The one poster says "Pulse" Windshield Wipers. Is that referring to how if you lightly touch the button it wipes once, or was that an actual delay wiper, which I didn't think came out until later?

Found these 2 pics hiding in my computer, the rear shot was taken right after we got done fabing up the 3" stainless exhaust. No crossover and Ultra Flows give the car some real personality.

David, you are correct that interval wipers did not come out until sometime later in the 70's. There was movie about the guy who invented them. He worked for Ford. He was fired at some point but eventually won a lawsuit where he got a large financial compensation.

I agree wholeheartedly with perryka and Alvin. Great car. And I'd love to see a larger photo. I don't know as I've ever seen that color combination and the wheels are perfect.

I'd like to see more of it. Just don't get to see many 67-68 post cars, and that one is just right.

Thank you guys. Really like the car, get a lot of comments at the track and cruising, surprises some older guys how quick it is. Would like to paint it silver, but 5k is a lot of dough right now.

Would be cool to see your Poncho in Hemmings Muscle Machines, just like the issue that arrived yesterday - March 2015 - w similar color and 2dr titled:

MODIFIED MUSCLE
"Plain Jane With Punch"
"Stealthy on the outside, this
full-size '67 Ford Custom 500
packs am FE-fed, 450-HP wallop
that belies its size"

I known the above is about a FERD but instantly reminded me of your PONCHO -surpasses all of the above description IMO.

FWIW the front 3/4 picture is only the small thumb size that I reported when asking if you had a larger version. This one below:

I haven't visited this thread in awhile, but Fat cat's post car and North's wagon are incredible! I would love to own either one. Great cars, guys.

Going by the bigger rocker molding I'm guessing it's a Bonnie?

Here is a pic of my '76 Bonneville, a deal that was too good to past up.
