I figured this would be the best place to put a build/rebuild thread for my 67.
I posted up some pics back in august of my 1967 S code mustang. As I mentioned it, my dad bought it in ~1974 and shortly after had it repainted from dark moss green to the current blue. As I recall, my father paid about $200 in 74 for this paintjob, so I think after 40 years, he got his moneys worth. I dont know much about who my father got the car from or if he was the second owner or not. I was not born until 1976 and my father passed away nearly 20 years ago. I have tried to do a title search on the car, but NJ has denied my request. The car has a very deep sentimental value to me, so ill apologize in advance for mixing in some old stories.
Some info about the car via marti report

My dad and I moved to Park City Utah, rather than ship the car, my dad decided to drive it. This was mile 0 of the trip. Ask someday about how much fun it is to drive a big block mustang cross country in August with no AC
1990 in utah

After my father died in 1995, I had moved back to New Jersey. I was 18 and moved back in with my mom. She did not have any space for an extra car, so I was fortunate to find a friend who would let me keep it at his house. However, I did not have a great garage space for it. Best i could do at the time was a pop tent garage.
1999, finally pulled the original 390 and rebuilt it. Cleaned up the car, got it running. But that was all I could afford at the time.

from a distance in 2001, looks great, but dont get too close

Since then, I have kept it running....But I was also in college, working full time, doing many other things.
2 years ago the water pump finally died and I could not stand looking at the state of the engine compartment anymore. So I spent a month or so and took it from this mess.

It kinda got me thinking that it might be time to start the rest of this project and that it really needs to get done....more pics to come shortly...
