some bad pics of my 69 convertible

[simplyJ]

as you can see over the years it has become an expensive shelving unit:

hoping to get the project started around June. Planning on completely modernizing it.

But it's a 69 Rag!! Get it on the road! (or sell it to PAK!!!)

I still miss mine.

edit: I see deluxe door panels, a GT gas cap. and more. What is this car?

 

[simplyJ]

it's not a GT... I was turning it into a GT clone. The gas cap was a gift from an ex girlfriend.

More pics! I see a 5.0 in there!

We have a small but passionate group of 69 Vert Owners. To us, these are the best of the classics!

Yes another 69 guy welcome. One day I will own a vert, it's on my list of must have cars.

Got the car when I was in high school to work on w/ my dad... we got pretty far but didn't finish it before I graduated. I then left for college and ultimately law school so it has sat for the past 6 years untouched. I've moved on to other projects (97 Audi A4 show car and now a 2003 modded 350z), but I decided it is time to revisit the project. I'll be moving back home after I graduate to study for the bar exam and relax for a couple months before starting work, so I might as well work on the mustang. I've put the Z up for sale (moving to NYC so won't need it anyway) and am going to use that money to finally restore the mustang right. Thankfully the body and undercarriage is decent, but I'm still going to tear it down again and do a complete restomod.

It was originally a 250 6 cylinder car so purists have no fear... the rarest thing on that car is the gas cap.
