I miss my Mustang.
She didn't like the heat though.
It's a crappy picture, but that was my '67.
Thanks, Rick. Cool picture. My first car was a '68 straight 6 Mustang that I bought from my aunt. It hated the summer too.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
My '67 came with a 289 that was run into the ground.
Sludge everywhere and just wasn't worth the effort to rebuild it.
Looked like the oil had never been changed and metal filings in the case
So out it went and in came a 302 bored 20 over.
Put a set of 280 HO heads from a 66 GT on it and was able to get a respectable 10:1 compression ratio without blowing any seals.
Not bad for a small block.
Added headers and dual 3" exhaust through a set of low profile Turbo II's and she could breathe... sounded pretty kick ass too.
I never got around to swapping out the stock C4 3 speed automatic.
Sucked not having an overdrive gear. I could go from 0-80 in less than 6 seconds, but then I ran out of gears. She topped out at a blistering 102 MPH!
Isin't it an 85-86? The front end doesn't match the year. They changed the front end in 85, and kept it for 86(then redesigned it all in 87)...of course unless if I'm n00b. :P
I am thinking of getting a 5.0 in the next few years(for a 2nd car, after I buy my first junker, out of school), but the 98/99 cobra's are tempting as well...mostly the fact they aren't as old as the 5.0's. The mod motors on the 96-98 GT's aren't too great, so I hear(heads and cams are shit)...so maybe a 94-95 gt could be good too.
^I guess I'm just rambing on.... :S
The body is a 84 and the rest is mix and matched! The rims are off of the ragtop. I took the cobra r's off this one and put them on the convertible. The block was from a 88 GT so the pistons can handle the boost from the blower.
That's a NICE Mustang. I gotta put away the toy too.
Sweet! I love turbo cars. I am thinking of selling the 84 in the spring to fund a turbo setup for the convertible. What boost psi are you putting out and what hp #'s?
