Ford Offers New Deuce Coupes

don't really care about what they are doing but I got a kick out of them telling folks to put a 327 stovebolt in the ford.

First, a stovebolt ain't a 327. It's slang for the chebbie straight six because some of the engine fasteners they used looked like stove bolts. Secondly, the reason the article mentioned the 327 is because that's exactly the engine that was in John Milner's car in American Graffiti. So I think the reference was ok. Regardless of the reference, the 327 is a fine little engine.
 
Considering a Brookeville 3 window coupe starts at $25K, if they can price it at $20K for the final product they should have a good seller.
