I will be getting my Cobra II tomorrow, the body is in pretty good shape and some restoration work has been done
It is currently sitting in a pile of snow though and to cold to start...
i will be getting towed to my shop tomorrow any tips on what to look for?
i imagine it needs some work based on price ($1500)

Anything is helpful, im only 17 and this will be first experiance with a classic car

I knew for rust although it is not bad here as we do not use salt on the roads
i live in very northern canada with only four months of mustang driving weather a year, if that
engine wise?
and where would i be able to get oil filters?

at any parts house like auto zone, napa etc if you have them up there

btw, the store will tell you to use a 1/2 quart filter but thats bullcrap - a regular 1 quart filter fits just fine, the same filter used on virtually every 289/302/351 for 30 years.

going with the larger filter will bring your oil capacity to an even 5 quarts.

The Framoil filter should be a PH8A. Welcome!!!
