    Opinions on 70 Mach 1

    It's not that great if you want to put it back to near original, because it's missing the important parts. But if you have the resources to do it, or don't care what's in the car. :shrug:

    What should I get?

    It has the same modding potential as the N/A Cobras. Yes it can be supercharged, but I'm pretty sure some of the kits render the Shaker inoperable.

    People suck. I've had lots of things happen to my cars but the worst were. '66 Mustang ~ egged interior '01 Mustang ~ keyed trunk right after replacing damaged front bumper

    67 mustang GT 390?

    What more do you want? Here's one I found on a quick search. Sold at the RM auctions. I doubt they would call it a GTA if it was fake. http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z11424/default.aspx http://www.mustangforums.com/timeline/1967%2Dford%2Dmustang/ Ultimate Mustang is one such...

    You think that's bad? I ran an '03 Cobra the same night. I was ahead of him for a good while. My 60ft was 2.248 to his 2.406 He ran a 9.02 @ 85 to my 9.4

    67 mustang GT 390?

    I have books documenting this. I have also seen authentic 1967 GT/GTA's with 4 wheel drum brakes. Also, why would they go backwards in technology and options?

    Paint scheme input

    I'd have to see it. The '03-04 Mach 1 can be had in black with flat black hood stripe, side stripes, and rear spoiler. I like the way it looks. I don't know about dual stripes in flat black all the way down the car.

    I already answered this in the duplicate thread he has.

    camaro ss wants to race!!!!!

    Oh yeah, a kill story.. I did beat one at the 1/8th mile track. '00 Trans Am 6spd, all free mods, catback exhaust. It was his first time there. His best was around a 9.6 @ 78 something. While my times went from 9.22-9.48. He needed some practice. That won't help you because he has the...

    camaro ss wants to race!!!!!

    Hope he can't launch it or the car can't put the power down. Take it to an 1/8th mile track. Drive like God. ... that's all I can think of.

    67 mustang GT??

    Even if it's not a GT, it's still a 1967 fastback Mustang with a 390 and a 4spd. I personally wouldn't care about the GT status.

    67 mustang GT??

    That was part of the GT equipment package, yes, but you could order a non-GT with foglights. All GT's should have a V8, foglights, side stripes, and dual exhaust, per the "package", but it was possible back then to order cars exactly the way you wanted them. Maybe a few people didn't want the...

    67 mustang GT??

    1968 was the first year for the GT to have standard front disc brakes. You could have ordered a '67 GT without the optional disc brakes. As scary as it sounds to have a 390 and drum brakes, it was possible.

    keep the emblems?

    On my '66 I had these removed on mine to help clean it up. Antenna (just listen to cd's in the car) FORD on hood Badges on fenders C scoop trim Rear bumper guards Hood molding at top of grille I put these back on because it just seemed too empty for me. Front bumper guards Rocker...

    2005/2006 big block

    I've seen at least 3 individual 94-98 Mustangs with 429's in them. So it does happen to newer ones. Haven't seen a 99+ with a big block yet. I've seen them at shows and cruise ins, it's not all about racing. It can be about standing out from the crowd at a show.

    New Grill

    +1 The grille change cleaned it up nicely though.

    can I get some pictures of a 65-66 R front w/o bumper?

    That Mustang is trying to look like a '65 GT350 R (notice the side stripe). Some of which had lights on the outermost edge of the grille. Almost all Mustangs before '69 had the option of a driving light package. So what you're trying to say is, the '69 is just copying every Mustang behind...

    Went to the track today

    http://www.eldemoniorojo.com/calculator.htm There you go.. says it would be about a 14.27. It doesn't take into account your mph or gear ratio, so you could've gone faster or slower. I've run a best 1/8th of 9.22 @ 78.50, but I've never run the 1/4 so yeah.... Calculator says I would get...
