        wow

        where's the beavis and butthead "we're not worthy" smiley?


        this is one of the cars that ran with legends I would have loved to see in the thick of it all, I was born in the wrong era.
        There's always something new to learn.

          Jim rules had core. He's from Massachusetts and his collection is incredible.

          We simply did not have time to shoot them all, but know that parked behind this car in the shop was a real lightweight Galaxie and oh yea....ONE OF THE FIRST 50 THUNDERBOLTS EVER BUILT!

          He bleeds Ford blue.

            Very cool pics - thanks for the closeups too - I was 14 in 1968 and grew up in Dearborn so that was a trip down memory lane. Although I prefer Chevy's - cool cars are cool cars, anywhere, anytime.

                          I was wondering if possible to contact Jim Sartori about his 68 cyclone..We owned that car many years ago,and we might have some more info on it that he might not know about....My wife and i saved it...And yes we do have all the old pictures of it when we got it till the day we sold it..thanks and i hope we can make this contact...Rick...

                            If you like old Comets you'll love the Earle 'Safari' Char LEGEND story in the August issue of Hawaii Motorbeat Monthly.
                            Safari ran both 289 and 427 Cyclones at Hawaii Raceway Park back in 65-66. Plenty of photos and link to what happened to 'em!
