Its something that runs in the veins of every red blooded man, Its the craving of his soul, its heaven to his senses. A miracle of machinery lovingly put together to fulfill his every desire. Its an expression of himself through a machine. Its his dream car.
Ford a while I was in love with the Mustang Fastback, I salivate when I look at an original Shelby GT350R. The Mach one, the BOSS, all incredible cars leaving their own footprints in the sands of automobile history.
The unsung Mustang, the base coupe. This is my car. Owning an incredible factory mustang is awesome, but building yours is even better. My car has never been anything but ordinary, mediocre, one of millions. Its life started in Jan 1968 in San Jose California. It was host to a 200 I6 backed with a C4. No extras, just a cheap pony car. In an attempt to make a better car someone installed a 289, The owner I bought the car from installed a 351. Its a mess, just a shell now, it was taken apart to be restored, but the owner ran our of time and money. In Jan of this year I purchased the shell with a clear title for $1,200.
My dream: I want to turn the remains of this average car and turn it into my dream car. Over the last couple of years I have fallen in love with the coupe. DAILY I gather information for this car, researching parts etc. for it. Jan 2011 I will get started in this project. I only get one shot at it. Im selling my car and gong back to driving an old truck, paying my house off, and forfieting buying anything until its done. I want a driver, a comfortable well handling powerful car. Its something I will have everything invested in for the next 4-5 years. I have to get it right. Bear with me as I attempt to build my dream car, a 12 sec 500+ hp daily driver classic 1968 Mustang coupe. Thanks for your help and support.
