History:
My Mustang was born Nov 24 1967 in the Metuchen N.J. Build plant.
It was LimeGold with a Parchment Interior. Some features were an AM
Radio, Power Steering, and Deluxe Wheel Covers. My Mustang resided
In the Rochester NY area. The car was last inspected in 1977, so we
Believed it lived a short and somewhat difficult life. The Mustang sat for
About 20 plus years, until it made it’s way to North East Pennsylvania.
Present:
I became the owner of this mustang on Christmas Day 2004. My
Husband and son had came across it, they put together a plan and
Brought it home to me!! After recovering from my shock I immediately
Took pictures. They gave me about a week to realize it was mine and
Come up with ideas. Then it was into the garage. We had the interior
Out in one evening. We uncovered some pretty big holes in the floor
And a really nasty bondo job on the front fender. We are still in the
Disassembly period. We are making lists of the replacement parts.
A lot of metal panels need to be replaced such as fenders, Quarters,
Doors and floors.
Future:
When my Mustang’s rebirth is complete it should come pretty close
To this vision:
Interior: White Seats, door panels, and lower dash.
Dark Blue carpet, blue trim and seat belts
Dash pad etc.
We plan on add Air Conditioning as well
Exterior: Blue Paint, White Accents, Chrome Bumpers
And trim. We plan to upgrade the Wheels to
16”.
Drive train: 289 will be upgraded with 9:1 Compression
4 Barrel 650cfm carb. Mild mid-range cam
with new lifters. Maybe a Super Charger if
budget will allow after all the sheet metal
work is complete..
