2MDSPORT TUNING I got a 66 coupe and I get so much shit. But idgaf I like what I like people can suck dick. I’m not going to like a Chevy nova or Chevelle because everyone else likes and respects them.
I still have my 68 coupe. I have redone it a couple of times. I get a lot of compliments on it especially from the younger crowd. It’s loud and a handful to drive but it always makes me laugh. .... And the value continues to rise. Win win.
100% agree. The coupes have been overlooked for way too long. I built a Terlingua coupe homage about 3 yrs ago, and I’m starting a new one this month. Gotta buy them now before the prices get ridiculous.
Way back in '86, my first car was a '67 Mustang and I "Shelbyized" it with the lowered suspension, did engine mods to the 289, got a T-bird close ratio steering box and 9" rear end. I was trying to copy the Shelby in this episode. My car rode like crap on anything except smooth pavement with the stiff single-rate springs, but it was a go-kart in the turns, and I loved it.
67 T/A Mustang me too, over in Australia, just put a 8.8, 3.73 under it, being a base T code I don’t feel guilty about it. Will have a Aussie Built 1977 Cleveland 302
@@stunnindunning Well, I have already sold the car since my reply on here. I ran 15" American Racing Torque Thrust Ds in all the way around with Good Year Blue Streaks. Literally the same set up as the car in the video. I'm not in to big wheels on old cars and wanted to stay true to the 60s look.
I put together a 68 with relocated control arms and alignment specs from the 350r, along with other steering, suspension and brake upgrades, that mustang carved it up from Mulholland dr. in Hollywood to PCH. once a week just for kicks...back in the day....
Perhaps a part of the mass appeal of the original Trans Am racing series was that the cars were stock appearing without all the aerodynamic tupperware allowed in today's sedan racing?
My first race car was a 67 fastback 390 car. All I knew was motor so scratch built for a 1/4mi flat oval I was completely lost. But damn it was fun and 3 years in it made a driver out of me.
This car is not "original"--it's been over-restored just like the vast majority of classic cars from this era. The original cars didn't have their engine compartments, interior, trunk and underbody painted in the body color. And most likely the brakes and suspension (springs, shocks, bushings) have been updated with modern pieces. I've been to many vintage events at Willow Springs Raceway where vintage Mustangs (GT-350s, TransAm racer cars) were running and almost all of the cars have been significantly modified or over-restored. The old saying, "A car [or boat or airplane, etc.] is only original once" is still true.
The 302 Windsor with Cleveland heads [if this car has them], has to be the best motor ever built at 302.4/5 cubic inches. They rev so quickly, with tons of grunt. What Chev or Chrysler motor at roughly 302 ci was better?.
I just went to my garage and looked at my '68 coupe. It looks like It's been cut back and the chrome strip reattached, i'm guessing to get more air through the radiator. The lower front valance has also been opened up like the older Shelbys probably for the same reason.
