I was the 3rd or 4th owner of this car. I was told that the previous owner was a nurse. The engine died on her and her boy friend replaced the flat head motor with a T-Bird 312 Y-Block. That car was a screamer. I managed to get myself in trouble with the police driving it too fast. It took me 3 speeding tickets before I started slowing down.
I even had a high school friend get angry with me over this car. Ron hated Fords with a passion. He would not even ride in my car. He owned a '57 Chevy Convertible with a 283 automatic. Ron would brag about that car and how many Fords he had beat in street racing. He kept wanting me to run against him and I kept saying no. He said that I was chicken because he was sure that he would win. He did not know about my engine, but I told him that he did not want to do this. Well, long story short, we raced and I won. He would not speak to me for a month. I finally showed him my engine and told him that is why I did not want to race him. I have to say that I really enjoyed owning that car.
