    Whats it called?

    On top of the fuel tank (on a 71) the unit that allows for return fuel. Is it some type of pump or unit, if so what's the correct name so I can order one? It's not the sending unit, that's what I mis-rdered. Thanks.

    forgive me for not knowing the correct terminology here, on the crank that raises the window there is a little ball, in my case it was yellow,  on the crank , that snaps into the track that attaches to the window. Mine broke into pieces as I was trying to insert it back into the track. Is this...

    Why A Mustang?

    I haven't seen this discussion yet... WHO OR WHAT TURNED YOU ON TO MUSTANGS? What's the reason for you owning a Mustang (or two or three...)? As for me, I have a couple of older brothers who owned some , and I saw how awesome and fast they were. One brother had a 65 Fastback, green with a...

    Ebay Motors, Good and Bad

    I'm ignorant about Ebay Motors. Can someone give me some good and bad about their services? I'd like to keep it regional, but also know that a wider audience could result in a better and quicker sale for a classic. Thanks!

    Welding cost of floor pans

    While I have read many previous threads regarding floor pan installation, not much has been mentioned about costs. I do understand that a true cost may not be possible until the car is on a lift and looked at by a welder, but I'm seeking a general range for full pans both sides removed and...

    Ever hear of this remedy?

    My new acquisition, the 73 vert has a partially seized engine. The fly wheel can be moved a bit manually, but that's it. An old timer in town suggests removing the spark plugs and shooting in a diesel and turpentine mixture and letting it sit for winter. He says he's used it before on truck and...

    Another Horse in the Barn

    I've been asked, "How do I keep finding vintage Mustangs at such low prices?" It's just a matter of keeping my eyes open. I found another diamond in the rough, a 73 Convertible 302, for just $1000. My previous 4 cost less than $1600 each. While my 71 coupe is still in the resto mode, I...

    Car Shows

    A sad day yesterday, as I went to the Car Show at my town's Labor Day festivities. There was a great turnout of cars, over 60, which has been the most in years, and the turnout keeps getting better every year. But... The oldest Mustang I saw was a 1979! How can there not be something pre 1974...

    Letters or Script

    I'm trying to determine what is correct for my 71 Grande Coupe. I just looked at all the photos in the gallery for the 71's. On the trunk lid, I've seen the Mustang letters, the Mustang script, and sometimes nothing at all. What's correct? I've seen the letters below the keyhole, and one where...

    removing pin striping

    Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything in the search results. What's the best way to remove pin striping? I believe mine is an after market add on, and obviously very old.

    Has anyone tried these seat extender brackets?

    I was referred to yearone.com for possible parts and came across these seat extender brackets. I'm 5'16" and need some more leg room. I have seen other bracket extender modifications (that offer 3"), these look easier to install, but only offer 2". Has anyone used these? And is 2" going to make...

    Could It Be the Ignition Coil?

    As a follow up to one of my previous post: I'm still not getting a start. We diagnosed and replaced the ignition switch, thanks to all the previous guys for the suggestions. So, in addition, the carb was rebuilt, and I put in new: battery, solenoid, plugs, wires, rotar, condensor, cap, points...

    No Start, Need Help!

    I thought today would be the big day, the day I got my Mustang running. I installed a new solenoid, and fuel filter, as well as a battery yesterday. Today, with help I got the carburetor rebuilt. I turned the key and nothing. The battery somehow overnight drained out. There's as short...
