(13 reviews)this is a boat on road this car is so big you can seat six big mens easy (3front bench seat 3 rear seat)the power steering is a dream and the big block (390ci)just want to cruise no stop.! the down side is the fuel hough!!..i am just starting a rebuild to make look like a american police car but in mat colors
The 289 V-8 combined with C4 Cruise-O-Matic is the ultimate in spirited, economical, and reliable performance. This car like any machine needs regular maintenance, that is what makes them last. Style is a matter of taste of course but in my opinion it doesn't get much better than a 1965 Ford. And as we all know, the 1965 Ford rides quieter than a Rolls-Royce.
considering the car was 43 years old when i stopped driving it to do a restoration, it's still what i rate other cars i drive against as far as handling, braking, and comfort. with all wheel drum brakes it stopped surprisingly quick, topped out at 98mph... in second gear (equipped with the 3-speed Cruise-o-Matic transmission, and though it was a tank was the most comfortable ride i could wish for. i really miss cruisin in my baby. :'( had some of my best times in that beast and i more than willingly paid for the 12mpg i got on the good days... with a light foot and the wind at my back. wouldnt trade it for ANYTHING built within the last 20 years. never.
Got it all original with a, late build, 352FE big block. Kept the 427 medium riser heads and swapped tham onto a 390 short block. Ended up pushing about 12:1 and cranking out about 400 hp with 500+ ft/lbs of torque.
Performance- My only complaint is that it's brakes are not the best, but that is what you expect from a car with all drum brakes. Build Quality-This car is solid, and from being from 1965 it is fairly easy to repair, but becaues it is old it does need work. Appearance-BEAUTIFUL, classic, and full of Chrome Cost of Ownership- Pretty bad gas milage, but that is what you would expect from a car with a 390 ci V8 from 1965. Fun Factor- So much fun to drive, and to just look at.
