    Bittersweet - Sold the 65 coupe

    Yeah, I did it. I sold it to my good friend Beau, who actually built the engine. Money has been much tighter since I got out of the AF and moved to Phoenix. I just need the money and can't afford such a crazy car. I do have a killer daily driver that I will post up (you guys won't like it...

    Starting a new life/job - Selling my 65 racecoupe

    My ad is in the Classic Ads section. I am going to enter the Sheriff's Academy if all goes well. It is a pain to find a temporary job here in Tempe, a big pain. I just moved here in April from Utah. I really can't wait to join the Sheriff's Dept. It will be very fun and challenging...

    I am under 25 and have no garage. COLLECTOR INSURANCE?

    I don't have insurance on the Stang anymore because I went with Geico and they won't cover my 65. One insurance company wants me to be 25, another wants me to have a Garage. Could I have my parents help me out even though I own the car and they live in Fl, I live in Phoenix? Who should...

    People in HOT areas of the US - Post a pic of fan/rad. combo

    I have to work my cooling system out. I have hardly driven my 65 since I moved from SLC Ut. to Phoenix. It is hot as hell down here and my cooling system is not up for daytime traffic. I have a Griffin Aluminum radiator (65 size) and a Spal electric fan. I have the fan on the bumper side...

    Dyno today. Pretty good news.

    Good and bad news, bad meaning I just need to spend a little more. We are pretty sure what is up with the car not making power like it is supposed to. I did gain a bunch of HP and Torque compared to last time. Now, I am at 340 HP and 325 tq at about 5300 to the wheels. I was at 289 /...

    Trading TKO for Built T5 - Good idea?

    The T5 I am looking at is from Gordon Levy in Phoenix. It is a built T5 that he puts in fast cars like his Mustangs and FFR Roadsters and Coupes, cars faster than mine, so I am not worried about the quality. Here is why.... 1. It will fit better. 2. It is lighter. 3. It will use up...

    FREAKING FINALLY - The car started today. ??? on volts and whatnot.

    Allright. My friend jumped the car with his 92 vert and it started up. :rlaugh: :rlaugh: Don't flame me because it wouldn't do this BEFORE the stuff was replaced. Something happened, I am thinking it was the coil, but I am not sure. :bang: I am going to have MSD look at my stuff...

    Car won't start (still). I can't deal with this. Make me an offer and it is yours.

    I am serious. $21,500 or best offer, you come get it or have it shipped. I have posted pics many times. You can fix the problem for about $500, but I have no more patience. About $34K invested. 3000 miles on a TOTAL restoration, I just can't get it to start for some reason. I want...

    Mustang and Fords subscribers.....

    Have you seen my car? It was supposed to be a 2 or 3 page article about it in one of the last couple issues. It is a 65 Trans-Am coupe. It is red with a bunch of vinyl graphics on it. I am overseas right now for the AF. I am just wondering if it made it to the magazine yet. Jeff Ford did...

    the racecoupe to be in Mustang and Fords Magazine

    I met Jeff Ford, the editor, and Micah, the freelancer at the Pony Trails in Utah a week ago. There were some very nice cars there. Quite a few GT 500s. It was pretty cool. Jeff and Micah are really cool people. They saw my car and asked if I didn't mind having a photo shoot. It was...

    Help Make Sense of my Dyno numbers (fuel problems)

    I recently took my car to the Dr Gas dyno in Sandy Utah. You really find out alot about your car when you dyno it. Anyways, my numbers were 289 hp and 289 ft lbs torque at 5100 rpm. After that, it drops off the face of the earth. 289/289 is really good at that rpm concidering my peak...

    Power Brakes vs. Manual which do you perfer

    That power brake thread got me thinking. How do you guys like power brakes? Do they feel good for performance and not just the street? I have a 4 wheel SSBC manual brake set up. I have the slotted rotors, etc. that fit 15 inch wheels or bigger. I don't have the Force 10 kit or...

    Historic - and other road racers - any 1/4 mile times

    I know that your cars are set up for the track racing. I was just wondering if you have any 1/4 mile runs. The Friday night drags are the only organized legal racing I can ever fit into my schedule. My 65 coupe is set up for road racing, and I am not going to change it. I am going to throw...

    Chin spoilers - do they work?

    I put on a chin spoiler on the front of my 65 coupe. It is a black plastic one from NPD and it fits perfect. I was wondering... 1. Do they really hold the car down during high speeds. 2. Should I take it off on Friday for the Drag Races, or will it make much difference? It does look...

    1/4 Mile times at Rocky Mtn. Raceway

    First time running the racecoupe down the 1/4 ever. I actually haven't raced in about 3 1/2 years. The altitude is at the track is 4700 feet. The altitude correction was 8400 feet or so (that is what the air "felt" like) The track was really slippery. If you didn't have slicks, you...
