1967 Mustang High Country Special Convertible

Well, you don't see one of these every day! Yes, yes... I know that's a bad cliche, but this is one of those rare instances where it's very true.

The High Country Special was one of the earliest factory limited edition Mustangs. Ford went pretty crazy in 1967 & 1968 with California Specials, Color of the Month Mustangs, Gold Nugget Specials, Lone Star Limited, Ski Country Specials and so on. Read the rest of this entry »

1968 Fastback - Minor Rust

Only one slight problem with this 1968 Mustang fastback... It seems to be RUSTED IN HALF! The owner says it spent it's life in Northern Michigan and that "this happens more than you would think." Yikes! Read the rest of this entry »

1968-mustang-fastbacks-3Three 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 combining into one nice project doesn't work very well. They all need serious sheet metal work, especially Read the rest of this entry »

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-mach-1-31969 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 »

70-boss-302-mustang1This 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 »

1969 Mach 1 – 351

1969-mustang-mach-1-011969 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.

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 »

Wander through the back woods of West Virginia long enough and you might stumble upon this junk yard in the trees. Looks like there are a few other Musclecars tucked in there too. Looks like a Cougar behind it and a Challenger or Charger maybe? Read the rest of this entry »

Here's another nice convertible wasting away in the woods waiting for someone to fix her up. 1971 was the first year of the really big Mustangs and many don't really see these cars as being on the same level as the early Mustangs. But if you like the body lines then the convertible is the one you want. Read the rest of this entry »
