    A buddy from work has a cousin who works for a wrecking company. He brought it over on a flat bed.

    At least one of the cars in the barn is going come spring. It took me over a half hour to sneak it in.

The only 460 LTD's I've ever seen were police package cars or ones that were really loaded. Odd to see a fairly strippo model with the big block. Must have been ordered by a guy, sexist as that sounds.
    From what I was told, the car is originally from North Carolina. It was brought up here sometime in the last few years, the guy who brought it up here was letting his wife drive it until she got a DUI with his kids in the car. He took the keys away and it sat for a long time, then the guy I bought it from bought it. Or something like that. Either way, it certainly hasn't seen a winter, or at least not many.



    I've been wanting to make a street/strip car for a while now, and while I would have preferred a box panther, I think this car may fit the build. 460/c6/9", a perfect drivetrain combo, nice rust free chassis, and while it is a monster, it only weighs 4200lbs, hardly more then a 03+ panther. It defiantly has potential.

          Vinyl tops are for AARP members and those who like holes in their roof (of which this car has a few, hence it's removal).

              Nice potential. The paint is a little rough to be a cruiser but as a street-strip bruiser, a lot of fun.

              You could probably get it to Panther weight with aluminum top end bits and a little creative swiss-cheesing.

                Ditching the cast iron intake alone should help a lot.

                      Oh sweet peaches that car has potential. The 460 has more aftermarket support than you'll need to build it up right. I'm with you on the slicktop, I would have torn the top off my Lincoln if it had any imperfections, but I can't remove a perfect top, i'm a wimp like that.

                      Do like SofaKingFast did and rip the cats off, then install glasspack and let it roar

                          "vinyl tops are for AARP members"
                          Well at least I can drive my lincoln with the vinyl top to Duncan donuts to get my coffee and free donut with my AARP card.

                            Decided to see if I could clean the ugly front bumper up. I think it came out good.

                              What did you use to do that. Visually that is much nicer.
