I recently traded my 95 Corvette convertible for a 67 Mustang convertible. I had the Corvette for 17 years and loved it dearly. But it was well worn out and needed work and I just didn’t want to put time into something I wasn’t able to drive much. The wife just got a 2019 GT so I put the Corvette up for sale. But I was going to take trades. Finally I had someone offer me an interesting trade, an 06 GT in nice shape. But not what I was looking for. Half joking I told the guy I would consider a 65-66 Mustang convertible. He said what’s wrong with a 67?
Not much. ?
So now I own a project. Yes, it’s rusty and wasn’t repaired correctly and it’s a six but those things can all be fixed. A 289 is in its future but first fix the floors, frame, cowl and who knows what else.

I’d much rather have a car I knew was repaired by me than someone else. Then I know if it was done and how poorly it was done.
It’s currently stashed at my cousin’s nearby as I need to rearrange my garage. There’s 4 bikes in there and the wife’s car. It’s... snug.
So the plan is to get it on the rotisserie and address the underside. I’m going to learn to weld the hard way, I mean the easy way, with lots of practice! So welder and probably plasma cutter in my future.
