Hello All,

I’m Miguel, and new here. I am looking forward to start on my new project, restoring my ‘66 289 A-code factory automatic Fastback. Going to take my time, learn as I go, and build her right, so wish me a lot of luck.

Really quick forum poll, if your uncle is offering to give you his ‘73 351 Cleveland Mack 1 which he is the original owner that needs full restoration also, should I accept it? I’m torn because I want it solely because it’s my uncle, but honestly not really a fan of that body style. What say you?

Thank you,

Welcome to
If you have the space take it. A 73 is not the popular body style but................ It is a MACH 1 so........ It is valuable and to add a family owned stang makes it more so.
If you can I say 'do it'.

Thanks brotha, I appreciate acknowledgment and advice. After reading your feedback I told my uncle that I accept, and he is already shipping her to me. So that settles it, I guess I’m picking a second job to cover all my restoration costs. Wish me luck ya’ll.

Thank you, I appreciate that. You’re right, I appreciate your words of wisdom. I can tell you’re wise beyond your years speaking the truth like that. Like you said, “It’s just money, space, and time,” so why am I sweating the small stuff right? Lol, thanks once again
