Man, if I had that money, I wouldn't have near as much cars as him. Lol. I'd have a select few that I'd wanna rebuild. An that would be it. Until.... I found another car I fell in love with. Hahaha.

Yah his personally seems cool, and if I had that $ is buy tons of cars literally ha.

Wish I could be friends with him, he seems like one of us typical "car guys" but with the money to really enjoy car collecting.

@ Corey. Thanks for giving the spec. I couldn't remember how close it was. LOL

The Windsor block 302's are about 50cc's short of truly being 5.0's, so technically they're right, kinda pedantic not to call it a 5.0 when that's what ford called it but.....

Its actually true about the original 302 being 4.9L. The named it "five point o" because it had a catchy name and they felt that people wouldn't want it if it was the same as the inline 300 six which is also a 4.9L. Today's 5.0 Coyote is a true 5.0.

I was just about to comment on that Theo. I'm glad someone beat me to it. Carbuzz isn't always 100% accurate. lol

Theo Hubbard Aug 04, 2012
Pretty sure a 302 is a 5 liter but ok car buzz whatever you say lol

There is something in this one of a kind classic that you cant find in supercars

Andrew McNeal Aug 04, 2012
Right, he truly loves cars, not just the fast exotic ones like a lot of celebrities have.

That's why jay is a true car person.. A car can cost 5 grand.. But if there is something about it and has s soul, there it is!

And, they would've been a one wheel wonder back then too. Props to Toby for rebuilding such a beautiful piece of history.

Paul Lissona Aug 05, 2012
Yah that's probably why.

Andrew McNeal Aug 04, 2012
I don't think reverse lights were required in 1963, not til a few years later.

Paul Lissona Aug 04, 2012
They added those back up lights.
