Cleveland was the 'bastard' of the Ford line up. Unique block with the cast front cover ala Oldsmobile, oiling the same as the 385 series, an intake that ran dry (no coolent), and other oddities. That however, does not mean it is not a small block. Just an attempt by Ford to make 'another' engine to compete with GM and Mopar.

 I think you misread my point _ I was pointing out that Ford actually DID call the 351C a small block.

6S531  1970...(complete with  Shelby-American T-shirt)... ::)

Strange looking center caps on the magnums, are those like 1970 Boss center caps with the running horse? They look pretty large.

Not sure how any Shelby owner could be a Democrat - Biden's Energy Czar, John Kerry, is overseas right now trying to get an agreement in place to end fossil fuels...
