68 Mustang CS/GT (I wasn't able to stop myself)

Post by matstng »

I picked up another project on Sunday and thought I'd post a pic of it in it's current condition. The plan is to get the Green one on the road before starting on it. I hope I can hold off.

It's a numbers matching 289 2V/C4 and about 95% complete.

Anyone interested in a 67 Bronco project?

That's cool. My first car is a '68 Mustang with the same drive train that I painted Acapulco Blue back in high school. What a wonderful car that has been. I always wanted a GT/CS even though I knew they were not any faster than a stock Mustang. Do you have the book by Paul Newitt on the cars? I believe he also has a registry of these cars.

After almost seven years I finally got the 67 Bronco body installed and made room in the shop for the GT/CS. I'm working on cleaning up parts in preperation of reassembling but not "restoring" I'm making it a driver for now.

Oh yea, Have I talked about the 67 Bronco? I've owned it for several years but not done much with it for the past 7. Here's a pic I took after installing the body 06-16-12. (There's the 1967 Steve) :D

After helping my wife in the yard for a couple hours I was able to make some progress on the CS. I'm pleased with how well things are cleaning up. It's not a show winner but will be a great driver until I can do the resto right.

Was able to get the back assembled

Got a few other little things on and mated the trans to the motor so they're ready.
