The Story
I bought this Mustang for my daughter after finding it in the Battle Creek Shopper. The ad was only four lines long, and the car was a total basket case when I picked it up, but it had all its original sheet metal and panels. The previous owner asked me to bring it back to show him when it was finished. My daughter and I did a lot of the work on it together, and it's been on the road for 15 years now.
It runs a C4 transmission—what used to be called the green dot—with a Gear Vendors overdrive and a 3.73 posi rear end. If you want an original car, the green dot is what you look for. I added a few creature comforts like electric windows and power locks.
We also mixed in a few details from other years and models. The exhaust louvers are GT, while the gas cap and the dash are both from a 1965.
