Finally got a picture of my other car.
You can't tell but it needs paint. (Nice part about white paint.)
And just in case anyone's curious:
64 1/2 Mustang
289 D-code w/ stock Autolite 4bbl
4-speed Top-Loader
3.00 Rear Gears
Rally Pac w/ console
The cars pretty much bone stock excluding the stereo and the wheels. The engine was rebuilt before I bought it and it's technically a 292ci motor. It's quicker than my Vette too. (Won't be in about a year when I get my ZZ4.)
Later

Looks good. The 5 lug wheels means it came from the factory with a v-8.
But a ford on a Vette site? You may have opened up a can of whop-az :nono:

One of my other dream cars is a 64 1/2 mustang 'vert. Red with a white top. Someday I will have one of those too. :D
Just such a great cruising car...and can hold 4 people.

My wife is a Mustang freak. She has a '69 Mach 1 which is a pretty nice car. I've always liked older (pre '71) Mustangs. Your's looks very nice.

Re: Finally got a picture of my other car. (Golden80)
Nice...all I have left of a D-code are the heads...long story, but the short version is quite simple.
A friend bought it and forgot the last owner said that it needed a rebuild. Well, I started doing some work on it for him (I got to drive it, he was driving his girlfriend's car)...and one day when I was going to the shop, bam...head gasket goes, smoke everywhere, engine...bad. Well, it turns out that somewhere along the line a freeze plug in each side of the block popped.
Needless to say, he went for the new engine is cheaper than a rebuild bit...and now the nice D-code block is gone...and I just have the heads that hopefully are still ok.
Need an extra set? :D
Oh, and let's see more pictures... :yesnod:

Nice looking car. I'm not much on Fords but my wife really likes the earlier model Mustangs. Looks like you've got the best of both worlds!

My other dream car is a 1968 Mustang Fastback. I've always wanted to buy one and mod the hell out of it. However, my family already thinks I'm crazy with two drivers and four cars, and every time I lift the garage door an start tallying up what it's going to cost to complete the two projects I already have, I go buy some Lotto tickets.

Golden80,
You have good taste. I have one of each parked in my garage also. But if one had to go, it would be the mustang.
Regards,
Dwayne
