Welcome to Stangnet. That's a good looking car. Have a lot of rust? Keep on posting.

Nice .the only experience i have with wheels is in 15s but there is plenty on the forum that will be able to help. I would like to see more 69-70 s on the forum.

Very little rust, floor rotted because of leaking windshield and heater core. Its at body shop now getting blasted and a new floor. Then performance yellow paint.

They should fit, but I depends on the brakes - sometimes the 18" fit better - which is what I run on mine.
