- 73 mustang, 250 I6, 3sp on the floor, needs total resto
Hi folks,
I found this site just futzing around thinking about my poor poor 73 coupe, sitting at my parents place for almost 15 years.
Long story short, I bought it, brought it with me to college where it blew a head gasket. Poor student me couldn't afford to fix it, so my parents loaned me money for a more responsible and reliable car ('93 Saturn Sedan) and took the mustang in trade with the intention of selling it to recoup some of the costs.
Time went on and it never went anywhere, and every few years I get the idea that maybe I could make it drivable again. Then I go visit it at my folks' place and get discouraged.
Hoping to move into a place with a garage sometime in the next year, so hopefully I can convince my parents and my wife to let me park it there while I make it somewhat presentable again.
The car is nothing special. I've actually hated the color since I bought it, but it was cheap (towed, impounded, owner never picked it up) and I wanted an old car so I grabbed it.
its a 1973 coupe, 250 I6 with a 3 speed on the floor. Here's a quick video I made a while back:
