I had a Baby Blue '65 Sport Fury 2 door hard top I was restoring. It had a 426 hemi balanced & blueprinted, 3/4th race cam, 12.5 compression ratio, with a high rise and dual line dual pump Holley carb, exhaust headers, dual point ignition, 411 posi trac rear end, 4 on the floor, disc front, the AC vents would ice and the clock worked too. And it was not worth spending $200 to replace the $5 rear main seal. Could not have been more solid mechanically and I was restoring the body which had rust in places, the right way: no bondo. And I had both skirts and it had the towing package. Originally a 383 Commando car but someone had done a lot of work.
(a close friend had a '57 T-bird)

Don't have the skills to rebuild cars like you guys but I sure love the end results after it's done.
Back when I was in the air force in 1972 I bought a 65 mustang for 400$ .
It had the 289 small V8 engine with 4 speed manual transmission, it wasn't a race car but it was peppy.
Drove it for two years and sold it for 400$.
 
289 was probably the best small block ford built. Man you could turn some rpm’s with that small stroke. But kinda hard to get a lot of compression 😂

A buddy had one of those but front end was a year off, 66? anyway it was fun watching people argue what year it was, he'd say "yer both right :) I had a few decent cars and trucks but most were pretty tierd by the time i got them. 66 Belvedere 318 was a great ride and a 68-9 chevy van with a 4 speed on the column "thought it was a 3 speed at first" with a good 327 was my favorite. Had 70 or so fury 4 door that was in great shape with a alum intake and bigger carb that hugged the road like glue untill you really pushed it and it would skip to the outside of the curve with little tire squeaks on every hop.

The '65 was a one year body style and was different from the '64 and '66. Had a '69 Grand Prix with a 400 too. The Fury was the best.
 
I spent a lot of years finding and restoring old classics. Mostly Mustangs. A couple of my favorites were a 1970 Mach I, a 1964 1/2 convertible, and my favorite Steet pony was a 2012 GT500 with a super snake upgrade.

Both the 2015 GT (Crazy Horse) & 1964 1/2 (Cherry Pie) were mine.

Had a chance to buy a Porsche Firehawk for literally nothing. It was a race car version of a 944 not street legal, only 20% of the parts were 944 and it would blow my 944S Turbo off the track,
It must have had 150 more horses with a much bigger turbo. I had no idea what to do with a non street legal race car.
