11861, Picked up a 64.5 Mustang.
Posted by CustomGS, Jul-05-06 07:28 AM
I didnt sell my eclipse yet, but i found something i've wanted for a long time. Got a ton of plans for it and i cant wait to get started. There is NO rust anywhere, it has a running 302(originally 289) and a 3 speed maual. And it is fun to cruise around! I just cant wait to get some paint, rims, exhaust etc.. Its going to be BAD ASS. And i thought i got a lot of looks in my 2G, this thing turns heads.
Oh and i also bought a 95 Camaro LT1. Fully loaded, black on black, leather, 81k miles. Runs perfect and NUKES the shit out of the tires! weeeeeeee
oh heres some pics..

That is one clean mustang. I like that body and wouldn't mind having one, but I prefer the 67-68 over the 64.5-66.
The 302 is a good motor, is it a roller motor, or flat tappet?

Yeah, i would have loved to get a 67 fastback but you know how that goes. $$$. To tell you the truth, I have a lot to learn about these cars, and any carb car for that fact. its a standard ford 302. The manual 3 speed cable clutch took some getting used to. lol
I got it for 5500 from a guy in maryland, drove 3hrs to pick it up. Nust rust in the cowl, shock towers, floor pans..etc.

Lol thanks man, I cant go to crazy with the camaro since it will be the daily driver once i get the eclipse out of here. But i did manage to avoid car payments in all this. (was going to buy the 350z)
