Hello folks. Well for the last 2 years from when i got my license i've been wanting to get my hands on a 65 mustang. Needless to say I finally wrangled me a stang. She's got a 289 and I got it appears to be in fair condition to me. All my dad and I had to do to make it street legal so far was put in a new break light switch, and some other minor wiring things. I've got my inspection and registration up to date so I should be able to start driving it friday. It has a few small rust spots where the paint is peeling off. I'll try to get some pictures of those tomorrow. I'm really excited about this mustang of mine.

 

congrads on your new stang....I know hw excited you must be....but if its a four speed you diff gonna want to make sure your e brakesin good shape......

 

Welcome to the Forum. Now give me back my car....it looks just like the one I had when I was your age. Same Rangoon red paint job and all. Its good looking, straight car, you'll have a ton of fun with it. Just watch out that all the girls dont mob you.

 

Congrats i had to wait till i was 29 to get my first stang, you will have alot fun, mixed with so choice words mixed with pride while working and driving her.

 

congrats, take pics of your interior, you got the seats i want!

 

I got some pics of the interior and the rust spots i mentioned.

 

loks kinda like it was keyed and its only surface rust and the headlight door peobably wasnt sprayed with an acid etch primer before being painter so it didnt get a good tooth on that part but other than that looks pretty clean and welcome to the forums

 

Looks like some punk got pissed off and keyed that car. Be sure you sand down the areas and spray with self etching primer until you can afford a new paint job. You may even get by for awhile if you order some touch-up paint from Tower paint. It will be the exact match. Just give them the code off the VIN tag on the door, and they will send you a spray can of that color for something like 25 bux. http://www.towerpaint.com

 

Nice ride . I wish I started earlier. I was 47 when I got my first Mustang.

 

I was 51. School teachers don't make much ya' know.
