I heard Willow was sold. Any news?

In the early 1980s, there was an Avenger GT-12 near my house. It was sitting there for years. One day I stopped, and knocked on the door. I asked if it was for sale. We looked at the car. The guy said $4,000 dollars. I almost choked. Said, 'thank you' and left. Around 1985/6 it was gone...Heard rumors the guy passed away, the car and house was sold. Thats my adventure with one...

Commiefornia?You folks enjoy our federal tax dollars....hows the economy where you live.Immigrants would be my neighbors,generally decent ,law abiding Christian people.Been all over SoCal and haven't seen a law broken in years outside of speeding.If you hate Cali. don't come here we don't need the negative energy.Again,we are fine here,great quality of life.Sadly haters will always be haters.Again,no one is asking you to come here,so if where you live is so swell stay there.Weird when a site that is supposed to be about cars(the best of which were made in Cali becomes political....As your hero ( apparently) would say"sad"........

Dude,
You live in fantasyland. I was born and raised in L.A. Left that dump of a state, and never looked back.

Anything less than 1 mill is considered a dump now in Ca. Try Vista, Ca. Its in northern San Diego County. Btw, water is not 'scarce' in Vegas. Its like LA, on watering restrictions...

Will there be California gestapo at SAAC-50 preventing the mass attack of classic beasts?

That's a good one!

A Shelby buddy and I speaking about this very subject this morning. Answer: "Whats the difference, who cares" was his reply...gotta agree. Fact is, IT was done.

This is one of the reasons I left Kommifornia and moved to Nevada. Same weather, far superior car culture here. Yes, many are like myself, ex-California folks.
And, btw, Shelby American is 7 miles from my house.

Same Weather???

I live at the beach.... Not where its 500 degrees in the SUMMER       

Truth be told... California has its problems and I hate the politics here...

However, I can drive "any car" 350 plus days a year.

Santa Barbara weather is no where near Vegas, nor is it like LA weather. My original comment was referencing LA/SFV to Vegas.

Your confusing Phoenix for Vegas, my friend. IF you are going to compare apples to apples, Tahoe or Mt. Charleston would be a good comparo. Btw, I can also drive 'any car' here 350 plus days a year.

My engine for the 1969.

The only 'negative' concerning the X Plan: Ford does not have to honor it. Some dealers will say: "Sorry, we don't participate in that program".

I believe those are the XE/SK Dominator spider intakes on the engines that Dr. John posted.

Yes, I suspect there a couple different ones?

Other then the hole added in the bottom for the added different choke valve after aprox feb 1969 I am not aware of any nuance differences in the base. I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

Yes, the Ca. cars had a hole/hose to the charcoal canister on the passenger side. IF the cars were sold after January 1970, and or for all 1970 models.

CA was excluded by the OP if you read all of the posts.

Yes, I did read it. Was just expanding some knowledge to the topic my friend.

That's a bad ass car.  What kind of induction system did you have?  Your namesake may be an indication.  If so, how was that exotic setup?  I was suggesting the cross-boss for a friend but he seems to want to keep the stock carb on it.  The cross-boss aesthetically is very pleasing to the eye.

Yep, I ran the Cross-Boss and the 875cfm Inline. Check out my avatar...a 1425cfm 'B' Inline on my current Boss 429 (Can-Am 494) engine.
