    1968 Shelby Black Hornet

    Back to the post. The black MUSTANG is someone's project car, done in the last few years,and they got the old chicken farmer to endorse it. It's not his car. It's not a real Shelby. But, it is a nice lookin' pony!

    Advice need: Mustang II rack in a 68

    Many years ago here there were many of us doing R&P swaps. Search the archives. I do not know the specifics on the Must II rack, but in all probability you will need to verify the width of the complete unit vs the spindle width, tapers of the rod ends vs the spindles, and then input location...

    Mustang Identification

    All classic Mustang production for the new model year usually started in September after the August re-tool. so a November build date would be normal, and would correspond to a low serial number. Now, as a counter, my 1968 Mustang had an August 68 Build date and a very high serial number. So...

    Aftermarket brake upgrade overview article

    Hey gang! Seven years ago, you all helped me write a series of articles for a magazine that covered classic Mustang brake upgrades at that time. And, gave out credits to all that helped here. Many editors and magazines since, it is time to update that story, as I am sure there is new and...

    Time to upgrade exhaust

    I did the AOD swap in the 69 Ragtop a few years back. Many have asked why the stock "H" won't fit, and the reason is the AOD is a much bigger case size, and the stock "H" hipe will not go around it. I had the same problem, I just ran true duals, no "H" connection between the sides, with...

    Distributors - I'm kind of stumped

    In all my Mustangs, both SB and BB, I used a stock distributor with faster springs, and then did the electronic conversion, though I used the Unilite. Also add a stronger coil, quality 8mm wires, and you'll be good with a mild motor. And, it will still look kinda stock, and if the electronics...

    Trying to get rarity of this 1970 Mach 1

    Heya! Feels good to be posting a real question here! It's an "R" code car, I just can't remember if it's a Metuchen or Dearborn car. He has the build sheet, and there is no "X" in the radio box.

    Well, Sunday was the Car show to celebrate the conclusion of the shelby exhibit at the AACA Museum I had helped put together, and lo and behold, look what was on the show field!

    DEJA VU - My old Mustang has been re-incarnated

    The Deceiver has risen from it's unknown fate! I built this car back in the mid 1980's, shelby fiberglass, healthy 302, suspension mods, custom interior and trunk, way ahead of it's time. It was sold to buy a first house in 1990, and I have not seen it since...

    Help Selecting a Power Booster & Master Cylinder for My '65

    My intent is that the new master cylinder will match what you have at the wheels. Your front brakes are converted to calipers, and are stock units that are used with the Master Cylinder? If you go oversize on the front brakes, there could be problems with pedal effort and braking performance...
