Barn Find Near Comanche TX......Red you missed one ;)
« on: April 12, 2014, 08:23:22 AM »
Red, guys look what my friend found and bought near Comanche TX.  He got it cheap ;).....he did not send any pics until he bought it....he thought some of "us" glastron nuts might find it.

I don't remember this type of paint scheme....later model or custom from factory?? It has a ford 460 in it in perfect condition.  Nice Trailer too

Looks very nice!!  is that a dark blue or black?  I would have to say a custom paint job for sure.  Very tastefully done.
.. it is what it is ... and that is how it should be!

Hotwired,

Black to match the windshield and trailer...also has black pinstriping along sides also..

FYI...Red told me he had not seen this scheme either????......and that is saying something  ;)

I hope to see the boat in person in the next few weeks... I will take higher quality pics and engine...

I would agree that its a custom paint job after the boat left the factory.

I don't know who Holman and Moody is but I do know if you got to build a 460 you got to dig Much deeper in your pocket to build a 460 than you do a 350 chevy, at least twice the price.

Holman and Moody is to Ford, what Joe Mondelo is to Oldsmobile.  Yer lucky you don't own either one.
