Awesome! I never imagined myself owning a bright orange Mustang but it was the only one they had left in manual 5.0 so they cut me a good deal on it.. I ended up falling in love with the color, wouldn't change it for anything (except MAYBE Grabber Blue)@Street Renegade Excellent choice of color, rims, and exhaust. Good to know there's an exact match to mine out there! (well almost, mine are S-types from a '13 forced to fit my '15)
Nice car, it looks really convincing for a tribute car. At least they got the hips correct. The 69 boss 302 was the only 69 fastback that didn't have the scoops right behind the door high up on the quarter panel (the hips of the car). They either filled them in or started with a 70 shell. Check the vin and see if it's titled as a 69 or a 70. Unless you want to go for the complete look, there is no need to put in a real boss 302. The real boss 302's were a 4 bolt windsor block with 4 bbl cleveland heads. Modern windsor based heads flow better than the old 4v cleve heads ever did. You could easily build a 400+ hp windsor based small block that will run circles around a real one for far less than what a real one will cost you.
Actually ford racing has a 302 based 363 small block that puts out 500 hp on pump gas for under 10K if you shop around. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6007-Z2363FT

I didn't know the straight six fastbacks didn't have the hip ducts, I thought it was only the boss 302's that came w/o them.
Lol this thread's getting way off topic so I'll just say it here... I just ordered a set of 20"SVE series-2 staggered wheeks 8.5/10"... and some dope tires (255/35/20 ohtso up front and 275/35/20 nitto nt05's out back)... I'm so excitedI'm flipping out, can't tell anybody else about... Hoping my fiance doesnt kill me when she finds out, and I'm definitely gonna have to save up for a good honeymoon for her if I'm gonna spend all this $$$ on the car
