1965 f-85
Hello, this was my Grandfather's car. He sold it a few years ago and I bought it yesterday. It needs some work for sure, but I'm hoping to at least get it road worthy by July. Just tires and a battery for that goal. Most work to be done is hidden rust and painting (the clear coat is almost completely gone).

Yeah, I don't have the chrome and I don't think he kept it. He had it painted like that, with the bronze and black, because it was his "lucky color". I'll have to take some more pictures later, but here is what it looked like in it's "younger days", along with another one of the side while we were waiting for the tow truck. I'll get more pictures, fear not!

100% That tiny difference, improves overall look dramatically.
I see she is still single exhaust ?
Any future thoughts on additional performance ?
All she needs is 3.73s and a 200-4R, once fine tuned. 2 second reduction to 60 and in the 1/4...

Yes Sir, she still has single exhaust. I'm not sure what to do with it yet, to be honest, I haven't ran her long enough to know yet. As long as it works so far, I'll have to look into more stuff later, kind of on a tight budget at the moment. I've been told to watch the carb though, that it leaks sometimes, so I'll have to look into that.
