There is a gentleman in another group that just finished restoring a 71 Boss in LL. It is the most beautiful Stang I think I have ever seen. I can repost the pics he posted of it if anyone is interested. I show wish the 2010 would have been based on the 70's Boss bodies. That would have so rocked. I also think it would be awesome if someone came out with a body kit for the S197's that made it look more like that era instead of all the body kits out now that make it look like a freaking ricer.

Ok, I'm going to ask a some what dumb question. I'm restoring a 65 coupe, and want to keep it as close to original as possible, but I do not like the rims or hubcaps that they say are supposed to be on it. I don't want to change out all the crap that will hold the wheels, so what size of rim and tire can I safely put on it with out making many changes? I am a girl so forgive me for not knowing all the names of stuff. I just know what I need and don't need. :D

I believe your originals are 14s. You could go up to 15" or 16" and stay looking pretty close to original size and won't have to worry about changing much in suspension to keep good tire clearance in the wheel well. But first off and more for safety reasons I would highly consider changing out your front drum brakes for disk then worry about choosing your rims. Less of a head ache in the long run.

Thanks, Sketch. I'm unsure and when I ask my bf, he treats me like i'm a girl. :lol: I'm no dumb @$$ just want a clear answer.

That's really awesome. I'm thinking of buying a beat up classic and fixing it up too, maybe an old caddy and adding a Cadillac Performance Chip (http://www.performancechipsdirect.com/Cadillac). Or maybe an old stang, if I can find a some cool Mustang grills (http://myhotmustang.com)...

Hey Moparboy76,
Welcome, glad our site caught you eye as a place to find some help. Looks like you and your friend have allot of hours ahead to get that 69 coupe back on the road. i suggest checking out this link http://www.1969stang.com/mustang/forum/
I use it quite frequently with finding answers to questions on my 69 restoration. My other suggestion is to spend the $200 dollars to buy the Ford Factory manuals for 69-70 Mustang. Best investment I ever made towards my restoration (aside from the car LOL ). Good luck and keep us posted with pics of the progress.

I'm currently working on a 68 California Special Project and a Pro Street 68 Coupe. Just located another 67 coupe that is the perfect Projcet car, hoping to get it this weekend.

Sounds like an awesome project car, I'd love to see some pics!!!

Heres a few shots of the Pro Street car

Very nice sir! Looks good! You should post a new thread in the news/intro section if you get a chance. Would like to know more about ya :)

[533stroker]

Well Looks like the deal on the 67 coupe is gonna go through. It has a running 289 / C4 combo, straight as an arrow and super solid frames / quarters, has all trim removed as they stripped the paint and put in primer last year. Has all AC intact, Power steering. This is a very original car with some of the best metal I've seen in years. Doors close good and tight, all glass good. I think we're gonna end up at $800 :))) Also has the turn signal hood. I haven't even had a chance to see if its a an A or C code, but for that price I'll take either.

[ArkansasMystic]

Sounds like a steal to me, good find!

[533stroker]

Well after two weeks of hit and miss with the owner that never answers his phone I finally brought the coupe home yesterday. Its finally in the dry. Gonna be a nice car with a little work. 289 runs and C4 works, needs paint - but again the car is very , very solid all the way around, all glass good and the doors open and close very well. Anybody got a set of Steel styled wheels for this? - I prefer the 68 / 69 steel styled wheels. thanks
