    Bought first classic last night!

    Hey, looks familiar - my father recently purchased a 72 Sprint fastback. It's a pretty solid and original car, needing a repaint and interior resto. Are you sure its a 351W? It should be a 351C (Cleveland) since Ford stopped using the Windsor motor in Mustangs in 1970. My father has tons of...

    vin question

    Look for "63C" on the data plate for the Trim code. It denotes, for 69 anyway, "Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof" That's probably why the seller of the ebay car denotes it as a "C" code.

    Ok guys, gimmie your best stories

    On my last 69 Cougar XR7 hardtop (now sold and being further restored) the car was put together in a california junkyard, using parts from both 1969 and 1970 cougars. We called it the "69/70" the car had a 1970 front clip, 69 body, 70 motor, 69 trans, blue 70 std door panels, green 69 seats, 69...

    dont know whether to keep or sell the original eninge

    I would keep the original engine and trans, too many cars out there have had theirs removed and lost over time. I'm assuming you're taking out a 289/C4, find a place to stash it, even if it is only to go along with the car to a future owner someday. I wouldn't think that engine combo would be...

    1967 and Older Shoulder Harness

    You do not wear the shoulder harness as a solo system. All that would need to be done is the addition of another lap belt over the existing one (at the same mounting point), exactly what Ford did in 1968. Then one female belt goes into the retractor and the other female belt goes into the...

    1967 and Older Shoulder Harness

    Hey everyone, I was going through the local junkyard, and found a pretty interesting set of seatbelts. They are the 1968 style shoulder harnesses, but have the 1967 and earlier style buckle attachment. They are the same length, design, style, etc as the 68's except for the buckle attachment...

    Power Brakes for my '69

    Power disk brake setups are regularly on ebay, and the ones that aren't cleaned up or rebuilt generally go pretty reasonably. Be sure to get one complete, and be sure to rebuild whatever you use.

    AHAHAHAHA.. you guys got to look at this..

    That is a 4 speed overdrive, not quite a toploader but more then a 3 spd. Basically, a 3 speed with an overdrive. We paid $50 for one on ebay a few months back, his looks pretty clean but the price is too high.

    Real 03 Cobra or No???

    Even thought it's not a real cobra, it still looks like a nice car. I wonder how much it will go for, and how bad it was wrecked. Put some Gt badges and rear bumper back on it and it would be even better.

    My new Carbon Fiber hood.

    Just wondering, in terms of resale value, why not keep your stock hood? It is very likely your original hood would be put back on your car when being sold. The $75 starting bid (which I doubt will get bid on) is likely not worth the loss in resale value. Besides, you would be able to sell the...

    Question on hood scoop?

    Kar Kraft stopped production of the kit a few years ago. They still appear on ebay, and on classified sections such as the one located on www.corral.net. Installation was very easy, and it is like factory. There is a 3 stage water entrapment system, necessary whenever there is an opening in the...

    Question on hood scoop?

    Here is a picture of the Kar Kraft ram air kit, as installed on my 00 Gt. The picture is a bid dark, but you get the idea. It was only about 4:30, I'm not sure why it came out so dark.

    Need some info thinking of buying a 98 or newer crown vic as a sleeper

    There was an awesome 1999 white Crown Vic, former police car for sale in Tampa on ebay last month. It had two subwoofers, a dvd player, and still looked like a police car from the outside. Spotlight, window tint, hubcaps, antenna, etc. It was very well done, not tacky or stupid at all. You could...
