It’s weird seeing a car that you built or owned pop up for sale and knowing the history compared to what the listing states. We restored this car in 2020 in a single stall garage from a rusty rolling shell, a second hand 390 I got on Craigslist, a top loader from I believe a 71 Torino, it’s not a factory shaker hood, I built it almost 100% out of new parts (including the interior, nothing is original on this thing). Paint work is suspect (I’m an amateur). Funny to see very original/well preserved throughout the years 😅. Was fun though - hopefully someone knows their stuff…

Redoing this 1070. Original 302 3 speed but the owner before me put a 351W and Hurst speed shifter in it. Original that 70’s brown. Making an everyday driver out of it to Include EFI. Looking for suggestions on finishing it off. Color, interior etc. let me know what would you do?

Since I’m almost done with bleeding my new disc brakes for my Mustang, I was kind of curious as to what rims I should run on my Mustang. At first, I really wanted to run ESR CS15’s, but then I realized after doing some online research that the +35 offset maybe might not fit without rubbing in the front, especially when turning, and since I’ve got an all around 1” lowering kit, it definitely wouldn’t help my case lest the rear quarter panels decide to scratch the rear tires as soon as I hit a bump or pothole. And sadly, google doesn’t really have many pictures of Mustangs running around with anything but mostly stock wheels, save for the occasional Cobra style wheel or SEMA worthy wheels which are definitely way out of my budget.

Ideally I wanna have something unique, like 18’s or 19’s, and definitely something that’s WAY DIFFERENT from your typical Cragars, Minilites, steelies, or mags. I really like multi-spoke style, or something like a multi-piece wheel. Bonus points for a staggered setup. What are some wheels y’all have thrown onto your Mustangs, and do y’all have pictures of them? Suggestions and recommendations would be really helpful, thanks.

Hey everybody, I recently purchased this beauty and noticed a problem, I’ve never had before… The car has a constant gas smell when off, idle or being driven. I’ve noticed every time I drive her, my eyes burn for a couple days afterwords as well. What could be happening here? Also she’s hard to turn over, usually 3-4 times when not being driven for a couple days, and I feel like she is using excessive gas. I know 1965 mustangs aren’t know for their fuel efficiency but burning a half a tank in 30 miles seem a bit much. Any tips, information or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Out for a cruise and found this fastback. super clean.

The Goodyear Blimp was in Detroit for the Woodward Dream Cruise this past weekend. They parked it at the small county airport just a few minutes from my house so I had to get some pics - here’s some of my favorites. Follow @the_nightmist_blues on instagram for more!

Hi everyone I just joined, I’ve been cleaning out my grandfather’s storage unit and found some cobra parts. I don’t know much and everything I see online don’t match the exactly to what I have. I’m looking to sell them so any info would be greatly appreciated

Hello was wondering if anyone can help me with my problem ! I have a 1967 ford mustang i’m a newbie when it comes to cars learning as I go. The car is amazing but i’m running into a few problems! One the car has a rough idle, I start the car and it idles for a few seconds but rough constantly wanting to die. I’m assuming it’s a fuel issue with the carb since I have not touch the timing on this car at all. Although I know timing can play a part. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue?. As far as I know the car is a stock 2bbl 289 with a autolite carb. Should I consider doing a full tune up new plugs, spark plugs, rebuild carb, adjust timing? Or could it be something completely different?

Any suggestions on how to improve the turning radius of a '69 coupe?

I’ve been building a 66 coupe for my daughter for what seems like forever. It’s slow going and earlier this year I gave up and snagged a 65, running and driving that’s far from perfect, but good enough for her to accumulate some miles. She’s been doing just that, which is delightful.

The trans for her 66 (T5 from a fox body) is finally about ready to mount, then I can stab this driveline and be all set for new wiring harness. Good times.

My and my Mustang fastback,….. my sister was learning photography wanted to take my picture …… she had a little more to learn I think
