    Pics of my car if you're interested...

    Well, the pics can be very deceiving. The car needs a total restoration. The interior was all dried up and cracked from the Arizona heat, the panels were dirty and scratched up and the paint job was a 2 out of 10. The original owner bought it in '67 from CA and then a year later moved to AZ...

    Break out the strippers baby!!

    It's time for me to start stripping off the paint on my 67 fastback. I want it down to bare metal. I'm also going to strip the engine bay/undercarriage. Can anyone recommend some good chemical strippers and where to buy them from? Any tips on how to go about doing this? Lastly, how...

    OT: Rides (On TLC)

    Geeze.... talk about everyone's buttons being pushed... My 2 cents: 1)I like Eleanor's looks (hence the SN) 2)I agree with both sides (over-priced but also far greater than the originals performance enhancements) 3)I like Pakrat's car and attitude about protecting these pony cars...

    How much is too much roller rocker arm noise?

    That's funny because just the other day I mentioned that to my girlfriend while driving my stock 289. It sounds like a sewing machine. lol What freaked me out was today I took it out on the highway for the first time since I bought it and when I got off the highway at idle I had a pretty...

    Quick Electric Choke Question...

    Hey guys, I installed my electric choke conversion kit onto my carb a couple weeks ago. But I think I did it wrong. Inside the black choke cap is a coil spring. I just inserted the metal end of it into the slot on the choke assembly and fastened it. But the idle is always low and stalls the...

    3 Speed Stick Shift ???

    I can't answer your questions but I can tell you that I have a fully functional 3-speed toploader sitting in a crate in my garage that I pulled off of my 289 when I did a swap to a 4-speed a month ago... I even have the original shifter and a brand new shift knob. I also live in New...

    Price of classics going up

    Yeah... it's pretty nice to see that I bought my 67 Fastback last year in April for less than the low retail and right now it's definitely an average retail car.. if not a little better. 1967 Mustang Fastback w/ 289 - 4-speed - A/C - Deluxe Interior Low: $14,505 Average: $24,970 High...

    FlowTech Glasspacks, yes or no?

    I have 1966 Shelby GT-350 side exit exhaust on my 1967 Fastback with a 289... Sounds f***ing crazy on WOT, but cruisin' or at idle it just purs nice and low, not obscene or anything. I've heard glasspacks before and been like "jesus.. turn it down a bit, it sounds like a$$" but these are a lot...

    Uh oh... VIN code issue

    The data plate on the door of my mustang was painted over by morons when the car was painted but I can still see the numbers clearly with the stamped metal. My VIN is as follows, along with the data plate info: 7R02C163918 63A 6 2F 06A 72 0 1 While decoding the information I...
