It's cool to see other guys restoring/working on old Mustangs here. Here soon, we're going to start restoring my Mom's 68 Coupe. It and it has the same stripes on the lower body above the rocker like the picture of the gold mustang earlier in this thread. It also says 289 GT in these stripes, and has 289 badges on the fenders. I thought 289s were done in 67? Anyway, this car was a V8 car for sure, with PS and A/C. We have all new black interior for it, new fuel tank, new rear leaf springs, rebuild kit for the front end, and a FI 302 and an AOD for it. The car was originally red, I have no idea what it'll end up. Keep up the great work on yours Jeff!

Well thanks man!! I appreciate it, Wish I had all the parts you had. You better make a build thread for me to follow too!! haha

They did start replacing 289 in late 67 but im not sure they ever got rid of the 289 completely. I might need to wiki that and check it out. You never know someone could of put a 289 in it and badged it. Well thats if your mom wasn't the original owner.

Funny/Disappointing story on this car. My parents purchased the car inside a home built enclosed triple axle bumper trailer. A guy my Dad worked with had had the car for over 15 years at this time. (This has been 15+ years ago) He used to be in Anchorage Alaska and he kept this car in the trailer the entire time he was up there. So basically this car sat inside a trailer for about 20 years. It was sold to my parents sight unseen as a 69 Boss 302. They got the car and trailer with all the other junk the guy didn't want for $1400. Low and behold when we got the trailer home, and opened it up, it wasn't a 69 Boss, but it still is a decent car. Not real rusty, not too beat up. It had a 351C with 4V heads which I traded to a friend for a bunch of go fast parts for the FI 302. I'll definitely start a build thread on it when we actually bring it in the shop. So far we've just been buying parts for it.
