·I'm seriously thinking about buying a '65 or '66 Mustang coupe this spring or summer and would like some input. What I would like to do is find a running car with a 289/302 and drop in a 5 speed and some low gears in the rear (~3.55 or3.73). I',m on a somewhat limited budget so engine mod's will probably be limited to headers, intake, cam, etc, nothing outrageous (yet). Can someone running a similar setup let me know how this would perform? I'd like to run decent e.t.'s in the 1/4 mile but the car will be mostly street driven. I'm curious as to how much these cars weigh, from what i've seen the factory listed it around 2400-2500 lbs, but most real world examples i've heard are more in the 2600-2800 range. Also what are the more common places to find hidden rust on these cars, I don't want to buy anything before checking it out thoroughly for rust. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
P.S. I am really impressed with this forum, and have already found a lot of useful information reading through old threads.
