    Mustang Market Value....

    Agreed. To add to this, it really depends on what you are starting with. A 68 J-Code real GT FB is a great base, especially being a J-Code 4-speed. I am not sure keeping it 100% accurate to the Marti Report will add or detract from the value, especially sine the car is a low optioned model...

    help!!!CAN I PUT 1 429 IN A 67-68 STANG

    Ouch, please remove the cap lock next time you post. That being said, here is a pic of a 460 in a '68 coupe that I was interested in buying. It is tight, but as you see it will fit.

    Mike, the two places I would trust are . . . Peter Geisler Orlando Mustang Merv and Pat Rego classic creations home Both these places are well known in the Mustang Circles, especially the Rego's.

    Help with engine conversion in 1968 Coupe.

    Ford started stuffing the 428 into the 1967's, but it had to have the Shelby name. 351's can be stuffed into any of the early early Mustangs, just later years easier then early 1st Gen's.

    Trying to make sense out of this (new to me) car

    The left apron was probably bondoed over because they took it off another vehicle at some point and they wanted to cover up the vin. What about the right apron, is there a vin there?

    Wondering how many

    Find out if the seller has a Marti Report.If so have them show it to you. It will tell you how many were made that way. If they do not, you could always get one before or after a purchase. It is hard to say what the right price should be without seeing pics. 70 verts are relatively rare, but...

    Vin no. engine code doesn't match

    Then it would not have the consecutive numbers being the same. Most likely at some point a new vin plate was made for the door and was mis-stamped.

    Numbers matching ?

    On a 1966, there would be none. The best you can do is find the manufacture date of the various engine items. If they predate the vehicle build by a little bit, then it is possible, those parts came with the car from the factory.

    Help with Sikkens paint codes?

    The Ditzler/PPG code is 60449. They should be able to match it from there.

    1968 "W" Code production numbers

    bnickle is correct, Ford never made a W code Mustang. The 999 reports are junk. If you tell them that the engine vin in you 1967 says R code, it will come back as a 428, when in fact, there were no 67's produced for the market with a 428 in it other than a Shelby. Trust your Marti report. He...

    Would you rather have an 03/04 or an 00R?

    Even sexier than the '93 Calypso? Better not let the little lady hear that.

    should I buy it?

    There are so many little things that bother me about this car. The first thing I noticed was how they painted right over the fender bolts. Wish I could see the door jambs. This makes me wonder what oither shortcust were taken when they repainted the car. The sheen on the paint under hood, the...

    Roush Any Word on a 2010 Saleen?

    I'm with you. I just don't see how Saleen will survive in this climate. Unless they get a big influx of cash, Ford may nopt even supply them the cars to do the conversions. SMS is also debatable, unless they can sell cars direct to the public. Not many dealers will be buying them.
