About my Courier

Your lookin at a ford courier built in jan 1972 (first model year)that i drove by every day for about 3 yrs. I stopped on a hunch and asked if was for sale.The guy said that he had never thought about sellin. Lucky for me he was hard up for beer money so i offered 200 bones.he jumped on it and it was all over but the cryin . I drug it home and imedately got to work. I installed a new set points,battery,and some fresh petro.she fired in about three cranks,I WAS STOKED.I drove it to the parts shack and aquired some 2 1/2"blocks and a new tip for my torch.IT WAS ON!!!!!

Oh man!! Thats a huge engine!!! I cant wait to see that huge monster inside the little mini!!! Its going to sound so mean man!!! ha ha ha ha we kinda had the same problem. I have two brothers. One is a MiniTrucker and the other is a mustang guy. All three of us like the drag races. So my mustang brother always give us a hard time. So my brother istalled a 5.0 in his mazda and it shut my brother up. So now they give me a hard time   ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I am workin on another mazda with a rotaty engine to at least keep up with them

Thanks for the comment bro!! Thats bad ass man. A fully custom front end, well entire bag set up!! Are you goin to keep the same wheel size that you have? The plans for the mazda are goin to intall a roll pan, lisence plate box, get the body straight and prime her. Hopefully by the summer all of that happens. Then chrome five spoke 18s and leave like that for a while and put my focus and attention to my ranger
