I can only imagine the fuel costs to Boscobel with a car like that.

 

[kustomizingkid]

Probably gets something like 10-14mpg....

 

[94m5]

I doubt VERY highly that it will touch 14 on the highway. Maybe at 45 to 50 MPH.

Those old big cube carb'd fords did'nt do well in the fuel economy sector.
