Wow...

Today my uncle took me for a ride in his 65 mustang that he just got done building. It has a 351W in it and is pretty built up. The engine dyno'd at 418 from the company he bought it from. He added a few things so i guess its up to 435 ish. Anyways when he took me for a ride i nearly crapped my pants at the power of this thing. 435 HP feels a hell of a hot more then what it sounds like. It was one of the only times i've been almost scared riding in a vehicle.....its always nice to appriciate some good american muscle especially when someone did all the work themselves.

Hell yeah it is. If I ever get to the point where I can have another toy, it will be an early 90's Mustang GT w/ a manual that has been untouched. I find this to be hard bc Mustang's are know for reliable power and are relatively cheap to build.

You can never go wrong with old American muscle. My uncle has a 67 Camaro SS that is incredible. This thing is crazy fast. Im still trying to convince him to let me drive. You have any pics of the Mustang?

 

[bmonee5]

naw no pics but i'll work on it. Its a deep candy apple red with a shelby cobra raised hood and 20" chrome dub rims. The only thing he didn't do on it was the paint and the motor..other wise it has a explorer rear axle with posi and i believe a mustang 2 front axle kit. This car is rediculously fast and loud...plus its just really pretty. I wish i could have something along those lines.

Sweet pony.

not digging the wheels, I'm more of a 15" person on stangs... but otherwise a sweet looking stang

That makes two of us. Other than the wheels, I do dig the car.

I like the "old school" Cragars or Keystones in 15". Car does look good! Seen a lot of people on Mustang sites going to the Explorer rear end. Ranger is also about the exact same width as the early Mustangs and used as well.

i thought it would be cool to steal that engine and put it in a short bed single cab 4x4 ranger....

Yeah, the wheels need to go. These:

17" Torque thrusts FTW

Torque thrusts look great on just about any year mustang.

I love 60's stangs.

Funny a thread about classic mustangs came up...I'm bringing home a 69 mach 1 next weekend, which I found in a barn about 5 miles from where I work.

I like the look of Torque Thrust wheels but it gets old seeing them on every kind of car out there

I had a 67 it was a good car but those 69s are beautiful had a friend with a 428 SCJ and he put a 427 in it.

The thing about the 66 is it's a light car that motor is really going to move it.I rode in my friends 08 shelby 500 with some work done to it last summer as much as I trust him it was pretty scary.
