Well now that there is a forum I can post in with a vehicle I actually own, here goes. I bought this car for 2300$ off a lady who stole it from her husband in there divorce. Motor was toast, paint was completely original, and the color was somewhat rare, so I grabbed it. Interior needed 0 work, just refreshing, motor was yanked and rebuilt, under body was sanitized and painted, fuel safe cell was added for safety(Damn mustang tanks). All work was done by my Father and I on the weekends. I am going to see what I can do about getting some better pictures, as these are terrible.

wow fininished nicely, how many weekends did it take you to complete?

 

A guy I know is also doing a '66 Mustang Coupe. Nice project Markus.

 

Good Job on the car, I really like the classic 60's mustangs/

 

Very nice Markus!

 

Markus, that is sweet looking.

1966 Mustang= $2300
Rebuilding it with your dad= $ PRICELESS

Good job and ur little sister is a cutie. Is that you on the other side of the car?

1966 was a very good year BTW

 

Great looking car and looks real clean....

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. The car is definetely not anything exotic, but it helped me to gain experience to aid in the next build. Hoping to talk the pops into a Porsche restoration, so we will see. You will also notice a 54 F-100 in the garage, that is yet another project that needs to be completed. Its an addiction, once you finish one, you just want to do more.

dude, you have to restore that Ford P/U in the garage.

 

The truck is almost on hold till I have the money to do everything right. It was my grandpa's daily truck for years, back in the late 50's-70's, then he just used it to transport stuff. It sat on the side of his house for years and years, and finally one day I showed some interest in it. He says to me, "I'll let you buy it if you want, 300$ and its yours." He also made me sign a contract saying I would work on it, and it would be a project for me to restore and drive. I bought the truck for 300$, and for my birthday he gave it back to me, with a note that said, "put this money towards the truck." Around 3 years ago my grandpa passed away suddenly of Pancreatic Cancer, 1 month between diagnosis and him passing on. The truck is a physical reminder of him, and it will never EVER be sold, and it will be restored to 100% factory original, it is just going to take some time. There is actually one more, a 53 Effie that my grandpa restored himself, 1-2 steps away from finishing when he get sick. I will have to get some pictures of it, as it is absolutely beautiful. Ok, so I rambled on a bit there, but I thought sharing the story behind the truck would be somewhat interesting ha.
