AFTER READING 6MUSTANG6'S POST, I DECIDED TO START A NEW ONE. SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MISFORTUNE 6MUSTANG6. YOU'LL LEARN AS WE ALL DO WHEN WE AGE. THE PIC ATTACHED WAS A CHERRY 100% ALL STOCK AND ORIGINAL 67 I OWNED IN 87. ME AND A GOOD FRIEND WENT TO LAKE HAVISUE(SPELLING) ON JULY 4TH 1987. AFTER HANGING OUT AT CRAZY HORSE CAMP GROUND, WE GOT HUNGRY. MY FRIEND KENNY WANTED MC DONALDS AND TOOK OFF IN MY 67 TO NEVER RETURN. HE MISSED THE TURNOFF AND ENDED UP ON THE HWY ON THE WAY BACK WITH THE FOOD. HE REALIZED HE HAD MADE A MISTAKE AND TURNED AROUND. HE MUST HAVE BEEN MESSING WITH THE RADIO OR FRENCH FRIES WHEN THE FRONT TIRE LEFT THE PAVEMENT. HE OVERCORRECTED AND WAS HEADING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. HE SWERVED AND ENDED UP OFF THE ROAD AND OVERCORRECTED AGAIN. THE MUSTANG ROLLED 5 TIMES AND HE WAS EJECTED. HE HIT HIS HEAD ABOVE THE VISOR ON THE WAY OUT AND DIED WITHIN MINUTES. IT WAS A TREMENDOUS SHOCK TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE. AT THE TIME I WAS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR AND ONLY HAD LIABILITY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I LOST A FRIEND AND A NICE CAR.

wow, im really sorry for your lose.

 

the guy who built my motor had a smililar situation, only he was driving a 67 convertable. He was driving down the highway when the back wheel broke loose, and sent him down an slope of an embankment and rolled twice. He still ownes the car, and its so weird to see thid dusty ol' convertable all restored, but so meessed up

 

yeah, That looks really bad right there. Im glad my car didn't spin the other way or it could have rolled.

 

Thats worse than what happened to mine. hopefully some day in the near future i will be able to start the restoration of my '67. here's some pics of her.

 

do you have 66 front valance on that 68 !?

 

I live in Lake Havasu. There are alot of bad accidents off 95 on a regular basis. Not to mention it seems like they find a body in the lake once a month. Sorry to here about your friend.

 

gta289 is right! Good eye gta. Junkyard does have a 65-66 front valence on his 67. I have never seen that. I thought the 67-68's were 1"-1 1/2" wider that the 65-66's. They must of had to spread that baby.
