Some people will surprise you with what they have. I haven't come across any cammers yet, but I live in NASCAR country where guys like to race, and some have stuff that can surprise you. A lot of cycled-out NASCAR team stuff has a way of making it down the friend chain and into someone's project. That's kind of how I learned about the mystery motors. A guy had a part of one hanging in his shop.
Car pics too cool not to share

Torino Talladega. I saw a white one a few weeks ago.

OP
I did.
I'm not as knowledgeable of the Fords as I am GM and MoPar.There used to be a '68 or '69 Mercury Cyclone nearby. I was told it was called a Cyclone Spoiler. I looked at it once. Interesting car, but I really don't know what I'm looking at when it comes to Ford.
OP
Buddy of mine drove one (Spoiler) in high school, and I believe my step-brother owns a project one in upstate New York.I did.

OP
Ummm...I almost did, myself. I remembered the 421 without fail, but the 428 was a last-minute "Oh, yeah...Pontiac, too!" moment for me.
OP
"It's okay, Sir...everything's going to be okay. Now...I just need you to step away from the PLASTI DIP..."
Yes while the paint/plasti dip isn't my style it's a good looking car. Or I guess I should say I'd drive it...
OP
Agreed. It's one of those "styles" that would be fun for a while, but I'd tire of it fairly quickly.
Something about it just isn't right. It looks like a digital rendering to me, not the real thing.
Edit: There's no reflections off any of the windows.
OP
The more I look at it, the more I think you may be right about that...
OP
Oh, well. Either way, it's fun to look at. No danger of me ever owning something that bitchin'.
OP
Don't forget, Ford wasn't the only 429 out there... (I've been waiting for this one!)

I'm not even sure if I knew about that one. I thought Caddy jumped from 390 to 472. I assume 429 was a bored/stroked 390?
