I know its a newjack question and in all reality thats exactly what I am. I've always wanted a mustang and finally got one yesterday. It's always been a project my dad and I wanted to do. Yesterday we purchased a 1966 Mustang with the 200 c.i. engine. Its in pretty good condition, it had one previous owner. He just didnt want the car anymore and had been looking to get rid of it.

Wheres the best place to start guys? I know thats not a whole lot of info but I know alot of you guys are probably real experienced when it comes to this stuff. I really would appreciate any info.

 

does it run?

 

Yeah, we need a lot more information. Has it been in storage for a long time, or has it been driven lately?

 

yeah, it runs. it started up fine yesterday. Was running for awhile. When we got it back home and off the trailer it started then died.

 

what kind of plans do you have for it?

 

My pops knows quite a bit about cars, much more then I do and he said the engine is good.

 

well, we dont want toput it back to original. We want to put some of our personality into it. We want to take our time with it and do it right.

 

it all depends on what you want to do. I would pull the engine first and and then start taking the car down to the frame. A mustang is an investment you need to see whats under everything before you really get started.

 

I figured that was right. Take it apart first and see what we have to work with. Anything that I should be expecting to see? any regular problems?

 

theres is no frame[8D] yeah but it depends on the condition is it rust free or eaten up
