Cool. What's the plan for it?
But how did you get it home with the back on Jack stands?

we had to pull the drive shaft off to tow it. It was too big to fit on my trailer!
He wants to make it a daily driver. Once he's happy its reliable then he wants to continue modifying the Bobcat more.

351 Cleveland?
Almost as cool as my parent 68 Country Squire or 73 Mercury Colony Park

That's cool, where'd he find it in such good shape? I don't even see a crack in the dash! At least the rear seats face backwards, in our country squire we faced side to side. The gas tank is still under your feet though.

it has a 351M. He found it in Paris Tennessee about an hour and a half to two drive South West of us. The interior condition was one of the things the guy said kept him from making a demo derby car out of it. He said everytime he thought about gutting it, he decided it was too nice!

I know, three cars he has had already include a 67 Chevy van, a Bobcat wagon and now a Torino wagon. He likes the long roofs! The two wagons are pastel colors. Robin Egg blue and some kind of yellow color!

sweet ride, but remember the only good thing about the 351m is that you can make a 400 out if it very easily.

he isn't looking to make it a hot rod. It weighs 4,000+ lbs. The M has plenty of torque. I had one in a pick up and it was a good truck motor. Someone put a Motorcraft four barrel on it already. He might put dual exhaust just to get the V8 sound.
And a blower!

you guys aren't helping! really though he wants to turbocharge the Bobcat and put a T5 in it and lower it and on and on so this will just be a daily driver... and next years Power Tour car!

Screw all of those modifications; when does the mattress go in the back?

yes but it doesn't work. He is going to have to go thru it and see what needs to be fixed/replaced.

I've still got a tank of R-12, oil and gauges if he's not converting.

Always on vacation!
If it was rust brown and was dragging the tailpipe, it'd be the Better off Dead wagon.
I'm thinking when the Camaro is done, I'm gonna look for a Mopar wagon.
Trying for three hot rods, one Ford, one Chevy and one Dodge. Maybe a Pontiac. The one that looks like the 67 GTO in the front.
Nice find.
