Topic: My old find

Hi everyone,

My name is Archie and I have assumed the caretaker duties, from 64.5 Steve, for this historic Mustang. He took good care of her for the last two years and I plan to make him proud!

Welcome to the site -

Did Steve give you all the photos and info from #140 that I sent him?? Did you just buy the car from Steve??

I did just buy the car from Steve, but he didn't say anything about information on #140. That would be great to see as it is just one number off. Could you please send that information?

Thanks,
Archie

Remember that being just one number off sequentially does not mean that they were built one after the other but it would surely be of some help in your research especially if it hasn't been restored or the pictures are prerestoration

+1, and also consider that any of the 05C cars may have been built for different purposes or testing.  Photo documentation is of the utmost importance when restoring a car like this.  I would be very careful in considering details from other cars to replicate on yours.

My advice is to go slow whatever path you decide to take.  Examine each part of the car and ask for advice on this site before proceeding with any work.  Many restoration shops are like a "bull in a china shop", just want to plow ahead and get the job done.  Many on this site know their stuff.  I've learned a ton from them.
