    68 Mustang fastback

    Hey Rich, As Mike and Julie stated those are the best places to check for the vin. I've actually seen a couple of 68 vins where the tag was actually on the passenger side dash visible through the windsheild. What do you have as far as paper work? It should have a vin on it. Once you...

    Spindles

    Hi, Ok, To answer your question Yes and no. In 68 Ford started with the single piston floating calipers ,These were available on v8's only.These used a specific spindle. In 68 drum brakes used the same spindles whether they were 6 or 8 cylinder .So you have v8 spindles,but you can't run 68...

    Installing 67+ Ford 9 Inch in a 65?

    Hey, As stated it will bolt into your car providing the spring perches are the proper length apart,which all first gen Mustang rears are. As you know the rear is wider so it really comes down to the exact rims you are going to run. I've known some people that have done it and gotten away...

    Looking for 1966 convertable in Buffalo,NY

    Hey Kelly, Welcome to the site. Your request could be a toughy. Personally I think the first thing you should try is to recall who the person was and try to contact them directly. If you can't do that,you can try to trace the cars whereabouts, Do you happen to recall the vin or the...

    I see and hear what you're saying but the only real difference in the castings by 69 would have been to account for "L" Changes. Contrary to popular belief Shelby didn't have his own special engines built so they all really started as the same basic block. Ford(Carroll was gone) was building the...
