Project Progress....

[ITSSLOW]

I know it's a Mustang but it's my dad's car and our father/son project none the less. I'll give you a bit of background information first.

My grandfather bought it for my grandma back in 1972 off the showroom floor. In 1976, she got sick of the car and sold it to my dad. He drove it as a daily driver for 8 years until 1984 when my parents bought another car and had to use the Mustang's coil as a replacement for the new ride. It sat from 1984 until 2006 when my dad finally said it's time to tear into it. It's a triple white (white exterior, white interior, white top) 1973 Mustang with a 351 Clevland, automatic, and 58k orginal miles. Here are some pics......

Very nice! Old Mustangs are cool, I have a '66 that I am just starting a restore project on, but mine's not a vert . . . looks like a lot of fun!

It's pretty cool! I'm not a fan of 'verts but it's the last year of the big body Mustang before the Mustang II and it's been in the family for 34 years now!

No beef with the classic muscle cars, very sweet indeed! Keep us posted on the progress.

something i just pondered is why every time a car nut wants to restore something.. the first thing that comes to mind is.. "let me take it apart as far as i can, and then put it back together"

lol...
