69/70 Owners, you too Pak

[65fsbkhipo]

I may have stumbled into something, again. I found a guy, retired military, that has spent the last 20 years buying up 69/70 Mach's, Bosses, and Coupes. I am calling him again tomorrow to set up a meeting. Story goes, he lives alone and builds one car at a time to support his retirement income. What a great job. I'll let you know.

i wish i could do that. are you going to buy some cars or parts?

 

[65fsbkhipo]

Probably help him. Whether it be buying , selling, partnership, who knows. Depends on him I guess. At least I may have a source for the 69/70 crowd.

SPIFFY!
I'll take...
any 302 engine you happen upon with screw in freeze plugs
the rear suspension from a BOSS 302
the rocker trim from a 70 mach
and other assorted stuff.

I'll give'em exactly 'tree fitty' for everything

J/K

Sounds pretty sweet let us know what comes of it

Gee, I wonder who it is? When I was living in Brandon (a south Tampa suburb that has ballooned into suburban hell), I ran into a few guys that had huge stashes of parts and cars. There was one guy just north of Brandon Blvd on Kings (or was it Providence?) that had a huge collection of stuff he was trying to get rid of... I picked through it. I remember my 17 year old brain thinking "wow, if I only had the $500 the guy wants for everything...". I ended up buying some molding, but I remember seeing several complete tach dashes, a/c assemblies, wiring harnesses, fenders, hoods, trim, glass, body panels, 2 or 3 consoles, several sets of highback seats, door panels, etc, etc, etc. Now I think "wow, I was a dumbass 17 year old that should've gotten a job and bought the stuff."

Out of curiousity, where does the guy live??? Gosh, I hope it isn't my dad you're going to see...

If he has a correct 69 “S” code air cleaner, snorkel and chrome lid, Let me know………

I love your thread title BTW, lol. Why not just say Ladies and gentlemen, oh yeah and Pak, you too.

This sounds like a way cool opportunity for you. I myself am trying to work something out with a local guy, it's just one car but it's rare and he is asking like nothing for it. I do not have the time or place to restore it myself unless I sold my car for finance money, but I know I can turn it around for quite a bit more.

BTW, put me down for a Dixco style hood tach if you come accross one for a non-outrageous ebay price of course.

Nah, this guy is between Tampa and Ocala. What? do you think your dad is selling all your parts behind your back? lol

I hope you can work something out with him. Sounds like a great find.

There is an old guy near me in north central Ky. and he has eleven 69 and 70 mach 1s and fastbacks in a junkyard. He won't sell any cars or parts at all.Says he's going to start fixing them up for his grandkids. yeah right!
Also has some other mustangs, cougars and older cars.
One car I thought was kinda neat was a Henry J Coupe with a Sears and Roebuck tag in the door.

 

[65fsbkhipo]

Listen up! I am going to meet this guy in a couple days. He says he has 40 69-70 convertible, Mach and Boss fastbacks. They range from 302B to 429CJ. Give me a list of your needs pronto and I'll see what I can get on my first trip. I'll probably make the trip on Friday. Be as detailed as you can because I'll check off every item.

 

[Pakrat]

If the price is right I'd be interested in a center console in addition to the hood tach.

 

[65fsbkhipo]

Here's the scoop...seen them myself. This guy has 40+ Mach1's and many, many parts. They may not be inexpensive but, with the craze for the 69/70 and hard to find parts, I don't blame him..He has everything! Send a list of you're needs and I'll see what I can deal him for. Worth got an excellent hood the other day. Send your requests to George
