Thanks @BoxsterSteve for keeping the list going on the last page.

We're on page 987.



This one came up for sale at the local Dodge / Jeep dealer. I haven't looked at it in person to see what sort of suspension work has been done. It does have a rollbar and Cobra seats. The PO must have either run spacers, or just likes Death Race as the wheel studs stick way out on the wheels. Asking $24,997.

An artist who lives locally did the original. She had 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles made. It took my granddaughter and me over a week to get it done.

In the 1920s Oxford banned "plus 4s". After that a fad took hold called "Oxford bags" which were pants with oversized pant legs (remind you of the baggy pants that kids wore in the early 2000s?). One theory is that the Oxford bags allowed plus 4s to be worn under the bags.

Since these were just small block Fords, I wonder how many were hotrodded. I would think it wouldn't have been hard to change carb, intake, and/or cam. I'm not sure what the exhaust was like, and I assume changing the exhaust may have been tough due to what I assume was the vehicles small size and likely limited space to run a different exhaust.
