Yup, that old 8N is now the most reliable Ford in the garage now that the ERA is gone. Unfortunately the flathead four leaks enough that the floor underneath it ought to be declared a Superfund site.

Front to back, left to right, the picture shows the 8N, Ferrari 308, ERA, GT40, '70 Z/28, '90 Mustang 5.0 coupe (that and the Z/28 are what's lurking under cover), Lister, and Ferrari Mondial convertible. The Z/28 was my high school ride and the Mustang my college car. Although I strive to keep everything in running condition, neither car is worth much except in sentimental value terms. The 'Stang in particular has led a hard life--first nitrous, then a Paxton blower, sometimes used together...it's remarkable to me that I've never had the heads off of that motor. More amazing yet that it still fires right up with something like 125,000 miles on the odometer, no smoke, just the rumble through the Flowmasters...
