Ford G-Machines?

[RussMS]

Any thoughts as to why there are so few Ford-based G-machines represented here? The F-Body Chevys outnumber the Fords over 10-1 in the members rides. Even the Mopars outnumber the Fords over 2-1.

Is this just here at Lat-G or is this the way it pretty much is?

What do you guys think?

I think that's just the way it is, Russ. If you look at every category of our hobby (other than street rods) it seems to ring true.

I have a '68 Mustang coupe patiently waiting in my driveway for it's turn

I know lots of people building Ford PT cars so I expect their numbers to grow..

If you think Ford's are hard to come by, try looking for a Buick. When i bought my Camaro i thought i would not see to many of them. Boy was i wrong.

Now that it is almost finished i am thinking of my next project. So now i am thinking of a pt 70 Buick GS with a fuel injected 455. What do you think? Just trying to do something a little different.

If you know anybody looking for a almost finished 67' Camaro let me know. Just have to finish wiring and get new rims and tires.

In all honesty, the Ford's you guys have had in the mag over the last few months have been by far the most interesting features (DISCLAIMER: I have not seen the issue with Bill's GTO). The white open road racer, the red one built by Year-One, the red one owned by the architecht firm and the Unique Performance GT350SR piqued my interest far more than anything else......and Im a Camaro guy.

I am not sure why there are not more Mustangs
done in the PT/G machine style.
Obviously there were MANY more 65-69 Mustangs built than there were 67-69
Camaro's.
A couple of drawbacks to the 65-66 Mustangs is that tire size in the rear is limited to about a 255 (some of gone bigger but it is a stretch!)series tire in the rear w/o going with a mini tub. Also big block motors don't fit in the 65-66 cars w/o shock tower removal..
On the other hand an advantage that the 65-66 Mustangs have is that they are much lighter than their Camaro counterparts. Usually 400-500lbs. depending on options and modifications
Personally I am happy that PT Mustangs are more scarce.It makes my car stand out
