1969 Mustang 351-2v Mach 1

This car could be the twin sister to this other 1969 Mach 1 posted back in Feb. They literally could have rolled off the assembly line one after the other. They're both 351-2V cars, both Mach 1's, both built at the Metuchen, NJ Ford plant, both Silver Jade paint with gold Mach 1 side stripes.... and both sitting in a junk yard stripped out and totally neglected.

Three 1967-68 Mustang Fastbacks

How would you like to stumble upon this find? Not one, not two, but three classic Mustang fastbacks. Two are 1968's and one is a 1967. Having 3 shells to start with seems like a good deal at first, but as you study these neglected Muscle cars more the appeal starts to wear off. They all need the same things, so the strategy of combineing into one nice project doesn't work very well. They all need serious sheet metal work, especially Read the rest of this entry »

1963 Ford Galaxie

Submitted by the owner:

"Dad got the car from the original owner in the 90's and been sitting since. We pulled the engine out awhile back and have been soaking it. Found the rear intake gasket blown out and the clutch was down to the rivets. Pulled the pan and the engine is clean as new, hope to unstick it and roll on. Even after sitting all those years there is no rust inside the bores as best I can see." Read the rest of this entry »

1965 Ford Mustang Convertible

How sad is this Mustang? They don't get much more abused and neglected then what you see here. This '65 convertible is so pitiful looking it's almost funny. Almost. Here sits this iconic example of the Pony car era and it's been reduced to sharing this scummy backyard with old appliances, broken down lawn mowers, Read the rest of this entry »

1969 Mustang Mach 1

Original Mach 1's are getting harder to find, so this Silver Jade specimen really isn't too bad a project once you get past the rust. And there's a lot of that. The surface rust on this Mustang looks horrible, but a trip to the media blaster would probably clean that up pretty well. Read the rest of this entry »

1947 Ford Deluxe 2-Door Sedan

This is the kind of project you just love to come across hiding behind some old farm house or barn in the midwest. How much of this '47 Ford's 60 years do you think it's spent sitting in the weeds? Long enough to grow them through the interior. Read the rest of this entry »

This 1970 Boss 302 Mustang has a serious case of body rot. Check out the Fred Flinstone floor pans. But it's a factory original Boss 302 so someone WILL restore it. The serial number ends in a G, verifying it's Boss status. Read the rest of this entry »

1968 Ford Mustang Coupe - "Fire Sale"

Not only was this '68 coupe wrecked, but the engine caught fire too! It had a decently built up 320, but it's not worth much now except for the block and heads. Read the rest of this entry »

1969 Ford Torino 428 Cobra Jet + Ram Air

This is a true "R" code Cobra Jet Torino. And to sweeten the deal, the famous 428-4V was topped with factory RAM air and backed up by a 4 speed. All numbers match, engine block and carburetor. Engine wasn't running at the time of these photos, but it wasn't seized and turned over fine. Read the rest of this entry »
