Hey All,
Here's a story.
Part I
2003
16 years old, fresh license, and itching for the first car. Blessed with a cool dad. Spots a 72 mustang convertible, takes me to look and I end up loving it. Had to sit in the used car lot for 1+ year before I could tow it home. Sale price: $500. "Engine seized" they said, hah..had it started within a month.
Car was in rough shape, but had it running and driving to school shortly. 302, 2bbl, Cragers, nothing fancy, rest of details hazy, but dude. I'm. Never. Selling. It!
Tried a few crazy things: (a)yanked 302 out, (b)put in 5.0 EFI from Lincoln with AOD, ©yanked 5.0 out, hurricane beat up car when couldn't put it away, (d)picked up 73 donor car with 351C, put that in
2006
19, heading to NJ college, take car to shop for driver door post repair. Let it hang out while away.
2007
20, hanging at school, received phone call from pops...not a good one. Body shop up and went, took car with it! I'm...not crying, I swear it's just..it's just the moon is really bright, bothers my eyes!
Included two pics, but sadly, don't know where she is now!:
>1st picked up
>Daily drive condition
Part II
2013
26, working stiff, 2010 fusion as commuter, 92 F-150 weekend truck, but always on prowl for replace 71-73 convertible. Found one on Craigslist for $2000: H-Code, 351C, Auto, included some new body parts, new floor pans, frame sound, needs body work, especially in trunk area. I've found a replacement for the first one and am complete again! Haha
First to-do: get running.
Nothing is happening when i put key in and turn. New battery, regulator, solenoid, replaced bad starter switch with new one, still nothing. Though looks like I'll need to replace connector coming from dash harness (in rough shape). I've got power going to the 'S' terminal on the solenoid. I'll replace connector and if still nada, trouble shoot the wire itself.
Here's the new one:
