Mileage:	79040
Engine:	Rebuilt 2 k miles ago. 200 CI I6, Milled head with nos thin head gasket, low compression 250 head, 5 angle valvejob, bronze guides, new nos oversized ford valves, umbrella seals, high tension springs. Soon to have adjustable hydraulic lifter system installed. 1 bbl, 3 row radiator, six fin a/c fan for better cooling. Original 170 air cleaner assembly. Original working AM radio. New battery. I wonder if the horn works? Flat black painted engine compartment.
Drivetrain:	"Ford-O-Matic" Fords Biggest Mistake 2 speed auto. 3.5 gear in rear. I think 8 inch rear. A driveshaft, and a converter that has about a 2000 stall for the first 5 minutes of driving.
Notes:	I got a hold of original brand new 1960's BF Goodrich T/A 60s tires and put them on rear. Still had original sticker on them, melted on over the years. Showing white. 13 inches, soon to be 15 inch Centerlines. This car was in a barn for 30 years. I bought it 18 months ago with 72,000 miles on it. I like fixing it upper. I put a bunch of rare nostalgia racing stickers on it, because I have many years in the machine shop trade, and my father races Nostalgia Top Fuel Dragster, and Im on the crew.
