Seriously, you can still poke around and find a nice '64 Ford that wouldn't need paint for reasonable cost, and the suspension on that one would not be major either. A C-4 goes right in. I just bought a manifold with a carb on it for $35. Some leftover valvetrain from someones 390 or CJ Stocker.................etc.
Didn't Kip Martin race one of these in SS/OA? I believe he won the Winternationals one year? I believe it was in the early 80's? Cool combo.
