    I need Bloodhound help tracking a car

    :) :)See, thats what I saw, she also has the little diameter steering wheel, all mods from the late 70's- she's been ignored for a loooong time. The info I have received has her titled last in 1978, no current owner listed, not stolen and not wanted. She has no plates or stickers of any...

    I got the property owners, its an oil drilling company that leases it for all the guys who work there to live on while they are in town, I'll be calling or stopping by their shop first chance. I have a police officer who was good enough to run the VIN and found it hadn't been titled since 78...

    I need Bloodhound help tracking a car

    Well when I moved out to Wyoming it was for work. But I've also found a veritable goldmine of Mustangs. I have one in my sights, an original 71 Mach 1 sitting in a field, apparently abandoned. I got pics which my limited computer skills prevent me from posting(let me know how and I'll post em...

    New guy but also old needs 71 Mach help

    Hi everybody, I'm a refugee from the 5.0 world of Stangnet. I sold my last one when the economy stuck it to my family and moved from Indiana to Wyoming where there is work for people who want it. Accordingly, there are older cars with frighteningly little rust. Coming from just south of Chicago...

    Thanks guys, there's a lot of work out here I didn't even know about, and it seems to be a well kept secret from back east. No state income tax was a huge surprise, big raise on my first check. Picture me calling back home and asking why we have so much money in the account! Lol! Minorities...

    I haven't posted in several months, so if anyone cares, here's what could happen to you if your not watching. In July after 3 months of sitting at home because new Illinois legislation says minorities get to do the work I used to in road construction(legislation the big paving companies wrote to...

    Buying a 5.0 mustang. 351w? Have $3k. Few questions....

    Btw, 85 Canyon Red was more of a tomato red color, not cherry red(prolly Porsche Gaurds Red) like that, and the headlight buckets should be black- I think she been painted. That isn't a bad thing, just look it over.

    Buying a 5.0 mustang. 351w? Have $3k. Few questions....

    The quarter mile of that car (hell, any older car) completely rests on the guy driving it. Someone who knows how to drive could rip off a 12 I would think. And that is assuming that long list of parts match right and its tuned. Just throwing parts at a 5.0 ain't the answer, you need Yoda behind...

    Buying a 5.0 mustang. 351w? Have $3k. Few questions....

    First thing, buy what you like and build it how you want, none of the grown ups care what the cool kids have. You're on the right track with either a nice 85 or 86. Having done my 'fooling around' I can tell you you will ALWAYS find a guy who goes faster unless you are John Force. The heads on...
