Jack’s Ford Falcon
Lets, start out with where the Falcon is on the numbers game:According to HAGERTY insurance, the 1967 Ford Falcon Sport Coupe with a 289 and bucket seats(a rare option) would bring 18,000,to 21,000 in Number 2 condition..I, will say my car is a high 2. A, 2 car, should be able out of the box, to win awards in local shows, magazine potential, show little wear, paint in excellent to very good condition. From the start the car was that way..I'm, just the 3nd owner of the car, the 2nd owner only had it 3 weeks ,and had a very expensive SONNY LEONARD pro mod engine show up ,and needed the money to pay for it. The car was shipped cross country in a covered trailer...the paint was out of this world, the full original interior was just unreal...chrome etc..I bought the car sight unseen...but had hundreds of pictures sent to me for inspection. I bought it based on his wife's statement...the original owner told them, "DONT GET OUR BABY WET" we never got it wet when we owned it. I, screwed up and got caught in a rain storm...the wipers failed...I,never fixed them as a reason not to get it wet either. There is now major mods to the car from front to back...the 289 radiator, is still there ,but with the support of a water pump from AUSTRAILA..it is able to super cool this car sitting in front of a PAXTON SUPERCHARGED, DSS RACING 410 CI.SBF...Pushing near 500 RWHP...467 LBS of torque at 5800 RPMS (ALL MONEY CLAIMS SUPPORTED BY RECIEPTS) 12, 846.00 it was a turn key carb engine ,which I later bought the supercharger,got COMP CAMS ..to custom grind a blower cam. New Hooker headers ,a 1000.00 spent on a AEROMOTIVE FUEL system ...pump, filter, regulator. from the Hookers back...are 40 MUFFLERS to chrome tips. Oh yeah....1200.00 in a front end rebuild....WILWOOD BRAKES.. The car has been 100 percent rewired by a real pro...a RON FRANCIS wire harness,was installed. A .NEW TCI 'STREET FIGHTER C6,and convertor went in with the new engine. GOD. I must be forgetting something...just over 78, 000 original miles...at leas 35 show awards ranging from BEST FALCON BEST FORD BEST MUSCLE CAR....RUNNER UP IN CLASS ..in the PORTLAND ROADSTER SHOW..2006 ISSUE OF LEGENDARY FORD MAGAZINE...cover and feature story. Last, this year 10,000 dollars in parts and labor to install a complete ART MORRISON 4 LINK- COIL OVER SHOCK STRANGE ENG.FORD 9 INCH WITH 35 SPLINE AXLES ,WILWORD REAR BRAKES. It will kill me to sell it...but a serious health issue has mandated it.

Rob’s 1963 Ford Fairlane
1963 Fairlane 500, Sports Coupe. Factory built with 4-speed, console, buckets. originally a 260CI motor. This car was drag-raced in the 60's at Lancaster Speedway near Buffalo NY. After I purchased it in 1995 (Basket Case) I found that it had a "built" 302 in it featuring a vintage single-plane manifold with a Holley, aftermarket cam, headers at some time in the past and other clues (like missing parts to make it lighter). It had 4.11 gears and a Locker rear-end also. I've since added; frame connectors, original dual-point distributor with electronic igniter, ceramic coated headers, Disc brakes, and am in the process of changing over to a Tremec 5-Speed Transmission. Eaton Detroit Spring supplied springs, and was the only place that had the rubber insulators that were needed. Thanks Eaton Detroit Spring!!!

This was an original 1956 newspaper delivery truck from the Oakland Tribune that was given to my grandfather as a bonus in 1958. My father and his brothers all drove it in high school, as I did. After a frame up resto in 1985 and several 235 engines, I finally got it back on the road after 27 years of storage with a 350 and four on the floor. After trying several sets of front mustang 2 springs for the IFS fat-man kit, I ordered a set of springs from Eaton. The Eaton springs were perfect, whereas the other springs were cut too low. Thank you Eaton springs, the springs were perfect on the first try!!!

Skateboard Mark’s 75 ford Ranchero 500
I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought this abomination. It's 429 has better specs than a Super Cobra Jet, and yet it is EVIL. IT EATS CHILDREN! Perhaps it is the Frankenstein array of parts from other brands, other Ford models of different years, Chrysler, Chevy, and even Harley-Davidson share a home under the hood. But one of the first things I did was to put stiffer and lowered front springs under that big block, so now when she runs 'em over, I barely notice.

Victoria’s 1968 Ford Mustang
We spent two years restoring our pony. It turns out the final - and best - upgrade we did to this car was to stop at the NPD booth during their Mustang Rally and speak with a gentleman about the springs for our car. Turns out, we spoke with the owner of the company who very graciously advised us to call the company in the morning and speak with Kim. Kim was a delight - very helpful and knowledgeable. She assisted us in ordering the correct ride height for our car. We absolutely love the results! The car is responsive, corners like it's on rails, and no longer bottoms out over a railroad track. Thank you, Eaton Springs! Our car is better than ever!

Craig’s 1966 Mustang
The classic Mustang is popular and many people own them. My story is simple. This car was my dad's . 1966 Mustang. He bought it in 1969 from a work friend. He used it for work and when retired in Florida we used it going to the beach etc. My dad passed too early (1992). I brought the car back and 7 years ago had it restored. The person who restored it was going through a depression and he said the work helped him cope. We remain friends to this day. Nothing but good came from this car. A memory of dad and a friendship with the guy who restored the car to this day!
Alan’s 1968 Chevy Camaro Convertible
I bought this about 5 years ago and have been doing various restorations & modifications to it. It was completely stock when I bought it; a 327, 2 bbl with maybe 200 hp; air conditioning and a 2 speed Powerglide transmission. Since then I've put in a 400 HP Blueprint 350 4-bolt main engine with Edelbrock performer series intake and 600 cfm carb, all hooked to a 4L60e 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission. I've completely rebuilt the front end and used Eaton Detroit Springs for my new multi-leaf springs in the rear. I just got it painted and only a couple next steps. I'm going to add a posi rear end with 3:42 gears, as it's still got the original 3:08 setup.

This car was a barn find in New York State, and had been stripped of engine, trans and axles for the war effort. Since parts are extremely rare, a resto mod had to be done to get back on the road. Chevy 350, TH350 trans, Mustang II front axle are some of the parts that were used. Eaton custom made the front springs, and they work great !!
Giorgio’s 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
I got this car in 1968 and drove it since. After a change of the cylinder head after 150'00 km, the engine had a discontinued acceleration. It took me about 2 years of checks and adjustments until I found a team of mechanics who wanted to find out where the trouble was, on free weekend work. They found out by comparing the numbers, that there was a wrong carburetor mounted (mistakenly exchanged with a similar model by the cylinder head repair). After mounting a new carburetor, the car ran well again. The front brakes have been modified to disc brakes because the heavy car did not beak enough. Several times the body has been repaired from rust. Now I have a stainless steel exhaust. As a veteran, I use the car only on nice days.
