I had a couple requests to share my Mustang's history with you. I bought my first car when I was 15, it was a 67 coupe. I fixed it up over the years and regretfully sold (traded it for this 67 and money) after owning it about 10 years.
This 67 has been in it's current state (not finished but mostly done) for two or three years now.
I started on it in 1990. It was rusty but I didn't think it was as bad as it turned out to be.
I put new quarters, floor boards, wheel wells, fenders, etc. on it in the early 90's and primed it. My 1st wife left when my oldest son was about 7 months old, I was a single dad for about 3 years. I didn't get much done during those years. I remarried in 94. My new wife got into the project when we could find time and money for the project.
I stuffed a 460 in it in 92 or 93. The 460 was from a early 70's Thunderbird.
Crites motor mounts
It sat around a lot as I had two more boys and was relocated to different parts of the country twice for work.
I finally got busy working on it again and yanked the 460 to rebuild it. The block had been bored before and there was some core shift on a couple cylinders so they needed to be sleeved. I decided to look for a new block. I called around and found a guy who said he had a 429 with a 4 bolt main for $500. I bought it, built it up and put it in the Stang. I had a junkyard C6 in there but it leaked real bad so I had it rebuilt and had a shift kit put in. I was using Crites motor mounts and Tubular Automotive headers with 2" equal length primaries, 3" exhaust and 40 series Flowmasters, Granada Spindles and a Lincoln Versailles 9" rear. I don't know if you guys will know what a Granada or a Lincoln Versailles are but they shared the Mustang, Maverick, Fairlane suspension design.
my wife eventually got tired of the multi-color look so we decided to prime it all one color. She had put a few door dings in it over the years so I made her fix those!
It remained this way for a while... too long
More to come
