I saw this car on Ebay and I thought I would take a look at the description and I never thought I would see this. Look at the description and you will see what I mean.

I wonder if the guys on the Ford boards have seen this and are going nuts about a Ford with an Olds engine in it.

I've seen a few Ford trucks with Olds engines but nothing like that!

Wonder how it's going to affect any here at CO about seeing and Olds engine in a Merc.....at least you know that it won't be underpowered!!

Reminds me of the Pink 67/68 Prostreet Firebird in Rowlett with a 460 Ford in it. You ever seen it ?

I doubt it. Even Ford guys know that car is an ugly P.O.S. haha.

Richard:

I have not seen the Firebird. Does he go to Sammy Walker's on Thursday nights? I don't go very often. Your car is looking great. Hope to see it in 2009.

I was waiting for the sonic boom...

I have seen it at Sammy's once or twice. He used to come out to the street races a lot when I was still going the in 97/98ish My buddies ratty
9 sec Nova put a pretty good hurting on him one night after the Firebird guy was talking mad trash about his 12 second looking car. Its nothing today but a 10" tire slapper bar street car that ran 6.1x in the 1/8 hurt a lot of peoples feelings 10 years ago

There's a guy in England with a Olds 425 in a 60's Capri, damn that car is sweet.

It's on youtube

I think it is kind of different. The engine is sitting too far back and looks weird in that engine bay. Not my kind of car but the engine is worth it. Buy the car, take the engine, and re-sell the carcass.
