Howdy Hi Hello
New guy here, pure bred California boy. I've had my 72 fastback for three years now. 351C, FMX trans. I spent a lot of time doing custom body work and such, working on the interior now. I shaved off the door handles and side marker lights and painted it Black Cherry. Im saving up right now to upgrade my engine, something newer, with injection and manual 5 speed perhaps. Oh.. and the magic words, twin turbo. Along with that an upgraded mustang II suspension and getting rid of the rear springs, and some new wheels, but for now, working on a custom interior and going to school.
How about a picture you say? Here ya go:

RE: Howdy Hi Hello
Something much easier to build up and take care of. I know it's blasphemy, but I have a source to get parts for Chevy 350s for cheap, so that mated up with a T5 transmission and a pair of Garret turbos should do me for close to 800 rear wheel horses, maybe more, less.. we'll see. Whatever it is, I intend to scare the living daylights of anyone who dares to drive next to me. It already does with a stock cleveland anyhow.

How much does the '72 weigh? It always seemed a good deal heavier than my '69 did. You would certainly have one hell of a set-up to get 800hp to the ground.
Keep us posted as to which way you go with your project. *cough*build the 351C*cough*
