    Another should I buy question

    For me this ones seems to be more of a if it's accurate I'd be crazy not to buy. I've been looking for a good project and came across this 1965 coupe for $2,000. It looks pretty solid and the interior looks redone or extremely nice. It also looks as if it's the early 65(1964 1/2) because I...

    Skinny on the 351

    So what is the skinny on the 351? My 1971 Grande decodes to have had a 351 2V(H) and I'm being told it would have been a 351C. A search on the Internet gave some information but I'm still confused about some of it. I read in 1971 they didn't make the 351W thats why my mustang would have had...

    My new project

    I have been looking for a new mustang project since I sold my last one 4 years ago. I'm not that keen on the later coupes, but hey, it's a mustang. It is a 1971 Grande that originally was equipped with a 351 2V and a C-4 automatic. It looks to be very complete other than no motor. I think the...

    Garage find: What's it worth?

    Interior looks pretty good although the back seat is full of parts. Are these original rims?

    Garage find: What's it worth?

    I'm still waiting on the guy to call. He was at work when I was in town, but his wife sounded pretty interested. I'm just trying to get a ballpark figure on what I should pay. I bought my 1970 Mach I last year for $1000. The body was a bit better and after changing fluids, points, plugs and a...

    Garage find: What's it worth?

    I made a trip to a small town and found 3 mustangs. This one looks like it really needs rescuing. What do you think it's worth?

    Can't get my car out of 2nd gear

    First thing I thought of was the Sammy Hagger song Can't drive 55 :D It's the stock shifter. Can I get to the linkage through the top?

    Can't get my car out of 2nd gear

    I was headed down to get gas and for no apparent reason it stuck in 2nd gear. I have never had any problems before. No hard shifting, no noise no nothing. It's the three-speed manual transmission that came out in the car. What can I try to get it free? I have tried rocking the car and moving the...

    Left turn + heavy acceleration locks steering

    When I'm turning left from a dead stop and let out on the clutch with fairly heavy acceleration I can feel some thing hitting my steering linkage and blocking it until I let off the gas. I looked last night while replace the drivers side motor mount which was bad and saw nothing out of place...

    How rare is rare?

    Thanks MCABOSS. What I wish you could find is a break down not just of single option production numbers, but combined options. For example, I'm not sure how many 1970 Mach I's were produced in Calypso Coral so lets say 4,000. I like to be able to find out how many of this 4,000 had a three-speed...

    How rare is rare?

    Anyone familiar with a book called Mustang by the numbers? Does this book break down the production numbers on things like AC, PS, PB, Paint color, Wheels, interior options and sport seat? I would like to know who many 1970 Mach I's in Calypso Coral with a three-speed trany, no PS/PB/AC/Sport...

    How rare is rare?

    Thats the way I've always seen it. The fewer the rarer. I agree I prefer AC over non-AC but that should be considered a comfort or option and not a rarity. I can see advertising it as fully optioned but it sure doesn't seem to be very rare. Personally, A muscle car with HP robbing AC/PS/PB...

    How rare is rare?

    I don't know about you guys but I love watching ebay and some of the claims on the auctions. It seems almost every Mach I listed on ebay claims to be rare, yet they list it having a 351c, AC, PS, PB and a 4 speed with rear sport seat. Now maybe I'm just seeing all rares being listed but they...

    Need help with a storyboard for car shows

    Can anyone point me to some examples of a storyboard for show cars? I'm not sure if thats the proper name or not, but it's those books or boards you see at the car shows that tells the history on the car. I'm wanting to put one together for mine but have no idea if there is a design/protocol I...
