    So I was looking for a 65, 66, Mustang ? and this car came up , after i saw the photo of it ,I keep going back looking at it ?
    Thinking that car has a cool look ( small ,fastback, and that hood ) So I brought it .
    Car needs to be put back together, But all the parts are there , so hopefully should be back on road .
    Happy to find you guys on this forum :cheers2::cheers2:

    I did kinda of the same , I was restoring a 69 mustang and a 72 comet came up for sale with a 347 crate engine …perfect bought the car for the engine I was going to put it in the mustang. it was set up for a certain class drag racing kinda of hillbilly but good engine with no hrs on it . Had 2 carbs on it got it running ran crappie but for just a couple of heart beats it hooked up and scared the crap out of me. Got the car into the shop and just kept looking at it then looking at the mustang with a 100 hrs into it still just a shell . Sold mustang and so happy with car so far put in a 4 speed changed the carbs to a Holley sniper
