First Gen Mustang thread

So I know there are people on here that love them as much as me and even a few that have to time and money to own one. So let's see it and tell us a little about it.

 

Anyone?

 

I have a '69 Mach 1 if that counts, think it falls into the 3rd gen category though. Anyway, here it is just for the heck of it. It has been parked for 15 years to explain the dust, but is an immaculate car. I inherited it when my Dad passed away and I am currently in the process of sticking a new engine in it.

 

Is that a gremlin I see in the background?

 

Yep, 1974, actually just sold that yesterday to a guy who's going to restore it back to original spec. I was going to drop a hot rod 350 Chevy in it and go drag race it, but never got around to it.

 

I got my Mach 1 running today! Dad would be proud, he bought this car in 1985 and held onto it all these years to pass on to me. I will cherish it until the day I die, words can't explain how special this car is to me. He'd be proud of my hard work.

 

New tacoma world update has me messed up. Just saw these replys. 69 would be first gen. Love the car by the way. Congrats on getting it running

june 2014 the day we brought her back to life

 

My fiancé had a beautiful, built 1965 2+2 that met an early demise and now is just a parts car.

That white one is absolutely gorgeous.

 

thank you its was a 4 year project

 

I may be drooling a tad looking at that car

 

I know. Her dad built it for her with a warm 289 and a C4. She picked the paint, which was something like a midnight blue base with a purple candy, it was seriously beautiful. Chrome American Racing 5 spokes that were the popular thing at that time.. Every inch was perfect.

She let someone else drive one night and they fell asleep at the wheel and put the passenger door into a tree, almost cut the car in half. She had her head stapled and walked away fine, thank God.

Miss the car though, both of us. It's still in her parents driveway on blocks.

 

I'll play! My father bought it in 81' from a guy who was bored with it lol

 

i drooled over it for like 3 months straight haha. i still find myself in a daze staring at the car sometimes lol

 

bring the beauty back to life

 

"Bored" as in he couldn't handle all that powa and muscle

 

love the mustang pics. Mustangs and tacomas. Life is good. Heres pics of mine. Bought it at a junk yard in 1983. Smashed up heading for the crusher. Restored it and then painted it again years later.

 

I've got this 1965 Mustang convertible.




For the most part, it is in good shape. However there is one thing I am changing. The previous owner did this.
