I took on this project and have very quickly realized Im in over my head.
1965 Mustang C Code Coupe Project.
Cars story as I was told. Car was purchased by the original owner in 1965. was driven 94000 miles and parked in a garage sometime in the late 70's. Owner passed away and car sat until the parents of owner past away and car was sold to a auto wreckers yard in jersey in may of this year. I bought the car in june.
car needs body work and rust removal. doors and floors are shot. I have brand new full floor pans that come with the car with brand new seat risers. everything else on the car I believe can be saved with patching and body work. bottoms of both fenders and quarters will need work. wheel wells look mostly solid and can be used. have the seats ( front buckets and full back that need new foam and upholstery ) gas tank is in good shape and could possibly be used if you clean out the 40 year old gas that's in it. don't have a grill or front bumper. front and back windshields need to be replaced. there is etching from a tarp I think on both I cant get out. Original radio is there. Im sure Im forgetting something so please ask all the questions you need. I will answer as fast as possible.
The drivetrain is 100% original 289 2v 3 speed trans. all #s match. the trans is in working usable condition. the motor has been torn down to the block. started to hone out one cylinder cause I was going to put bigger pistons in it. I didn't go far just took the rust and lip out of one cylinder so you shouldn't have a problem going back to stock pistons. OR since its already apart do what I was going to do and build a nice motor. I broke the distributer on tear down. Carb needs rebuild and there's a stuck valve in one head. also the cam looked warn. every nut and bolt is in boxes.
I have a NJ title ( as seen in pics ) sadly I have already signed it. regardless I do have the title.
I would highly recommend coming to look at the car if you want to bid on it or at least ask all the questions you may have. Im being strait up about everything the car does need a LOT of work, nd Im sure Im forgetting things. I thought about parting it out but its getting harder and harder to find a total #'s matching project car anymore so someone should restore it right. Pickup only !!! if you live in a reasonable pre discussed distance I have a buddy with a truck and trailer that I could get to drop the car off for a small fee.
