Let’s do a comparison with mine...See how times have changed.

ATTENTION TO ALL: I can't keep up with the same questions to different people, so I'll post multiple questions in the article and let yall fire away

Fuel Economy! Mine gets 16 city and 26 highway

Engine size? I have 345 cubes.

How many bodies can you fit in the trunk? Not from experience, but about 3 for me.

Power? I probably lost 5; down to 370 with the reso delete.

Redline? 5,800

Download the cheapo decibel app on an Apple device. Put it under the exhaust pipe at idle. List the RPM and decibels. Mine does an average of 76 dB at 700 RPM.

As the 63 and 64 Galaxies are my favorites, I would like to slobber on your picture. Don't mind me.

I have a '63 Ford... not a muscle car by a long shot, and the original engine is a 144. Will soon be 261 (Rover 4.2 which is based on the '61 Buick 215). The original economy with the Thriftpower was 30 hwy, and the V8 should at least be over 20 when I'm done.

True, but it being from 1973 it is nothing to the 351C of 1970-71

17 City 22 Highway

305 V8

4 bodies

160 HP

I don't know, it doesn't have a tach and it falls flat on it's face after 3800 RPM

Yep. The Fairlane is a stopgap. I will have a Galaxie, someday.

I'd recommend that we go halvsies for one, but that would only end in tears. Or a knife fight over cigarette brands in the ashtray between two grown men wearing grey felt suits with padded shoulders and hats.

My current one is still in the project phase, but its predecessor was almost identical and had the same engine it as I transferred it over to the new one. A 1971 Camaro, fuel economy is about 17 highway (3.08 rear gear), engine size=350, the trunk is probably 2 body sized 3 if they are very bendy, power is probably at 300, redline is 5,000.

I have to say, that's the kind of car that's almost worth taking up smoking for.
