World's Worst Mustang Fastback??? Is it Even Worth Fixing after Sitting for 40 years? 

I ended up buying remanufactured calipers and new pads and wheel cylinders. So far, the brakes are doing ok. But, I plan to make some improvements. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching. Tim Davis

My 67 fastback had manual disc brakes and they worked great. They had the kelsey and Hayes style brakes as well. I also used them on a disc brake conversion on a 65 Comet

I'm pretty impressed with them and the nice thing... replacements are available. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching! Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

It's a catch all! 😂

Agreed. We're usually working on Chevy's too but I've always liked Fastbacks.Thanks for watching sir! Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

Agreed. We'll do it right. Thanks for watching. Tim Davis 😊

Good info. Thanks and thanks for watching! Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop 😊

The brakes are terrible, and my dad is somehow surprised after not replacing the most important parts 😂

😂😂😂

Agreed!

😂

Wait... you're talking about me! 😂

Sometimes, we need to parent our grown offspring. 😂

Yep...got two from them. 👍🏻 Thanks for watching! Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

Restoration might be a little too generous when it comes to one of Tim's projects haha

Thank you sir! And... thanks for watching. Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

Thank you for your nice comments and thanks for watching. Much appreciated! Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

Thanks and thanks for watching! Tim Davis

I don't think it's moving fast enough to need a drag chute haha

​@SallysSpeedShop And probably never will. 😮

😂

Temporary lapse of judgement. I don't know what I was thinking. 😂

That's right! 😂 Thanks for watching Robert! Tim Davis

I fully intend to make it better/correct. I'm just trying to do the minimum to get it back on the road. After that, we'll go through it and do things right. Thank you for your encouragement! 😂 Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

You win the "Best Comment" award! 😂

It's looking even better now. We actually got it running but are chasing an overheating issue. Next episode coming soon. Thanks for your comment and for watching! Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

I think, even though it's bad, we're fortunate it was in the south.

As far as its origin, based on the VIN, the car was built in San Jose, CA.

Played for the Braves for a few years, including the 1995 championship team. Born in GA too.

He's a good guy!

We checked the VIN, it's a 2 barrel, 4 speed car. And...I plan on doing a lot of work on it and trying to do it right. I was just seeing how little work and money it would take to get it on the road. Then we'll start improving it. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching! Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

You're always such an encourager Bill. We appreciate you!

Yes

Thanks, I'll be safe. People getting hurt isn't cool or funny. Got remanufactured calipers and new pads, new master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders, all new lines and hoses. Everything will eventually be replaced. Thanks for your comments and for watching. Tim 😊

@@OldTimeRevival i have a 67 fairlane that was abandoned for 30 years that im doing the same thing you are doing i think i spent more on brakes than anything else

302 is cast into the block but, based on measuring the stroke, it's a 289, bored .040 over.

It’s just got an unsanded skim coat of bondo on the rear quarter for some reason. I can see a little bit of damage on the inside metal, but it seems like a lot of no so for what’s there haha

Honk if parts (or bondo) falls off. 😂

I got remanufactured calipers from RockAuto.

Don't drive without what, structural integrity? It'll be fine for now but, we do plan on making improvements. Thanks for watching! Tim

Yes sir! Thanks for watching! Tim

Freighburger says, "Don't get it right, just get it running." But...this thing is gonna be so right, when it's running. 😊

Good advice! Thanks. Already put remanufactured ones on it. I did wanna see if they would work but the bleeder screws were unable to be opened, due to being rusted away externally. Thanks for watching! 😊 Tim Davis

Yes, very clearly, on both sides of the engine bay.

My thoughts exactly! 😂 Tim Davis

Safety third! Also, I'm a RN. I can self treat... maybe.

And, to answer your question... yes, much worse. Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

Well, we're thinking it may be the World's Worst operational Fastback. Let us know if there's one out there, that's still on the road, that's worse. And, even though it may or may not be the worst, we plan on improving it over time, so it doesn't continue to hold that title. Still thinking about what to do with the 2nd Fastback. Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching. Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

Thanks for that info. I'll be changing them. Thanks for watching. Tim Davis

I'm never agreeing with him. 😂 Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop Actually, we get along pretty well. Thanks for watching!

I disagree with the way he works on stuff most of the time, but we have a good time regardless haha

It's missing the frame up front.

@@OldTimeRevival 500 is 500

This one really isn’t too rusty compared to what else I’ve seen out there. We definitely need to beef it up a bit though to be sure

What was a GT?

@@OldTimeRevival first gen mustangs with disc brakes were ordered as GT models. Along with the discs you got cool rally clock and tach, special gt badges and gas cap, better gauges, rally lights in the grill, dual exhaust with rear valance cut outs with cool exhaust tips sticking out, and other stuff. Gt models are the most desirable early mustangs.

​@56smitch Great to know. We've since got it on the road. How far we're gonna go to restore it, who knows but, we definitely want it better than it is. Next video should be out within the next week. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching! Tim Davis, Sally's Speed Shop

Well, we only have one but... it has gremlins so I guess plural is appropriate. 😂 Hopefully within the next couple of weeks. 😊

Thanks for watching! Tim

Uh...OK. I have no idea.

But after sitting for 40 years, it's still gonna drive! That's quality to me and I'm gonna love it.

Europe has made an incredible amount of completely crap cars, along with some good ones. Ask me how I know. (You may be right on the army thing.)

@saabtech3510 How do you know?

@@OldTimeRevival I've spent over 40 years working on cars, many from Europe. I've seen the good and bad from both USA and Europe. Actually the Japanese cars, like Toyota, have been much more reliable and quality control of parts etc. than either USA or Europe. I have owned dozens of cars over the years, USA, European, and Japanese. USA and Europe are about the same in my opinion, and my Toyota and Lexus are by far better quality than any of the others I have owned. Now, to be clear, I'm just referring to the "quality built vehicles" expression BIBIWCICC used. Other things are quite subjective, such as I loved the way the Porsche 911/930's performed. Many European cars were built for better handling than American cars, while America put more emphasis on straight ahead drag race style performance.

Is it still operational/on the road?

Btw, thanks for watching!
