My Dad and I are in
search of a Mustang Fastback to restore. We stumbled over this one
in a junkyard in KY. This 65 inline 3-speed car was in exceptional
shape from the body up. The frame was on the ground and we could
see through the engine bay and the trunk that the frame was badly
rusted. The whole trunk pan was rusted through. We were sure
under all that carpet that the rest of the pans were too. But the
positives about this car were that everything was there; all the
emblems, glass was intact along with the window trim, all the interior
was there. The only thing missing was 3 hubcaps. You may not
be able to see in the pics but the car is literally buried frame on the
ground. Now the owner of this junkyard says it's been sitting for
only 6 years, but we looked at the last tag on the plate and it said 78.
The owner is someone who may rub off as a guy that can't remember
anything but he is as sharp as a needle. It had about 75000
original miles. |
I found these 2 1966 Mustang
Convertibles literally in a barn in OH by word of mouth. They had been
in there for over 20 years. Both V-8 cars, White one auto, Maroon one
Stick. The white one had a pony interior, 8k rally pack. I was
able to rescue these and the white one is being restored by its new owner. |
