Well, bring your horse trailer down, we will try and round some up! I am sure we could get a breeding pair, but I think we might have to go kawasaki cowboy on them, horses might not be fast enough.

We might have the best luck with a dart gun!

you have thought about this before. haven't you? dart gun is a much better idea, lol

 

[Musket Man]

I would never think up a crazy idea like that

My grandfather killed this blacktail in 1946 on the ranch I grew up on in CA. Its the only animal he ever had mounted. I just got it out if his old house. Its in great shape for its age!

This was my grandmas car, 1966 Mercury Comet they bought new. Best I can figure it has sat in the garage for 28-30 years. I remember we had it running once and I think I was 5-7 and the last tags on it are 1986. It has 96,000 miles and is all original other then they did have it painted once. I cleaned the carb and put new plugs and points and fresh gas and it started right up! It even has some breaks. Got 5 miles on it already HAHA! Pretty amazing after sitting that long!! Im going to fix it up and go visit my sister in Oklahoma with it

Save the old Ca plates as they are getting to be collectors.

 

[Musket Man]

Dont worry CC, definitely will be saving the plates! I even found all the original paperwork, invoice, window sticker, owners manual, receipt for gas at .36/gal, ect in the glove box.

It is a nicely kept older car. With all the documentation, if you ever decide to sell it, you can get more for it. Does it have a 289 in it?

 

[Musket Man]

Thanks CC! Yes it has a 289 and the mercomatic transmission. It will never be for sale.

 

[Mountain Matt]

awesome car. You definitely don't see those around anymore. Good luck with the project

Never say never!! But as a Ford (Merc too)guy, I'd take it in a heartbeat!!
Before and after....... my 57 Ranchero

Dang thats one nice looking ride there CC

 

[Musket Man]

I can say never on that car and a few other things and I mean never! LOL I would like to get an old Ranchero someday, but yours is to purdy for me and getting one all fixed up would take all the fun out of it.

I spent a year building it while I was recuperating from cancer surgery, it was great therapy. Has a 351 Cleveland in it that I built, did all the bodywork myself too.

Always more satisfying and fun to do it yourself! I enjoy working on old rigs. I wont sell it to you but I will come visit you with it when I take it to Oklahoma to see my sister. It might be a couple years but Im going to do it!

 

[Colorado Cowboy]

You are always welcome.

 

[Timberstalker]

[Musket Man]

It was so terrible the first night that I had the same thing last night. Tonight I forced myself to choke down some deer steaks
