Being 46 and reading this I see I am not alone in my thoughts.
Do not like the hangovers anymore can hardly stay up past 10:30 weekdays without a nap . LOL
The Torino I understand , it was for the NASCAR version. Maybe they looked under the hood of a Detroit police car that had a Boss put in place by Ford . They had to have a fast car to chase Hoffa and his friends . LOL
If the engine is long gone how is this car so rare?
Yes I understand that this car was ordered that way but once it has been taken apart (not to restore ) as in the engine trans is gone it is just a clone .
Sometimes you can put them in the freezer and they come apart with a little pressure .
Have you put the part in the paint stripper yet that can help .
I have found that using the back of the number 11 knife to scribe the seam helps sometimes.
