So, I'm the proud owner of a matching-numbers 1969 Mustang!

I'm getting prepared to start the restoration--but alas, I'm historically a GM guy and most of my work has been on Camaros and Chevelles.

Where does a Ford guy go for his parts? I'm used to places like Rick's First Generation, and Classic Industries for Camaro stuff. What about for Mustangs?

Thanks!!

We forgive your past indiscrertions!
California Mustangs and Laurel Mountain are a couple others.

Ah, didn't even think of NPD! I put the other two on my list.

There will be some interesting looks as people go by my garage. There's a '68 Camaro and now the '69 Stang sitting side by side. I think they have brawls when I turn the lights out at night!

How about some pictures...................
And I bet the Stang wins!

bdowne01

Ahah.. I bet it does too. It's bigger than the Camaro, for some reason I didn't see that until they were side by side. Probably because the Stang gets away with so much more from those aggressive lines.

The Mustang's not a whole lot to look at yet, we just picked her up this week from a guy's mother who had owned it since it was new (!!). Needs paint, and some interior work but for being a 37-year old survivor... it's in *great* condition. Zero rust, and completely intact body. On top of that, a matching numbers 351 Windsor, it even turns over on the first crank!

I'll back them both out a bit and snap some pictures when the sun comes up a bit.

Welcome from another Chevy owner who also recently bought a numbers matching 68 Mustang coupe. I'm not biased, I like many different classic cars. I've begun to find that you can still get quite a bit of stuff from the local auto parts store, unlike my truck where the only thing I can get locally is tires. From now on, I'm going to check with a regular parts store first. There's also a guy in my town who restores Mustangs and sells parts for less than most of the on-line parts places plus if he has the part in stock, I can have it that day. In additon to the other sites already mentioned, there's Virginia Mustangs. I've gotten parts from John's Mustangs before as well. I would rate the quality of the parts I got as average to below average. I've got some parts on order from Mustang's Plus; we'll see how that turns out.
