    ... is get a '66 2+2 and turn it into a driver. Want to keep exterior more or less original in appearance (wouldn't mind adding some "fake" GT elements), want the interior to look very original. Add Rally Pac, under dash A/C, maybe a console. Spend a lot of focus on suspension and brake upgrades/updates. Put in a 331 or 347 stroker, probably still keep it carbed.

    I'll want to drive this thing a lot, including work commutes on some nice days.

    Miss my old '66 I sold 20 years ago for $2,400. :mad:

    Is this plan so wrong? :shrug:

    You are obviously one of exquisite taste and high moral caliber.

    Do it.

    I miss my Gran Torino (high school car that also took my wife and I on our honeymoon after college), and I fondly remember my sister-in-law's '72 Cougar XR-7. Now I'm working on a '73 Cougar XR-7, which (other than an 0.030-over rebuild) will be "fan to rear axle" the same drivetrain and mods as my Grannie.

    I'm very impatient to clear off the other drags on my spare time and get the old girl running again.
