Bought a 67 convertible today. One that mochaman would be proud of

If I can ever get a picture without the sunlight shining through all the rust holes, I will post it here!

Moonglow makes the top look blue ..... never seen that colour top before.
Are the rear springs sticking outta the boot floor? If not ... it aint so bad.

Pretty sure they make replacement parts for that....

Oh Cool now you can build what I've always wanted, a 67 Shelby GT350 roadster clone. Yes there were no 67 roadsters,  Yellow w/white stripes, tan interior w/roll bar. 408 stroker. Butt you Steve can use that 427 in the 2+2, and then be able to replace it with an engine built by MS.
Oh well at least it shoulden't tun out to be painted RED!!

Hehheh. RPM we talked about that. Besides I don't think of your car as RED, IT'S Coral!!
I'll fight to the death to defend anothers right to paint their Mustang RED, just never ask me to approve of it.

Tubo, I have always wanted to build a 67 GT350 ghost car as well.  Just not sure this is the particular car to use.

I wondered how long you would go without owning a convertible...

Did I miss seeing a post about the new shop, lift choice, etc?

I thought rust holes were for extra ventilation. Congrats on another project.

Re: Bought a 67 convertible today. One that mochaman would be proud of

Please not another small block stroker...yawn.

Call up Barry Rabotnick and drop a 445 or 462 FE stroker into it.  Use 8 stack EFI to really peg the cool factor.  Back it up with a T56.

And yes, that is my eventual plan for my '67, but likely will have to wait until I retire in 20-25 years.  Now if I could call it a business expense...

​How about a stroked 460 -- Like a little over 500 cu in.  Or a 427 with a 429 crank.  Gives 454 - or is that a bad size:-)

Stroked 460s usually went to 514 as I recall.  The difficulty as I recall is that the 385 series engines don't fit without shocktower mods.  Definitely cooler than the vanilla stroker SBF though.
