His was a 289 2V with a C4. Not the fastest thing around, but a fun car to drive with great lines.
This is similar to my first car....
....less the Ram Air. Oh, and the paint (mine had none). The 351 Cleveland 4V 4-bolt main was mean to the core. And the FMX tranny actually performed quite well....although a C6 would have been better. I actually dated the girl who owned the car for 2 years until I got my license. After convincing her to sell me the car, I broke up with her.
