Driving Some Ford Fans Crazy!

Forgot I had these pictures. This guy was from the Cayman Islands and had his car shipped in for Cruzin the Coast. A real nice guy and was a ford fan but caught a lot of grief about his car. Beautiful car and the pictures do not to it justice. He said that there were some guys that got pissed about what he had done to the car and would try to start fights with him. Reguardless if you are a Ford or Chevy fan, that car is a work of art!

Many non GM products have been fitted with a SB or BB Chevy Motor...just isn't usually advertised so boldly lol.

if the guy had the money (judging by the car), I wonder why he wouldn't have just built a BBF rather than take a short cut.

Is that supposed to be a cheap stab? Well .... just .... ouch
Yeah, he should have used a Corvette, then it would have been perfect

It is a nice clean setup but a classic like that needs to stay true to itself and have the correct manufacture motor in it. Not sure why but when I see GM motors in Ford's and vice versa it bothers me.

Because he already made one mistake by having a ford body. Built ford tuff with Chevy stuff.

I don't think that car is that bad as you make it out to be. The body is very clean.

I just don't understand why he would put a chevy engine in there, in this day and age it's not like its 'different' or 'unique' to do that anymore. Don't get me wrong, im sure that engine is probably bad ass.
