What to Know About yesterday’s comments of note
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“There are few things that could improve Fort Stockton. This Texaco station would be one of those. One morning it could simply appear, as if the town had been holding its breath for eighty years and finally exhaled in porcelain enamel and red stars.
It isn’t a working gas station, not really. Nobody’s pumping Sky Chief into a ’57 Ford Sunliner or wiping windshields with a rag that’s seen seven administrations. It’s a shrine. A perfectly scaled, lovingly obsessive recreation, right…”
“With the recent unveiling of the Dark Horse SC, it only cements that the GT350/R is the last of its breed. Naturally aspirated, special engine (high revving flat plane crank) with a high quality Tremec transmission. The car has already reached legendary status, often compared with a Porsche GT3. The sound is intoxicating, especially north of 6,000 rpms.”
“My dad bought a new 406 w/3x2s in early ‘63. Ford introduced the 427 fastback “legend” as a 63 1/2 model. My dad blew up his 406 and Ford replaced it with a 427 shortblock…under warranty. He will be 85 next week. This one would be a great birthday present!”
