Even with 90hp they snap and guess what, the hub goes with you, and the wheel too! Happened to my dad so many times he decided to design a 1 piece half shaft so if they do break the wheel doesn't fly off. He never made too much money off them so he sold the rights to Summers Brothers. To stay on topic, my first car is the car I have. 1972 240z 3.1L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Borrowed from Dad: 1960 Ford Falcon Ranchero. 170 ci stright 6, 1bbl, 3-on-the-tree, rubber floor mats, bench seat, power assisted nothing. Took the tubes in the AM radio about 1 minute to warm up, but the extra heat was nice in the winter. Drove it to work about 6 months while I saved up for new tires for the Mustang. Dad was thrilled to get it back until my sister started driving, so he swapped an automatic trans for her. Owned by me: 1966 Ford Mustang. 289 V8, 4bbl, 4 speed toploader, A/C, drum brakes, owned since 1979, still drive it, probably had every nut & bolt on and off at some point, still going. Biggest expense: INSURANCE over 30 years has cost 60X the original purchase price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
