I gave this Mustang to my wife upon her graduation from Purdue Unniversity. We both love classic old cars and 64-69 Mustangs are her particular favorite.

I bought it in southwestern Ohio and hid it for 3 weeks before surprising her with the car. We had a scavenger hunt for our easter egg baskets and at the end of her hunt, she found the Mustang, hidden in my parent's barn.

Here is the engine before my brother and I replaced the 2V carburetor with a 4bbl Holley. We also replaced the intake with an aluminum Edlebrock performer 289.

This is the engine after the rebuild:

Unfortunately the temperature gauge and the oil gauge were not attached. So shortly after replacing the above parts, the water pump wore out and we spun a main bearing. Many dollars and hours later we had a rebuilt engine with a different block bored .030 over, slightly bigger cam and a new water pump. I don't have pictures of the new engine but I'll try to put some up soon.

The front seats have been re-upholstered but the back seat is almost all original.

I'm not sure about the transmission but the shifter is a B&M, for which my parents bought my wife a brushed aluminum shifter nob.
