Very cool.
But if you get it fix the tranny cooling lines before leak.

oldtrucks · Post by **oldtrucks** » December 1, 2009, 5:36 pm

That is a cool car but be very careful with it, it is not a full restoration. I do full restorations and this doesn't come close to my standards. Please make sure it is fully documented and has restoration pictures. If you can talk to the shop that did the resto. I hate to say it but vin tags can easily be removed and transfered. some of the inner body panels have numbers stamped on them that should match the vin tag.
Again do your homework on this car and if it is as advertised great if not you will avoid being stung.
I think the price is a bit high considering what I saw. I would want to see the underside of this cay. If it's a full resto it should look as good as the outside.

Pretty rare car if it's not a fake. Looks very nice but I see some "textures" showing through the paint in the door jambs that concern me. May be OK I'd just want to check them REAL close.
Are you tired of Miss Daisy Mike? Didn't you just put a new tranny in her?
I can fully understang wanting another Mustang - just not sure I'd hand over the keys to my Slick to get one and mine is a real POS compared to yours.

Mike.
Go from something you don't see at every stop light to something everybody has.
I guess you and Bronco Tom can go cruise with all the other thousands of Mustang owners at Hooter's, Home Depot, ad nausium.
It's red, it's a freaking automatic, and its probably not what its advertised to be.
I do professional restorations and that is NOT a professional resto.
If you're going to buy a car like this, it needs to be Wimbleton White with Daytona Blue stripes.
And it has to have a 4-speed.
Duh.
I am NOT a happy camper with this one, but do what you have to do......

i not impressed with the stang at that price.
miss daisy is one of the most beautiful trucks i have seen.if she was mine i would not give her up for that.

Max · Post by **Max** » December 1, 2009, 10:29 pm

Sorry Bud, I feel the same. Sell the Saleen and get this but keep Miss Daisy. You've done too much work to give her up. Especially for this.

It looks nice..but not as nice as Daisy.

I wonder if he has the correct carb for it ??

I think he maybe pulling our stirrups!, I hope so!

judging by the piks your truck looks better than the stang.

thrush544 · Post by **thrush544** » December 2, 2009, 8:14 am

The stang is nice but Miss Daisy is priceless!!!

Whatever makes you happy but I have to agree with the others. I believe you'll miss Miss Daisy terribly if she goes and the stang will be just another stang!

Whew ... just noticed your correction ...... CONGRATS

Well Mike if you were Boyd Coddington, you'd take that K code hipo. and get the boys in your back shop to run it without oil until it siezed!
Then you'd laugh like hell about it. I don't think a single thing I have seen on television made me as mad as that episode of American hotrod. I was literally jumping around the living room yelling "I'll kill him!! I'll kill him!!"

fortunately, Boyd died before I could kill him. If I ever find his grave, I WILL be relieving my bladder on it.

taking Daisy to
LEGACY OF WSM SHOW AND SHINE CAR SHOW BENEFITTING MARINE TOYS FOR TOTS! 12-5-09
this week end to win her another award so to help remind me I should never ever have another Brain Fart.
Even Join the Local Mustang club just to tell them I was bringing my 66 instead of the Saleen
Love giving you guys something to warm the blood by!
Yes Johnny, I also saw that episode and cried, I also bought a Thompson sub machine gun to take out the special effects crew of Gone in 60 Seconds!

Wouldn't a full restoration include matching tires?

Thunderboy · Post by **Thunderboy** » December 2, 2009, 2:22 pm

I did the Mustang thing as a younger man, but I so much enjoy having something different. Slicks and my Falcon make me a lot happier. You can change them around all you want without fear of ruining your restoration "investment."

Glad you are keeping your beautiful Slick.

Ford blue blood · Post by **Ford blue blood** » December 8, 2009, 2:48 pm

There is no way that is a full restoration! That's really a low #3 condition car! No detail work at all! Nice paint on the outside now but what will it look like in two years.......
