Dream question about dropping classic body on modern chasy
#23
I'm a newbie so the language you guys are speaking is flying right over my head in regards to the suspension and what not. Again I would not be looking to sell the 66' for greener pastures.. I'd just have it as a dream car, something to have for my everyday.

There are way too many variables to make a blanket statement like that. A GT or K-code (or both!) '66 coupe, for example, would be worth a good bit. A '66 I6 coupe would indeed be worth relatively little. Frankly, I think this would be a terrible project for an inexperienced builder to tackle.

That was my previous thought but after seeing the cost I am now talking about a 66' mustang 100% with the handling of a modern mustang. When I drive it on the freeway I just want it to handle and be smooth and ride the bumps nicely and sway and do all the things the modern mustangs can do.. Without the classic being a rough ride.. If I re did the suspension shocks and whatever else couldn't handle and perform as good if not better than the new mustangs at a fraction of the cost of dropping the shell of a classic on the body of a new mustang.. Hope that's clear enough

Yes you should do coilovers up front with a nice sway bar, maybe rack and pinion if you feel like, and do a 4 link rear suspension with coilovers. Look up totalcontrolproducts.com
