Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / December 2007Doncha Feel Sorry....
Was at the trans shop yesterday for my 65 FB and the mech said, hey come look at this. Over to the next building (part of the same place) we go. As we strp around the corner, what do my wanderig eyes behold??? A gold Shelby Mustang with black plates, and all the obvious points correct. This was no clone. 289 Cobra V8, Hurst 4 spd stick, tilt wheel (that moves sideways), honkig big exhaust tubes. And I swear, it looks like the upholstery has never been redone. The older guy who owns it blew the posi apart. It's a little rough in spots, but over all, a one owner daily driver. And as I stood there drooling, with tears in my eyes, I couldn't get a word out. Made my day to see a real one. Has it been sitting long? When did the guy blow the posi out? Any chance you could buy it?

I was in yesterday and they were already replacing the trakloc. Believe it or not... I actually like my 65 FB better. No accounting for taste I guess. It's likely because so much time and money has gone into getting mine to where it is today. :0) > >Has it been sitting long? When did the guy blow the posi out? Any > >chance you could buy it?

That's not easy because, assuming it was anything other than a '68 GT350, it would have a 9". I can understand liking your own restomod better than the Shelby. Other than the '65-'66, and the '67-'68 GT500 (which got an engine swap), the Shelby Mustangs didn't have many mods beyond the obvious cosmetic ones. 180 Out > Was at the trans shop yesterday for my 65 FB and the mech said, hey > come look at this.

Was that by any chance on Hartnell out past Victor? >> Was at the trans shop yesterday for my 65 FB and the mech said, hey >> come look at this.

As a matter of fact it was... California Care Care place. > As a matter of fact it was... California Care Care place. I thought so. My best friend's son works out there. I saw him tonight, forgot to ask him about it. Was it a tall red headed dude with long sideburns? >> As a matter of fact it was... California Care Care place. > >I thought so.

Just got what information the shop related. Or did you mean your friend's son is a tall red headed dude with long sideburns? :0) There are quite a few shops, as well as several under the same owner. Trans shop, glass shop, gear shop, etc. |
