hello from alabama
Hey, my name is Barrett, I recently started looking into restoring a car, and immediately decided on a classic mustang. The only problem is I don't know where to start. I'm hoping to spend around $6000 and get something that at least runs, and work on it from there. I have a little bit of engine experience, but no body experience and I'm hoping to learn a lot about bodywork. I'm currently looking for a standard v8 with hopes of eventually putting a 302 in it, but if I can't find that, how hard is a manual or a v8 swap in these engine bays?
Thanks in advance, Barrett |

Welcome :)

Welcome to the site. What years are you considering? I personally prefer 67-69. Any small block V8 should be a simple drop in on those.
|
well I'm torn between a 69 convertible, and a 69 fastback, I'd love to have a convertible, I've always wanted one, but I love how sporty the fastbacks look compared to a convertible
|
Yep. The 69 fastback is hard to beat. One of the best. 70 is not bad either. Don't really care for the verts those years. Shouldn't be hard to find a descent one.
|
do you know of any good places to look for one, like any specific websites?
|
eBay Craigslist local ads. There should be quite a few around your parts. Just did a quick eBay search and found this gem though. Not a stang but would love to have it. ebay://launch?itm=220925650857
