Welcome from Rhode Island. Great looking car. I love the seats. Is your steering wheel original? I have the same emblem on my 72's rim blow steering wheel. The story I got was that my dad had the dealer who was a family friend take the rim blow off a Torino since he did not like the 2 spoke wheel hence the non Mustang center emblem I have. I will never change it though.

Thanks to all for the welcome! To answer the question, it's not an original 429 car but it is all 1970 429 cj running gear. It has headers, edlebrock intake, holley 780, 2 and1/2" exhaust to the mufflers and 3" from the mufflers, an original ram air system,even staggered shocks. Options are PS, PDB, and rear disc brakes, gauges and tach, tilt wheel, pwr windows, and air cond. I redid the seats with leather and in the Mach 1 pattern. The tires are BFG TA's, 245-60-15 and 295-50-15's.

Attached is more pictures, I 'll post more when I get a new camera.

Thanks for your honesty. Now here is mine >>> Your car is a very tastefully done car. I like that it represents well (period correct). And black is my favorite color on our 'Stangs.

Well done!

Thanks. I have put a lot into the car, especially the running gear to make it correct for a 429 car. It's such a fun car to drive and I get a lot of attention with it. I still have a few minor things to do but I have a 69 fastback I currently working on to be a mean street/strip car.

Hi Ron, I don't know if the wheel is original to the car. It was in when I bought it. I really want a rimblow wheel but they are spendy.

Thanks for the reply, this seems like a really cool forum.

Thanks for your reply Staci. You are right about the forum there are a lot of good guys on it that love our cars and want to help preserve our breed. I like to offer help any way that I can.

Best, Ron
