That's a beauty.

Out of interest what is its MPG. I'd imagine on those old V8s it won't be great.

I had a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis which did 12mpg in traffic but then so did my 2016 Mustang GT yet the modern V8 Coyote could easily do mid 30s on a steady motorway run.
Must check the forum more often, completely missed this question. Sorry.

I think I get around 12mpg, although not at the moment as the car is off the road waiting for a new starter motor. To be honest I'm not planning on doing exact mpg measurements, it'd depress me too much :-)

There's a video on YouTube somewhere of a Thunderbird of this type re-engined with a Coyote. Sounds amazing.

This is my 1965 Galaxie 500XL. It needs a bit of work but is a tidy old thing, MOT'd and a great laugh.

It was right at the lower end of the import price range, needs a fair bit doing but nothing urgent.

Drove my Hellcat via ferry Newcastle to Amsterdam. Amsterdam to my place in Sweden.
I realised first how big it is when washing it for the first time. I can just about reach the centre of the roof. Then when I first put it in the garage, there's about 3cm free space each side. And it's quite a generous door size. Bloody rapid tank though wink

It's hotter than Texas in Norfolk at the moment (remember your time in GY? biggrin ), so I bought this (with A/C...)
