Got a classic Stang with a 429/460 motor?  Or interested in learning how to stuff Ford's 385 series Big Bock in a classic Stang?  Join us!  http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/429-460Stangs/

I am the second owner of this '67 Mustang which started life as a special order color car (1965 Poppy Red...Ford used the same color again in 1970 but called it Calypso Coral) with a 200 6 cyl, C4 trans and typical 6 cylinder drive train including manual steering and brakes with the smaller drum brakes on all four wheels.  A Big Block 460 was swapped for the 6 cyl and I installed new floor pans, trunk floor, hood, quarter panels, fenders, and due to an accident which totaled this car in 1986, all new frame metal from the firewall forward. After 14 years of work, on and off at times, the car was finished just in time for a local Mustang Club show where it took first place in the 65-73 Modified Mustang class.

This car is no trailer queen.  I drive this car to attend shows and club events.....and to scare the local "Chebby" boys on occasion!
