got some new wheels for the 65

hotrodredneck · Nov 22, 2006

tell me what you think...i went with some 15's even though the car has the original wheels from the factory....only because I want to get disk barkes for the front at least....

they are going onto this car:

Funny, I'm actually looking to put the '65 covers on mine, only with spinners.

Those style wheels will look great and authentic on your car.

Well, I wouldn't try (or expect) to break any land speed records with her! That's 40+year old technology you've got there! Although I'm sure the autobahns are a far superior roadway to what we are used to here and provide lots of reaction time and car spacing.

hotrodredneck · Nov 22, 2006

yeah, i've been over here for 3 years now...wasn't looking to break any land speed records, but I had to say autobahn since i couldn't rightly say highway...lol

I'll bet you just can't wait to get it! I can't even imagine what it feels like to wait for a car you've had to order.

The closest thing was about five years ago my dad bought a plane over the web and phone from Quebec and hired a pilot to fly out to the west coast for us. We were waiting with anticipation to see if it was all the inspection and photos made it out to be for a couple months. Just couldn't wait to fly it!

Nice wheels, I have always liked that design. I would like them even more in an aluminum casting, I think they would look great.

we didnt order it...a buddy of ours in our club over here is selling her to us. But he is deployed right now. He gets back in 6 days. but yeah, it's hard not having my own stang in the garage...well ok, it's the wifes car, but mine too.

hotrodredneck · Dec 3, 2006

Well he gets back on monday...we should have her on tuesday...I hope....My wife is getting anxious to get her new car...lol

krash kendall · Dec 5, 2006

Wow, those aprons and towers sure are straight! You may want to try and find a three row rad, that one looks like a two row. Also, you appear to have a coolant leak. There is a dried up pool on your timing cover just below your fuel line bracket in front of the driver's side head.

Nice car. Very clean and original. Love the factory bench seat!

hotrodredneck · Dec 5, 2006

thanks, it was a Christmas gift FOR my wife....she is so happy to have it. I like the fact that it has power steering, but the manual brakes will take some getting used to. The only other issue with it is the ALT light, has a new red top and a brand new alt. need to do some research on it. We will post more pics after she gets cleaned up.

I believe your unit would be 628159 as it started at 100000 each year and not 000000
