I made a thread about this car a couple years ago but didn't add it to this thread.

I bought a rough but running 72 TA clone. I put a better engine in it to make it more reliable and I drive it like this once in a while. White/blue isn't my favorite, but it's funny how much people freak out thinking it's real lol, so I'll drive it like this until I get some other projects done.

That's exactly how I am with my 71. You wouldn't believe the people who think its a real 455 T/A.

It now has a LS in it, but I guarantee people will still think its real.

I enjoy it though.

I saw the over the hood shot in view finder. It's a money shot for sure.

Craig, how do you like the ride comparison of the Poly's? Fun right!

Yes Chris, you can get me the book for Christmas (I don't have to celebrate that holiday, do I?).

Greg, they require a bit more attentive driving than the radials but I thought the overall ride and handling seemed fine. I'm after all not racing the car just driving it to shows on normal streets. One other thing I do kind off drive it like and old man. Right Brew?
