    Here you go, Rudi

    I agree that a facebook link is not the appropriate way to post on this forum.
    The car is very nicely done. But, if it cannot be driven, why bother?

    Never seen a oil fill plug like this on a 9" rear end housing!?!?

    Is that something special?

    Sorry for inappropriately posting on the forum I apologize. I will try and remember to copy photos as well as information then post it to the forum. I do still have Dan Green Restorations  Business contact information for anyone interested in talking to Dan about the car or for any other reasons. Please pm me.  Depends on the pocket book I have No idea the price tag. But definitely worth every penny if you are seriously looking for a Beautiful 1967 Mustang convertible. One thing That I think really set the car apart is that it sprayed in single stage Paint instead of BC/CC. Truly a Beautiful 1967 Mustang.

    That  level of Mustang restorations are like belly buttons at MCA shows, most don’t have any fluids except oil. It would do very well in the concourse class as long as every nut, bolt, tag, decal and paint daub were correct as it came from the assembly line.
    The owners never even start them but  roll them on and off the trailers.
    I guess it’s all about what is important to the owner.
    . Some guys are happy just sit in the garage and look at their cars rather than get out on the open road with it.

    I always went by the old saying:
    Anybody can bolt original parts back together and restore a car. It takes real talent to cut one up.

    67 was the last year for that. I think the center chunks lacked a fill plug as well. I passed on a chance to buy one for my car when it was at the paint shop. He wanted $850 for the complete rear end with 3.25 gears and an open carrier. Seemed like a fair deal. 

    That is a beautiful car..... love the color!! We need cars like this to show others what they were like before we made "improvements" to them!!! 

    I can't imagine spending all that money to drive it 100 miles. I bet it still has bugs to be worked out. Best of luck to the seller.

    Thanks Bolted to Floor,

    I mean the big hex head screw that is on there not the actual oil fill hole location. All that i come to see had a 1/2" countersunk square bolt.

    Every convertible has that.  Unless its missing.   I spose a really smart feller could add those reinforcements to a coupe or fastback.   Actually surprised no one makes a modified convertible pan.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Also causes problems for exhaust routing.

    Stuff em full of Stainless steel scour pads and MAKE them the mufflers!   . Then the seller could also advertise heated seats.
