Welcome to the site 95escortfan...

Sounds like quite a fleet!

I have a guy I work with that has a 64.5 Mustang Convertable HP 289 4bbl, Ralley Pack column gauges, Console, Competition Orange.. Very early production with a generator.. His Mom bought the first one off the lot backin 64 and drove it for a family vehicle, and it now lives in his barn.. I tried to 'talk him' out of it, but not only does he know it's rarity, and value, but has too much sentimental value to cut loose with it.. Shame its not being driven and/or restored... Gonna keep work'n on him though

 

Well hopefully you break him and he caves in and says yes keep bothering him about it and its pretty much garantee'd. I dont really know the rareity of my mustange but im going to guess its kind of rare considering its original paint was yellow but now black it also has the rally pack with pony interior i got a born n warner super t 10 manual trasmision with it with a hurst shifter and krager wheels. I guess the story behind this one is is the guy that had it before us was building it up with his son then his son drowned on a camping trip and because of his dramatic experience he stopped working on it. And ever since 1978 it was sitting in his garage molding away somhow i dont know how he lost the whole front end engine included and the title was lost to but i know its clear. I still got the original rims for it it came with a bunch of parts like the clutch transmission bottom bumper for the front and the headlight bezels hoodlatch grill and some other mis alanious parts. I really want to fix this one up to bring her to car shows and take it on cruises and just have fun. I cant wait till i get it running again but i think im getting a little ahaid of my self lol o well a guy can dream untill hes got the money.

 

Keep the dream alive. I can remember being 21 years old and binging my 74 Dart sport home and having my dad laugh at me. I bought it for $300 dollars with slant 6 and 89k miles on it. Car had sit for 4 years not running. Took over a battery and distrbutor wrench, reclocked distributor and drove it home. Car was southern car and pretty much rust free on frame and quarters. I replaced slant 6 with 340 4 barrel and had car modified to look like a highly desirable 340 Dodge Demon (71). Car ran 11.40 ets in the quarter mile, and my Dad finally paid me a compliment 10 years later about what a good chice I made getting this car. Even a basket case can be a nice custom with time and money. For pic of car look in the pics I have posted, click on camera underneath my profile at the left.
