And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
'68, seems workable. Looks like it may have been ill-tampered with in the past and the mill is prolly blown. Otherwise, why is it sitting there like that?
A fastback is worth it. With Mustangs Unlimited gone YearOne would be the place to get new sheet meatal and floor pans. A 302 that has been bored and stroked to 347ci can reliably put out 450hp on pump gas would be a good candidate.
Skinny front tires and fat rear ones suggest this was a drag racer so the interior has probably been removed. Add the cost of a replacement engine, and possibly a tranny, it's sitting way too high in front because the engine is removed. I believe that every part for a 1968 Mustang is being reproduced for restorers. '68 fastbacks start at $75,000 so it depends on how much time and skill you have as to whether it's economical to restore it yourself.
Not too far gone. Parts are available through National Parts Depot or various other legitimate corporations. Quick glance: doesn’t look like it has been wrecked; important to know.
No. Expensive, yes, but not too far gone.
ReplyDeleteMartin Bros Customs would resurrect that iron (great show on Motor-trend)

ReplyDeleteIs that a Hertz Mustang? If it is, that is a goldmine.
ReplyDeleteNope, but it may take over a year to bring it to concours, I would do that for nothing just for the enjoyment.

ReplyDeleteThe engine might be rebuildable (ours was) and you can still get engines - it won’t be “numbers matching” but at this point, who cares?

It's a Mustang. It was too far gone when it was sitting in the showroom.
ReplyDeleteThat's a real Shelby by the clues. Gas cap, stripes. If real, It's really
ReplyDeletelooks like it's well worth restoration!
