Hello All,

I have been lurking for a couple of weeks now to get a feel for the people and the forum. I am impressed. The people and the topics are great. (congrats to the moderators and the members )

Anyway I figured I would introduce myself and my project.

The car is an early '67 coupe, C code 289, Automatic. Only special feature of the car is the bench seat instead of buckets. I bought the car back in '82 for $500.00. Car got me through high school and part of college. Sold car back to my Dad in '88. He gave car to my younger brother and it got him through high school and part of college. Car sat for the last 13 years. . A month ago I brought it home and began the task of bringing it back to life. Plan for car initially is to make it safe and road worthy again and then we will see from there.

Pictures are of car freshly drug out of storage. (car was literally drug out. front brake pads had seized to drums )

looks pretty good, you could definitely do something nice with it....

too bad about the drums...[&:]

 

Nice looking project you got there. From one Oregonian to another, welcome to the forums!

 

been there done it and enjoyed every minute. good luck

 

Looks like a great car to start with...and it sounds like you know most of its history already!

You're gonna have tons of fun sweetening up that ride!

 

Welcome and good luck. I have a 67 as well with the super cool bench seat. We should start a club, the "Bench Seat Bombers." Anyway, you will find the folks here very helpful and supportive. My MO is the same as yours, get it safe and running top notch before mods.

 

Sounds like a plan. I don't know about you but I haven't ever seen another 'stang with a bench seat. I seem to remember reading in a mustang magazine back in 1983 or 84 that Ford only made 8,000 or so Mustangs in '67 with the bench seat. I would guess not many left around today.

 

Welcome Brad... looks like a great project. We're here to help.

Who did the fender flares?..you or your brother?

 

i have only seen 3 bench seat mustang in my life and im counting yours as one lol.it looks alot better then my 68 when i got it and you probably paid less for yours maybe free huh.id keep the bench seat rest is up to you, you can restore it back to factoy shape or restomod good luck hope to see more pictures of it.and welcome to the forum when you get the time look at the faq theres tons of great links and info in there.

 

No flares. I think it is just primer covering some rust. [&:]
