restored cars are cool to, if it was all original it would be worth a good bit, the car im basing this off of my dad had found in a junk yard, and rebuilt it for like 10 years

my grandpas 65 is a convertible. but it does have the original motor and all original body panels.

i have one qwestion for you blue504life. i have a (model) red mustang 1969 GT500 all put together. and was thinking of making it a xmod. but it came out looking great when i was done. its one of my best models. i was ust wondering if i should go through the trouble of taking it apart. but it would make a nice xmod. idk im kind of troubled on what i should do.

my grandpas is a straight 6. but the body is all painted and in great shape.

if its a nice car and all finished and stuff, i would leave it as is, and find another model kit, take it apart as a last resort, but thats a easy kit to find

i mite just make it an xmod. now that you say it, i have seen it every i go. so who cares if i use a good made model.

the just mustangs were from factory, the GT had a 289 when it was first introduced, 2 years later the 302 was added to the list, most guys with the late 60s stangs have changed them to fit the big blocks, like my uncle has a 67 coupe with a 351 cleveland (bigger in outer size then the normal 351), my cousin has a 69 fastback with a 351 winser (the smaller of the 351's) my dad put a 5.0 in a 66 coupe about a year ago, but it was basicly just a 302 in the car

[spitfire]

ya he pretty much summed it up.

Well when the mustang came out they had an option with an inline 6 or a 289 v8 and later a 302. Then in 1968 the cobra jet came out with a 428 which was the fastest production mustang until the 2000 cobra r.

The project appears to be turning out really great i would love to make one of my actual car but have yet to find a 67 coupe model.

well i just learned something, but im pretty sure there was no 428 cobra jet i think it was 429 cobra jet

thanks, my uncle has a 67 coupe its the same as the 66, just buy this kit if you want to do that

Well then i guess we both learned something because i had no idea there was a 429 cobra jet but there is in fact a 428 i have wanted one for so long but really expensive.

dont hold me to it, but im pretty sure there is one, if your looking for something with power, just get a 390, and through a cam in it, it would be just as bad as a 428

[supraboi97]

Ya that would have been a good idea but i have a 67 289 and was eventually planning on doing an engine swap for a crate motor. Sorry this thread got pretty off topic.
