Interesting car. I particularly noticed all of the paint marks on the various parts of the undercarriage. I bought mine new and can guarantee that it had no paint marks on the undercarriage whatsoever. (I had problems with rear end whine and had it back to the dealer half a dozen times before they determined that the rear end was slightly bent. They replaced the whole thing.)
I think that the restorers looked at every photo of paint marks they could find and duplicated them. Makes it look more authentic. It was overdone.
That reduces my interest - it is no longer as close to as-built. It might as well have a non-stock part in view.

BUTT- UGLY IMHO!
69 Sport Coupe was the best ever made as far as styling goes......

Yada, yada, yada..... I watched it long enough to see that the rubber fuel hose from the tank is routed extremely close to the muffler. Is that the normal routing??? Also, I agree, way too many paint marks on everything. Nice, but outta my league.

Your car had no markings on it at all? Thats so odd it should've definitely had stripes and blobs on the drive shaft. The rear end usually always had green dot by fill plug and sometimes other markings like gear ratio etc. The leafs usually were always striped in some color combo. Thats crazy it didnt have any markings wonder why the ford workers that worked on your car chose to be lazy.

Hi everybody,
I know a elder gentleman who owns a very very rare '57 Cadillac bla bla bla. The car is amazing, looks almost new and has tons of extra futures and don't even remember. In the last 30+ years the car is sitting in a glass enclosure and maybe rolled 1 mile ever since! For me it is the same as having a very high value house, ship, plane or such. You can't drive it.
My plane jane '67 Mustang has no value and threfore i did anything i could to make it a safe, drivable and most important, Fun to drive car! If i would come accross such a rare high value car, i would sell it to a museum so everybody can see her.
But nice car anyway!

If you have the big bucks for a car like this fine, buy it and put it away hiding somewhere. ME, I have bigger bucks and would put on AC and a Borgenson PS: and drive the piss out of it. Having fun and laughing as I drive by private collections. Just look at my present Old Emberglo GT that has been on the road (mostly) for the last 33 years. "Fun Fun Fun until Daddy Takes the T Bird away". Wait !! I digress,, "Mustang Sally".

I saw that fuel hose at the muffler as well.
They say…only original once. It is just way overdone with paint marks and poor workmanship with the fuel lines.
But have to acknowledge it is very rare.
I was not aware of that car’s existence. They kept it hidden real well. I’m with Ron and Don. Cut the quarters back out for some L60-15’s. Drive it to the bash and everywhere in-between. But, if you have never driven s Boss 302 on a daily basis, you would be in for some beatings in traffic! I drove one to work daily for a few years, about 30 miles each way. Some days, my left leg would be quivering when I got home.

I thought mine was a 1 of 1 also, so I took pics of all the stripes and stickers that were still on the car in 78. In the end know body was very interested in it so that's when I decided to resto-mod it. It may be 1of 1 but I've never checked. It was and still is more fun to drive than look at parked in the garage. It has been an interesting venture to resto-mod it for sure and very educational.

Thought this was interesting. I was watching a video of something completely different when they talk about the guy who restored the Mustang in this thread. He quickly mentions it right around the 6:08 minute mark
PS, as to the video I am not a vette guy, but any cool bit of history gets my interest
REMEMBER!!! When posting a question about your Mustang or other Ford on this forum, BE SURE to tell us what it is, what year, engine, etc so we have enough information to go on. |
