    That 427 sat in my basement forever while dad put it together as Robin built the car. Hearing that beast fire up on the engine stand was a special day and seeing the car completely finished and ready to go across the block is really cool!

      Way cool man! I'll bet it ripped down the road. What ever happened to it?

      @@musclecarswitheric I traded it for a 69 Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet , ruffley around 1973 or 74 . Back then these muscle cars weren’t worth much because of the gas shortage ( crisis ) of 1973 where you had to wait in line sometimes up to an hour or more to buy a few gallons of gas !

      @@thomasdaum1927 I remember those days. I got my license in 1974 and got my family's station wagon as a hand-me-down. It was a Buick. Thanks for watching and your comments.

    That's a beautiful Cat - when I heard the door open, it brought back sweet memories of my '67 Cougar. Thanks for the research

    A tad bit off on his numbers, they made 357 of these with the 427 and and an additional 37 with the 428 Cobra Jet, with a total of 394 units overall.
