fisch Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well about a year ago I was one phone call away from getting this 320. But the very day I was going to say yes, I found the ad for my 521 and the price made the 521 to hard to resist. Some of you may remember seeing this truck on ebay a while back. The owner was a really awesome guy who sent me tons of pics which I am now getting around to sharing. My memory is a little foggy, but the story I remember is, It was a Maine truck that an artist owned and did all the work too. Ford Mustang V6 motor (74 I think) Pinto steering rack and pinion. Currie Enterprises rear end (I think) Hand made fender flares. All metal, no bondo. Only complaint from the owner was that is was hard to turn the wheel when standing still. Had to weigh down the bed to stop it from spinning! Looking back at these pictures i wonder if I made a mistake not getting it! Damn it is straight! But a few grand for this, next to a couple hundred for the 521 made the decision for me. If I think of anything else I will let you know. Pic time Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 That is nice, not too fond of the flares on the bed, but the rest of it kicks ass! Can you post these up in the 320 gallery as well? Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Sure thing Bee, just posted it in the gallery. I think the fenders came as a result of the tires sticking so far out. But I agree they aren't the most atractive things for the lines of the truck! I do dig the fenders on that orange flamed 320 in the gallery! Would've liked to see that treatment here too.

Edz280zx Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I could be wrong, but I believe that truck comes up for sale once in awhile here in Missouri. Maybe he moved here? Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I believe you are right. As i recall he bought the truck from the guy in Maine I think. I found it on one of those country wide Craigslist searches I do every now and then. But I had seen it on E-bay prior to that. He even offered to deliver it to my door in Ma for a $300 delivery fee. Which would have saved me $1000. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I like how he used the spare tire carrier mounts for the rear sway bar. Thanks for post Fisch! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 That's got a lot of nice little touches :cool: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 The Pinto had a V6 like that. The rear end looks like a Mustang or Maverick Grabber. Nice master cylinder. Mike, is that a 320 box, because the Ford Courier looked similar. Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 yeah, it is still a 320 box. all the main body lines, hinges, tailgate are there. pretty sweet truck. couldve done without the flares IMO Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 It's a 320, but somebody did a ton of work to it. The locking gas door fits the stock opening, but the hinge area had to be added. I agree about the flares, but the work itself is awesome! I can't even imagine how much time it took to work the body line into those flares! Quote Link to comment
