Farewell Old Friend

Very sad to let this car go. It is deeply missed.

Beautiful car. I'm surprised you don't feel a connection with it. I only hope my 50 turns out half as nice as yours. Cheers, M.

[@78SilverBronco]

Thanks! What are your plans with your ‘50?

[@SwedeMachine]

Great video. Sorry to hear you have to sell it. I agree with your assessment of the situation. Family always first💪🏼. Keep rockin on my dude🤘🏼🇺🇸

Thanks Chris! Appreciate the kind words! Definitely a tough day letting it go, but fortunately it went to a great home. Hope your doing well man!

Might be a dumb question, but whatever happened to the Foxbody? I heard you say you still have the Bronco so thats cool but I always liked the Fox too. (I was 84Bronco351 way back when if that rings a bell. Was a dumb kid at the time- i remember whining that you used Still D.R.E. on a video for the Bronco. Yeah, I was dense as a child and for that i apologize 😂)

Oh man I do remember you! Haha it’s been a long minute! So I ended up selling the Fox in 2021. I rarely drove it, but it was pretty nice in its final form. The fellow I sold it to treats is amazing, keeps it in the garage and has fixed a few loose ends it had. Both the ‘50 and the Fox couldn’t have gone to better people. I’ve still got the Falcon and the Bronco and most recently a ‘99 Tahoe. I’m trying to limit any further purchases but there are so many old cars out there with lots of potential! Once I get some land I’ll have to add to the stable. Haha oh yeah, I was a dumb kid back in the day too! Now I’m just a dumb adult! How have you been? Do you still have your Bronco?

@@78SilverBronco Never actually had mine! Named the channel after the one my dad had when I was real young. I DID end up buying the 95 F150 he had around the time I joined KZbin though and it needs pretty much everything. I've also got my grandfather's 89 GT and his 68 Camaro and my daily is an 04 Ram conversion truck called a Hemi GTX

[@78SilverBronco]

I was checking out your videos. That white fox is really clean! There are definitely days I miss mine. What all have you got done to it now? Man first gen Camaros are awesome too! I’ve got a couple buddies up in WA that have 68’s and they rip. Great parts availability too which makes them nice to work on. And a Ram for a daily! Sweet! You’ve got the American brands cornered haha I’ve lost my brand loyalty in my old age but often find myself drawn to American cars the most.

@@78SilverBronco The Fox is all stock motor wise. It's a muffler delete, 3.55, 65mm TB, Hurst Billet Plus short throw (the old black one that is ridiculously short, not the ones with the long stick) and some home made subframe connectors. I know it's got an aftermarket clutch and the transmission was rebuilt with a "stronger" first and 2nd gear but whether that's ratio wise or just material I really don't know. I also *just* discovered (okay, re discovered because I knew I'd seen it before) it's got a hole in the passenger floor board which sucks add it to the list 😂. It's not fast but it's the most fun I've ever had in a car. The Camaro is an extreme love hate. I love it. It hates me. The car has _never_ run right and now the motor is fully dead. Wiped a cam lobe out. The two most important men in my life (my father and my Pappaw (mom's dad), who owned the Camaro and Fox before his passing ) worked for Ford so I was kinda raised up to never buy a non UAW car 😂 no disrespect to anyone who buys anything else though

[@78SilverBronco]

Man that Fox sounds like a riot! They are really getting hard to find these days. Hopefully the floor pan isn’t too bad, LMR usually sells most of that stuff. Any further plans with it or just cruising it? Back when I had mine, doing the Cobra brake upgrade was the best thing I did to the car. Those 4 lug brakes were terrible from the factory. Oh no! Wiping out a cam lobe is the absolute worst. Was this on a fresh engine? When I rebuilt the 400 in my bronco, I went roller just to avoid any chance of taking out a cam lobe. It just made me too nervous with the quality of flat tappet lifters these days.
