Now what do I do with it?

 

What are some details on the car??? More pictures. Looks like an awesome car.

 

VIN says San Jose, 289. It has the center console, automatic transmission, very minimal rust, frame & body are straight. I'll have to get back to you on the rest... once I build out the to do list. More photos when it's not raining.

 

Here are some more photos taken this morning. Tell me what you see.

 

let the customization & modification begin

 

That's a straight old car!
You mind telling is what you gave for it?

I would start with the interior....everything on the outside looks pretty great in the pics. Are numbers matching?

 

 

Probably more than I should have ;-)

I'm a noob. When did number matching become widespread? Plus I don't know where to look for numbers.

 

As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

 

numbers matching only matters on something rare ... you have one of a zillion cars .. make it something you want ...

 

This is my high-level plan:
1. Pass inspection & get tags - asap
2. Get it driving right - this season
3. Interior - next season
4. Exterior - season 3
5. Accessories - season 4

 

That sounds like a great plan!

 

To Do List #1 - Pass Inspection:

• Replace missing parking brake
• Replace rear brake drums
• Replace front brake shoes, resurface drums
• Replace 3 damaged brake hoses
• Replace upper ball joints
• Replace front wheel bearings
• Replace unevenly worn front tires
• Alignment
• Diagnose & fix non-functional horn
• Diagnose & fix dim headlight
• Replace bulbs in 1 turn signal & 1 reverse light
• Replace missing rear side markers & trim
• Replace bungee cord holding the battery down
• Service automatic transmission
• Replace improvised "fittings" between mufflers & tail pipes
• Replace windshield wiper blades
• Replace windshield washer fluid reservoir, get windshield washer working

I have my fingers crossed this will all be complete & I'll have tags on the car by Labor Day weekend.

 

i would have thought there`d been a TSB on those bungee cords a long time ago .

 

I'd like to own one of these in Red sometime in the future... Good Luck with it

 

look in the"Gallery " .. there should be dozens of red ones ..

 

ROFLMAO!

Y'all DID take a close look at my front left motor mount, didn't you?

 

i dint catch that .. but ive` seen it plenty enuff .. there no doubt was a TSB on that also many years ago ...

 

I'm looking at a black '67 coupe right now...hope I can have one of these threads going soon too!

 

I had my eyes on a chevelle for the longest time now, but something seems more right about buying a mustang now! Can't wait to see the project get going
