I was sifting through a bunch of old pictures yesterday and ran across some pics of my very first 1971 Mustang coupe! It was 1986 or 1987 and I had just bought a 1966 Mustang coupe that I wanted to restore and to do so I sold my old GMC truck so I needed something to drive. As I was heading...

Number four has gotten his learner's permit. Aye, what a happy wee lad he is!

Yesterday was a sad day for me as I had to watch the '71 go on to its new home over in Manchester. There was no way we could support restoring two classic cars and we certainly don't have the garage space so the Mustang was picked up by its new owners yesterday, Now we can devote all of our...

This weekend my wife and I were discussing what we could get our youngest, Jake, for his upcoming 15th birthday. For me, this was a no-brainer! He is going to get his permit but I figured since we will be starting on his engine in the next few weeks, why not get him something he can and will use...

This past weekend was the EPC's Classic Carfest Charity Carshow in St Peters. While I didn't get to spend but an hour or so, I did see some fantastic cars! This was the only '71 to '73 Mustang I saw! It was being judged (unrestored, daily driver I think) as we went by. Many other fine...

Hagerty's Motown Showdown Poll Ford vs. Chevy

So, as you know, my wife recently bought a 1999 Mustang convertible and loves it. So far this doesn't suck. She calls me up and tells me she cannot get the car to go in park. I have her tell my daughter to look at the tail lights and tell me if the lights come on when my wife applies the...

Has anyone else gone the route of foregoing normal aspiration in favor of fuel injection? I am taking a long hard look at all my options for this car and I certainly want the best drivability and performance I can get out of my Cleveland. Thoughts and suggestions on a system?

Warning: This is a very sad thing to look at, very sad. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/2572024185.html

What carburetor was installed by Ford for the 351C 4V engine? My car has been through enough hands that the original engine is gone (haven't checked the block ID numbers yet) based on the fact that there are 2V heads and a Holley 750 sitting on top. I have a line on a couple different sets of...

Last week I was out in San Francisco taking in some training with one of our vendors. I was truly enjoying the much cooler temperatures over what we have been enduring here in the Midwest and was actually feeling bad that my wife was still here suffering with a mini-van that takes forever to...

...who is dumb enough to have two project cars going at the same time?!? While I certainly didn't mean to do so, I somehow ended up with two projects going at the same time and, as Earl Smooter (Sweet Home Alabama) said, "You can't ride two horses with one ass, sugarbean." Again, we hadn't...

Many of us, like myself, like to do specific parts of a restoration over other parts. For instance, I'll dive in to an engine without blinking because I have done it so many times and am comfortable. By that same token, I have also done some body work in the past with success but still I don't...

My job is being sent overseas (not me, just my job) and, unfortunately, the Mustang is a toy, not a necessity. See it here. I need to sell this soon. $3,000

The Fort Zumwalt East HS Booster Club is hosting their first ever car show this weekend! We won't be able to get the Mustang down there but should be able to get the Firebird entered! Come on down and we can put faces to names! Mac

I finally got my report in and here it is.

I have a set of 'white rust' covered slotted mag wheels that came on my '71 Mustang that I plan on selling once I get a decent set of wheels that are correct for the car. I do plan on restoring them so I can increase their resale value and have been reading the Internet and found that it can be...

If anyone else is in the market for a large air compressor Lowe's is right now selling their 60 gallon 3.7 hp (220V AC) for $379! I bought mine the other day and they also allowed me to use my military discount so it was a whopping $322 for the compressor alone! In all I spent under the...

A couple of days ago my better 9/10ths (Chey) and I went to buy her a Jeep and it just didn't work out. We discovered more problems in less than five miles of driving than we were lead to believe. We were taking it home and it over heated within just a couple of miles and there was steam...

We recently received three free vehicles (long stories) and sold all three. The '09 F150 (I miss that truck), the '05 Dakota (I don't miss that truck) and the '71 El Camino. All served their purpose for us and got us on our way to buying, restoring (to a point) and reselling vintage vehicles...
