A True Low Dollar Backyard Build

Class of '76 here. My first car was a 1968 Cortina GT.(English Ford). I scooped ice cream and soft serve for $4.50 and hour. I soon worked at Disney in 1975 for $7.44 an hour. Had to drive 36 miles each way. That little car kicked ***. 1.6 litre Kent engine with a cam, solid lifters, and most importantly, 4.10 gears. It was very quick, but only had a top speed of about 100MPH. After a horrendous crash, I scored a 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire from an elderly woman. Besides my Mopars, that car will always be one of my favorites. Grandmother of the 442.
