This car was restored in the 1980s. But alot of that needed to be redone (this time the right way) About 4 years ago the upgrades started.
First was getting the floor pans and structural pieces replaced and rust-proofed. Then the drive train got a 302 with 351 heads (it's a Ford and should have a Ford motor) maited to a C4 transmission. It already had an 80s V8 rear end as part of the work done before.. The master cylinder is a two stage with fresh wheel cylinders on all four wheels (still drum brakes, brakes straight w/o pull to either side) To see some of the work that was done visit our car's Face book page Pepetheranchero.
