Hello

[TomcatPC]

Hello, I just registered for this forum. Currently located in North West Ohio. I currently have a 1967 Mustang coupe. My very first car was also a 1967 Mustang coupe that I got when I lived in So Cal. Ironically both were Lime Gold. I drove my first Mustang from San Diego to Ohio when I got out of the Service and that little Straight-six 200 did not miss a beat. My first Mustang got sold when I moved to Alaska. A couple years ago I finally got around to getting another '67 Mustang. This one will need a bit of work to get on the road, but think I have a good starting point.

Photo on left is my first '67 Mustang circa 1995, and the right is my current '67 Mustang from a couple years ago.
Thank you
Mark

Welcome, looks like a clean slate to work with.

Overall, it is not bad for a Midwest car, but nothing like the one I bought in Mira Mesa years ago.

Mira Mesa, i'm down in Pacific Beach!

I really miss PB! And So Cal in general!

My first care was a 66 in 78
Very nice, preserved example your 67 is
Another 200-6?

No, this current Mustang is a C-Code 289, with C-4/Cruise-O-Matic Transmission. I would take another Straight-Six 200 for a daily driver in a heartbeat someday. But grateful to have a 289 for now.

I'm new to this site, is there any stigma to replying and bringing up old topics? If I were to use the search and find something I had a question about and added a comment to an older topic thread, would that be a big deal? I know on a few other online forums people have done that and it seemed to upset some people, I can't see why?, bit it did. Just asking ahead of time.

Yes and No...

Look at the date of the thread that you're reading. If it's 20 years old, nobody in the thread has been in for 10 years, and your question is: "Hey, did you ever get this resolved?" then yeah... You're going to get one of these:

If however, the thread is 20 years old and [almost] get's you to what you need to know, then by all means... Bring that thread up and ask your question. You question though, should be about what is already contained within the thread and not a laundry list of things wrong with your car. Those things should be in [your] thread about [your] car.

But if you have questions about the information in an old thread, it is totally appropriate to bring that thread to the top and ask your questions.

Welcome to my nightmare.
Just have thick skin, and have fun.

Just by chance are you an Alice Cooper fan?
Had to ask!!
