    This is the Old Cars

    I had a 67 cougar... When I moved to where it snowed 14 yrs ago, I was convinced I needed a 4x4 to be able to get around. Traded it straight across for a pile of crap, brown 84 bronco... That was my big oops... hurts every time I think about it.

    New repop full length console?

    Hmm, makes me think I should post my console on here... Its in good shape and I'm not going to put it in the car.. What do they usually go for?

    I have no words for this....

    lmao omg... doesn't look like a 71 grill to me. Am I wrong?

    Will a 351w bolt into a 71 mustang that had a 302!

    Oh yikes... Not trying to thread-jack, but you can't put a 71 302 flex plate on a 97 302? The balancing is different???

    Mustang junk yard

    Even though the pictures are horrifying, the more they stack those stangs the more ours are worth! lol (which doesn't really matter because I would never sell mine. Maybe my kids will though when I kick the bucket).

    Ignition switch?

    Ya, I'm also thinking mice possibly... I have seen mouse crap in places. And when I turn the key on, no power goes anywhere, not to the solenoid, or coil, or alternator, just nowhere. The car stays dead, as if I haven't done anything. In the past I had an ignition switch issue where it...

    Ignition switch?

    Howdy, So I've got a 71 grande and its been sitting outside for about 12 years. Now when I go to turn the key on, nothing happens. Like nothing at all, no gauges, no lights, nothing. And yes the battery is charged lol I'm thinking rust has gotten into the wiring somewhere, but don't want to...

    Newbie with a '72 Grande

    Thats awesome :) I got mine when I was 17, and now I'm 37. I'm one of the lucky people who doesn't have to say, "I had one of those when I was a kid... Sure wish I didn't sell it!" I was even homeless and lived in my car for 2 months at one point. Do yourself a favor, and keep it forever :)

    what made you smile today.

    I went on a hike with my 9 yr old son and his 3rd grade class down to a place called "heart rock". I can't stop smiling when I watch him with his friends making lifelong memories :)

    GT40P headers for a 71?

    Not a problem Droptop73 :) Just as a side note, the GT40 heads (without the "P") are supposed to make more power than traditional heads, but they keep the same spark plug angle as original heads, so you don't run into header issues at all. I've heard they make as much as 20 more hp. If I were...

    GT40P headers for a 71?

    Ok, just for the reference of other GT40P heads owners in a 71-73 mustang, the JBA 1650S-2 1-5/8" Shorties WILL fit and clear everything. The only pain is getting the rear driver side bolt in. Other than that, everything is easy access. The BBK unequal length shorties WILL NOT WORK in a 71-73...

    GT40P headers for a 71?

    Well I'm looking for "cheap", and from my experience CUSTOM != CHEAP, if you know what I mean :) So I have decided I'm going to order the JBA shorties tomorrow, they are stainless and look alright, so I guess they are worth the extra $$. I will update this thread when I get them (later this...

    GT40P headers for a 71?

    I just finished sending these back. For a 71 with a C4, the collectors will not clear the bell housing. Not even close. Would have to notch out your block/bellhousing and notch the collector on the bbks. UPS literally picked them up yesterday, no dice. The plug clearance was fine, but no...

    GT40P headers for a 71?

    First of all, hello to all, and I'm very glad I found this forum :) I am building my mustang from when I was a kid (finally) and I know this site is going to be a huge help. Now, I DID search the site for possible answers to this, and also searched the internet for quite a while with no...
