oh i just seen this tri powered sweeeeeet i was woundering

Yep... should be a rip snorter.

Me too. Gads! This reminds me so much of the plastic model automobile kits I used to build in my younger days until I got my old '76 Chevy Nova. (Then I switched to 1:1 scale.) I nicknamed the car "Garfield" because of it's faded orange paint job, and because the car would often refuse to start on a Monday.

I had a few of the muscle cars models of the day too.

I had a 1959 Lincoln Continental MKIV convertible.
It had a factory stock 460 cu in motor.
I acquired (also factory stock) the tri-power system.

Yeah, it was a real sleeper in traffic.

Bunners

460 doesn't sound right...for that year.

430 would be the correct! good boat motor!

You're correct of course. When I bought it I was told 460. Seller lied? "Who knew?"

Driving it around with the top down was like piloting an aircraft carrier down the street.

just add a few magnetic rope cleats on the corners!

cool bro. i wish i had tyat skill. only i do is accelarate and ctash cars xd

The 66 or 67 would be the car I'd restore if I had the money. (I would probably put a modern EFI system on it, since I always hated messing with carburetors)

Each system has it pluses and minuses. In the 35 odd years I've had my Toyota pickup I've put 3 electric fuel pumps in it and its a carbed motor.

I don't think EFI systems would last that long trouble free.

I have my 55 willies overland pickup. 351windsor with cleaveland heads. The heads are ported. valves unshrouded then lightly decked to get it back to 9 to 1 .. 12 bolt posis front and rear 4 speed granny box and old military transfer case.(there is a pic of it up in my art.
And my 68 sprint.. I have a spare windsor that may end up in it orrrrr. Not sure. Dancing on the edge of my mind is twin paxtons... After all old gearheads collect weird assed shit. That and some form of fuel injection. We all have interesting side hobbies :)

The Willies is an over kill... but you are right we do collect odd stuff.

Eh it works hard for me

I hope those six big holes are oil wells because you're gonna need 'em!

Only if you open them up hard.

I had a big lie that I used to take to the monthly automotive flea market, it was an extra cast iron manifold for my 351C 4V and I had two autolite 4100 4 barrel carbs attached to a thin plate and bolted atop the single 4 barrel port. So many people would see it and stop dead and have to come over and look, then typically laughing at the fraud! I still have that setting atop my pot bellied stove, genuine us army cannon heater.

Hehe I've seen stuff like that too.

Usually folks would buy something but had to have a catch item to drag them in!

Yep.

I love old school too...

Newer is not always better... the old stuff has class and a history to it.
