explain the colt 351

what was the deal with the colt 351? was it ever a production car, or simply an aftermarket 5.8 litre?

i was driving down the street and i saw a 67-68 with colt 351 tagged on the sides. It sparked my curiosity

I have no idea what a Colt 351 is, just that the first 351W or 351C to be installed into the Ford Mustang was in 1969.

yea, i know about that - I suppose the guy just calls his ride the "colt 351". For somereason i thought i'd heard of it before.

Well Dodge made a Colt, but I doubt it had a 351 though.

Now another thought, Colt is another word for horse, or pony, like Mustang or ponycar. Maybe the person who's car you saw was nicknamed "Colt" and had a 351 motor in it. Just a thought?

yea, that's what i figured too
