This is my 1965 Mustang Coupe.
This car was ordered from a cataloge in 1965 by my grandfather. It has been in my family since that time.
I got it about three years ago in this condition:
With some help from family I first got the old engine running (a 1973 302 engine that still ran.) That's about all the good I can say though.
After almost two years of tinkering and playing I broke down and replaced the engine and rebuilt the C4.
302 with ~350hp
Then I replaced/upgraded the front end with new disc brakes and all new suspension/sway bar components. Rebuilt the rear brakes/suspension.
Then I replaced the original heat and A/C
(long since removed) with an aftermarket system, installed some new under-dash gauges, and a shelby style hood,Fog lamps, Xenon head lamps, LED sequential turn signals front/rear. 66 style grill and corral and rewired the entire car with a "painless wiring system." Dropped the front end just over 1" by lowering the UCAs and shorter coil springs
My most recent project is a trip to paint/body where the car just returned from
after the color sanding it looked better
started assembly
