I finally did it. I found a 69 mustang grande thursday, and bought it. I got it for $3200. Its got a 302 and a C6 tranny. Body looks good, minimal rust. Paint is decent. Brand new wheels and tires. Yellow body, black top, black and dark green interior.
It runs strong except the idle. I can't seem to fix it. I have to make it idle around 1300 for it to stay running in park and neutral. And when I put it in gear, it wants to die unless i give it a lil gas. If anyone knows how to fix that, tell me lol.
That shouldn't be a big problem for too long though. I found a brand new 302 one of my friend's buddies is sellin. Brand new heads, pistons, rods, rockers, ect... Everything but the intake all for $500. I can get an edelbrock through my work (O'Reilly) for about $180.
So hopefully in not too long, I'll be pulling the engine thats in it, completely cleaning the car up in the engine compartment, and probably re-wiring the car to my organization. Then droppin' it in
Also, the Trunk is the only place with rust... =, ( What can I replace it with? Should I cut it out and just get some sheet metal to weld in? Thanks guys! Thanks for listenin to me rant!
