      Maybe I'm nuts, but I've always thought a Lincoln Mark III would make a sweet PT car. (Cheap, 460 V8, easily found for less than $5k).

      If only they didn't weight 2.5 tons.

      Superlites, perhaps?
      My vote for unusual Ford pt car is the Cortina, built in England. We got them here from '63-'69. Someday I'll post pics of mine!

      I like the Cougars. I've put some work in it since I've aquired it but I have more to go.

      Festiva - Hah. I drove one of those through college. What a classic. You couldn't kill that car - I tried.

      I've always wanted to build a Maverick. You can pick them up very cheap too. Just a thought.

      If I were to build something a little newer, I'd go with a late 70's early 80's Fairmont all decked out with Fox Body suspension goodies from Maximum Motorsports.

      Peace out!

      My vote goes to a 1968/69 Torino Fastback for obvious reasons..

      I vote for 1964 or 65 Fairlane, kinda a thunderbolt that cuts corners. Next would be the 1969 Cougar (and mustang parts make it cheaper) in a Trans am styling. Then comes the 1966 or 67 Fairlane or any of the Torinos from 1968 to 1970. How about a 1970 Falcon.......way cool. If you wanted to go way off the choosen path and still do a Mustang........Mustang II, that makes the Pinto mainstream.

      I tip my hat to anyone doing a off model of the bigger manufactures, you can tell this cause I'm doing the pro-touring thing to a Monte Carlo.

      My vote on a 69-70 Maverick. Work with its advantages and keep the weight very low, aluminum 8.2" smallblock, not too big wheels, fortified T5, race style interior with lots of riveted bare aluminum sheet (hide sound deadener behind it!), fuel cell, roll bar........
      Damn, now I want one myself!

      Other rides: 1969 Mustang GT1

      I say go with a cougar or torino, I have a 71 cougar conv. with a FI 5.0 and AOD, lowered with staggerd 18's and future plans call for better brakes and suspension mods but it's a cool pro cruiser with air tilt and a/c and you never see another modded one. Got 26mpg on power tour last year......

      In terms of parts availability and pricing, a Cougar is the best "b-list" model to do because pretty much all the Mustang parts fit on it.

      I still kinda miss my '66 Galaxie though - 429, with 4-link rear end and decent suspension up front too, making it go around corners wasn't too bad. But it's a one-year-only design and it's extremely unpopular for some reason.

      My father in law had a 73 Montego 2 door with three in the tree. My Dad had a 68 Torino GT That would be a killer PT car.

      Anything but a Cougar, those things are ugly and they smell.

      Also I don't want too many of them out there when I finish mine!
