1967 Mustang

[BlackStang14]

Just bought a 1967 Mustang fastback C...
Car is coming just bare frame that has been acid dipped totally rust free...
Car has NO Engine, No doors, Absolutely no interior, no wheels, basically just a naked frame..

Me and my father a building this car from the ground up..
Right now the only thing we have for it is a custom built bullet proof 9'' rearend (built to hold Moser axels), two new front fenders, painless wiring harness, full coil overs, full rotors and disc brakes all around, a bunch of small parts and body parts...

There are alot of things up in the air about this car... I was thinking about doing a full eleanor tribute to give the new and old look at car shows with My car:

and what the 1967 should look like:

We are also not sure about what engine to put in... I am leaning towards a 428cj or a 427...

Any suggestions about what to do or Pointers on restoring...
This is going to be mine and my fathers first project car...

Nice good luck with your Father Son project. I think you should do the Eleanor look a like. I was at a car show and there was one just like the car from the movie and it was sick! Also if you can get the 427/428 that would make it that much better.

That's sick man, congrats on that!! Gonna be a hell of a lot of fun That's great to do a project like that w/ your dad. When does the frame arrive? Are you going to be doing everything in your garage @ home?

Yea I think it would be awesome to roll in to a car show with my pops him in one I in the other... I dont want to settle for anything less then a 427... I want it too look completely legit, from the exterior to the interior... We are actually planning on haveing the dash signed by Shelby Carrol and all...

For the most part we are going to do everthing in our garage... All the paint work is going to be done by my shop that has done all the painting for my car.. I know the owner very well and believe he will be doing the fender flares and all the complicated body work... This is just something we are not going to do halfassed.. You know...
The frame will arrive within 9 days... What is interesting is that the car actually was double stamped from the factory making it a little more rare... Like a 3 legged buffalo nickel in a way lol...

Sounds awesome man. '67-'68 Fastbacks have always been my favorite Mustang. I had a '68 for a long time, then I found that car seats don't fit real well. Good luck!

It's always nice to see another classic stang on the site. How about a different twist a little classic period correct muscle to park next to your late model at the shows? You know the best of both worlds.You better hurry up and get your dash signed by the man before he raises his prices again. He gets $250 to sign a car part these days.WOW.... I remember when he used to do it for free,I'm glad I got all of my posters/prints signed by him years ago. Welcome to the site and best of luck with your project.
