Still looking! Thanks for help going to New Hampshire this week found old bone yard they said they have a few They could not tell me condition.

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Still looking have tried some of the people that i was given names and numbers but no luck so far

 

[Flying Dutchman]

STILL looking but now looking into 67 convert that I can build into 67 fastback I have most of the parts for rebuild

 

[tx65coupe]

Why would you do the fastback conversion on a convertible? Just use a coupe.

 

[Flying Dutchman]

That option is still out there, Just no cars, been looking for a long time figured with the extra inner rails be more rigid body. Know of any in northern mass or southern New hapshire.

 

[tx65coupe]

Thats true, but I wouldn't cut up a vert for a fastback swap. I'd rather have the vert, since there arent many of them around either.

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Well the search is still on I have been to 23 bone yards with no luck I saw a lot of half cars but nothing that could be saved. Was told of a yard in mass Tossi's mustang farm might give it a shot later this week.

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Well may have found one in mass about 2 hours away from me pics of the car are good for a project been sitting for six years. When my daughter comes home she is going to go crazy just want her home safe. wish me luck will post pics of the find once it's home now for trailer rental or flat bed

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Well here is the story this is a lot more than I could have thought it could be. Here is a car that has not seen the outside world since 1989 58k on the clock 289 4 bbl 4 speed with all the fixens inside

 

[Realmongo]

Looks like it is all there, I might have to drive out your way to have a look!

 

[tx65coupe]

Thats pretty cool. I think thats a great candidate for restoration.

 

[Flying Dutchman]
