I had a 1969 Mach 1 back in High School, and I would like to create a modern version.
I am located in California and I plan attending road cruises/rallies across the US.
I purchased car in September 2019. The Mustang is in good shape and has had some modern upgrades. The previous owner performed many of the upgrades over the last 15 years.
Engine
· Currently has newer 302 V8 with Aluminum Heads
· Roller Cam, Roller Rockers
· MSD, Headers and Dual Exhaust, Holly Carburetor
· Flow Master mufflers, C4 Automatic Trans.
· Disc brakes in front and drum in rear, 8 inch rear end.
· Has some engine compartment updates, wires, battery box, covers.
Paint Body
· The car was painted 10+ years ago, but not inside door jams or other internal areas
· Looks great from 25 ft, but areas are showing the underneath paint
· Previous owner added aftermarket/customized seats, and updated interior carpet and headliner
· Body and under coating do not show any rust, but who knows whats under paint. There is some minor surface rust in the trunk
Electrical
· Has aftermarket alarm and stereo that does not seem to be grounded correctly and is currently disconnected.
· Right turn signals work, left turn signals do not.
· Dash lights do not work, but gauges do. Only one high beam works
I am not wealthy, but I do think I have a decent budget.
The body/metal work cost is the unknown factor and fear.
Some existing parts might be useful in project or can be sold.
Things I would like to get completed:
· Body modified and fully repainted
· Modern 400-500 HP crate engine
· Electronic ignition
· 4-6 speed Transmission
· Modern coilover front and rear suspension, 9 inch posi rear end.
· Modern Disc Brakes front and rear
· Modern, larger Wheels/Tires, lowered
· Modern digital electronics, dash gauges, stereo
· Aftermarket A/C (California Car)
· Interior seats reupholstered, lowered and longer track.
· More space for 6'3" driver
Nice to haves:
· Flush mount or remove door handles
· Side exhaust, or cutouts
· Push button e-brake
· Bumpers shaved, brought in to body.
· Functional hood scoop or shaker
· Power windows/doors locks
· Tilt Steering wheel or modern
