1970 Mustang Mach 1, 351 2v engine with
FMX trans still intact. This mustang was painted in medium gold metallic
with ginger interior. I found this rotting away in an old run down MI Dairy
barn, where it has been sitting since the early 80's. The owner said I could
take it away for $500. So I bought it. It's in pretty rough shape though. |
Here is a picture of my 65 Falcon. It
has an interesting history so I just can't get rid of it. It was purchased
new in 65 by an elderly lady in NJ. The lady had a head on collision in the
car in 66 and died. My Grandfather was a Police officer and was contacted by
the body shop where the car was towed and he agreed to buy it after the car
was repaired. The car still has dents in the dashboard from the original
owner. Anyway, he kept it until 83 when he gave it to me when I was 13. I
drove it through high school and it has not been on the road since 87. I
always thought I would restore it but there is too much rust now in the cowl
and floor pans. I'm restoring and identical car now. |
 This car belongs to
a friend of mine. It has been sitting for at least 20 years. It is a 67
Mustang fastback with a 390 3 speed standard. I think someone took out
the automatic and put in a standard before he got it. It was totally
redone in 79 and since then has sat in his barn at his farm. He started
doing the interior and bought a 4 speed for it in the summer of 79 after
the car was painted. While he was doing the interior the car got hailed
on and he seemed to lose interest. I tried to buy the car as I had plans
to clone it into a GT500 but he does not want to sell it. I remember
racing against this car in the mid 70's. It really is one that needs to
be brought back to life. Dale |
