1969 Ford Ranchero 390-cid

Here’s a nice factory big block Ranchero that someone started to disassemble and then lost interest for whatever reason. It actually looks pretty much unmolested and seems to have fairly straight body panels. Hard to tell for sure of course without a closer inspection, but the owner says it’s an Arizona car and so doesn’t have much rust. Of course we all know how that goes. Read the rest of this entry »

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 »

1947 Ford Deluxe 2-Door Sedan

UPDATE – MAY, 2010 – What a small world the internet has created. The very same ’47 Sedan in this article was sold and the new owner has started bringing it back to life. He was actually searching the internet for parts when he stumbled across this site and found photos of his car! (see comments below)

Well, he was good enough to send some progress photos of the work he’s done so far. Thanks and please keep us updated on your project! Read the rest of this entry »

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 combining 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 »

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 »

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.
