Going to Long Island tomorrow to buy this ...

o0o0 i am def liking that mach 1

I'm going to leave it a plain GT500 (no badges) but may convert the looks to the KR with badges. Haven't decided yet. Real Shelby owners might be mad at me for being a poser! :rofl:

BTW ... no Eleanor for me thank you. :D

Might go only one color but all the stock Shelby color combos look great to me.

I love this blue

This scheme is almost exactly what I'm considering. The silver is like a hyper silver. Check out the video. Love how the silver glows and even the grabber blue too.

Yeah that Eleanor paint schem IS nice. When I started looking for something I wanted to make a BOSS 302 clone from a 69-70 fastback.

However, trying to get ANY year classic mustang fastback (64-73) for reasonable money is very hard. Especially 67-68s.

Then I lucked out on this deal on the 68. I actually got it for less than 1/2 the price of the yellow Cobra above. ;) Or I should say ... I'm SUPPOSED to get it tomorrow for ... you know. :rofl:

Awesome, cant wait to see the transformation.

keep us updated!

Damn, all 3 of those are beautiful cars.... Looks like you have a new project/labor of love! And the 68 fastback will be a fun car to work on as long as you have the time to put towards it. What engine is in it now? 289?

When I successfully get to a certain point (driving this baby) then I'll consider dropping in what's really supposed to be in there - 428 CJ w/manual.

I wanted a driver, which this is - it runs and drives now. There were many REAL project cars out there but was dissasembled completely. This car is almost totally assembled.

Lots of little bolt-ons but nothing crazy. I wish I was a mechanic, body, and paint guy all together. Would save me more money!

Overall I THINK this is a fairly easy project. I'm going to concentrate the most money and time to the body. Clean up the interior real good. Get a real good paint job that lasts. This car doesn't have layers and layers of paint - all primed and just needs massaging.

I'm a Pontiac man so I have to research Mustangs and Shelbys. I'm not trying to build a show car but I do want to do a nice job. :thumbup:

Cool deal, I'm gonna try my hands at body and paint with my old E36 I'm getting back. I have very little experience but enough knowledge to feel comfortable with it. Besides, most of the dented panels are bolt on anyways.

Fair bit of body work there, I wouldn't call it an easy project. Take a look at the inner fender where the patch was welded in, and the other pictures. There isn't much that is straight there. Good luck with it.

Mine was a '66 coupe, 289. Rebuilt all the mechanicals, kept it stock except for a mild cam, bored over as little as I could. Did the engine and all ancillaries, automatic transmission, suspension, brakes, diff, and so on. Body was good enough to drive, but I never got it to show condition. Sold it before they started to really appreciate in value. My uncle had a very nice '69 Boss 351 with the shaker hood scoop and rear window slats. I have always liked Mustangs, the earlier the better. Personally, I would look for one that is truer to stock.

Edit: '69 Mach 1. It was a 351. Boss 351 was later. What was I thinking.
