Newbie with a fastback

[frankie1968]

Hello everyone!

This is a real cool forum! Ive been reading for a while, but never posted. I was busy restoring my 65 fastback. I need to buy tires, and then its all done.
Ill post some pics of the fastback in hopes of being a worthy member.
There sure are a lot of beautiful cars here!!!

Wow...... those are some great pics!

The car is beautiful (love that color combo), and your pictures could be mistaken for professional class.

Welcome to the Board!

Cool pic's...I'm kinda partial to the 2+2's, your's looks super clean, wish my engine looked that good. Loving the console as well, haven't got mine put in yet. Welcome

Hey, thanks for the comments everyone! Its not a frame off "Barris Jackson" resto, but Ive went through most of it. The drive train and rolling chassis is close to untouched original as can get. The motor was rebuilt back in the 90's, using the original block, so all the numbers match.
My grandma bought it off the showroom floor in 65. It came with some odd dealership options. It has a 3D running horse hood emblem (not put back on it yet).
It came with a "whinny horn". Its an aux. horn button and horn. It has a horn with a relay in it that cuts in and out when pushed, so it 'sounds' like a horse whinny! haha!
And it had a strange taillight lens package. Looked kinda like a cougar.

Anyways, I have all the reciepts, all the tune-up and gas mileage records. Including every years registration and insurance. On top of that, I have pins, ribbons and awards from when she was in the Mustangs Unlimited here in Oregon.

Its been a real kick restoring the car. My grandma is 89 now and still full of life. Ill be taking her for a cruise once I get new tires! Shell most likely tell me to punch it!

Nice Ride

Welcome,

In 1997, my father bought his 66 k-code fastback at the swap meet in Portland and it's the same color as yours, but has Black interior. Have a blast in it.
We're in Spokane, WA.
