Two more projects
 

Me and the daughter bought two more mustangs. a 89 hatchback

So far we got all the interior out of the 89 and new carpet and seats are on the way, Mags and tires also.
Im so tired, we worked on those stupid cars all day.

My wife had a 65 mustang loved it. I thought the seats were a little uncomfortable but she's a smaller woman and it fit her quite well. My old school buddy had a 65 and 67 don't know if he has them anymore but they are now classics.

Happy Restore to you and your daughter.

I have a 67' and it's up in MO on my parents farm waiting for me to go up and bring it home someday.....

I cost $1,000. to have it transported, cheaper than going and getting yourself.
You want to sell it?

Barrett-Jackson, '67 427KR, $1.2 Mil.
'Course there was a guy by the name of Shelby standing behind it when the gavel finally fell.
My favorite Mustang memory was a Trans-Am race at Mid-Ohio when #15 Boss Mustang blocked #16 for the final laps. I was working the race on corner 15 that day and wanted to THROW the blue flag at the driver of #15, Parnelli Jones. #16 was driven by George Fulmer who could out drive Jones any day of the week but Jones was the "Lead Driver" of the Ford team and it was decided by the team that a One/Two finish by the team was desired but Jones was getting $bucks just to be there and therefore deserved to win. Fulmers front clip was badly damaged due to excessive nerfing at the checker and he was let go of by the team at the end of the day. The guys that I was working with in Lake Erie Race Communications just couldn't wait for Jones to go off on their corner and have to wait on a corner worker to allow him to get a green flag and get back in the race.

In any form of BIG entertainment the 'Fair' card is thrown out the window. The owners of NASCAR want There Chevys to be winners so they bend the rules, The owners of NHRA want there Chevys to win so they bend the rules, The owners of the team your talking about want the Famous driver to win so they bend the rules, Its mostly our fault, We want The "Parnelli Jones" to win. thats why we bought a ticket. When John Force gets beat the parking lot starts to empty at a NHRA event, Its in NHRAs best interest to have Force win.
Fair isn't part of any of there vocabulary, You have to get way down on the ladder in the entertainment business to have fair.
Like dirt track or 1/4 migets. Its about $ thats it.

Peter is selling his 65 Mustang.

It runs. We put a rebuilt engine in 2001 in St. Louis.

When Peter got to San Diego, he had the transmission rebuilt & put a 600 cfm carb on.

When Darrel drove here, to Vegas, he put a new radiator in.

He hasn't had time or money to work on it and hardly drove it, so decided to give up and sell.

289, automatic, Black (no damage on the outside) w/ red pony interior (needs new), rusty (holes in trunk & interior floor)

Forgot one important thing, 'How much'
Ron

Peter said best offer.

A local here talked to me about it last weekend and he was talking about 4,000 but I don't know if he was just talking or not?

Peter paid 3,600.

:r:

In '65 there were two different 289's put in the Mustang. One was a factory claimed 210 horse and the other was a dyno' proven 271 horse. Easiest way to spot the difference was to look under the hood and see if it has a two or four barrel carb. On the outside does your 'Stang have back-up lights. If it does it's a 65 but if it doesn't then it's a 64 1/2. Rust in the trunk and the floor board can be a problem but the normal place that you'ld find that rust is right above the frame rails and it should be repaired ASAP to avoid exhaust gas poisoning. Four Grand offer? Jump at it unless it's a 271 horse, '65 with matching numbers.

My son-in-law has a 1966.
He bought garage elevator from California, put it together and in the winter keeps Mustang up so another car parks under it.

I had the priviledge of working on the 289 assembly line in '65 before being laid off and enlisting and as I remember it there were only two different Mustang 289's unless you considered the California engine a seperate entity all together. There was the two barrel and then the four barrel version. The 210 and 271 horse was what the dyno room reported after hot test. If dyno wanted even more they could always go to the block, cylinder head, crankshaft and camshaft lines to get perfectly matched, oversized boars on the engine block, regrind the valve seats on the heads, high lift, long duration camshafts, and grooved crankshafts. They could oversize the jets in the carburator and throw oversized cores in the castings of the intake manifold. If you wanted a "trick" engine anytime you made sure that dyno had a hand in its assembly, balance and hot test.
Once upon a time I had a 410 horse, 5.0 litre under the hood of a Cougar which was "factory showroom stock."

I guess Ford is wrong then, They say there was a 225 hp version (of which I used to own one) and the 2 bbl version was 200 hp.(my parents owned one of these,)
Shelby's version was 306 hp

If you want to open one blocked window, just hold down the ctrl key when you click.

It does not change your settings and you can do it as often as you want.
