I love Zips car examples from the good days!!!! Wish I was there.
My buddies dad but a nice 40 Ford 2dr Sedan gasser in 68ish. He still has it. It was parked by 1970ish with a cracked 9" rear. It is a 4-spd nasty 327 car. He said he took it on I5 at 120mph back in the day, it took up all 4 lanes trying to keep it on the road. Scarey. I saw that car in his shop not too long ago... 4 flat tires on Hali-brand slotted wheels. A thick layer of dust covers the metallic Ruby red... tuck & roll...just sitting there for 40+ years. What a time capsule. Kills me... absolutely kills me. I bet the oil in that motor is like peanut butter. I think he said it was in Hot Rod mag in the late 60's. Nice car.
