Getting a new (old) Mustang
« on: July 23, 2014, 04:13:21 PM »
I am taking the plunge and getting a '67 Mustang that is probably the most unique one I have ever seen.  I have had lots of Shelbys over the years, but I now look forward to getting expert advice here on a Mustang I want to make "correct" as it can be.
I don't always downshift, but when I do it is near a Prius so they can hear me hurting the environment.

Howdee, okay, so tell us about the '67 and why it is unique? Pictures are a must. And details of the car.

Can't wait to get the full Marti report, it probably won't have to go far along the options list to be one of one.

Looks like a beautiful car, and definitely has some rare options.  Post some more pictures if you have them!   :D
Too much junk, too little time.

 :-* Love that interior shot! Pretty much exactly what my Coupe should look like (as a coupe) + add one Stereosonic 8-track player!

Looks nice . I see a few things under the hood that will have to be adjusted to make it as correct as it can be.

Thanks Bob, I will be looking for help on that too.  Give me your assessment if you will, I know about the brown shocks…. :)
