Found a car this summer very rust free fastback 351 auto. My plan is to jam a 429 and a big block toploader 4 speed jnto it and make it kook like a boss 429 car. Big project though!

 

Sounds like a great score, a rust free Mustang isn`t easy to come by around here.

 

ok now I'm jealous!

found in southwest sask sitting in a shed for almost 20 years!

 

Shed ain't bad it's when it's in a bush, you have to contimplate.

 

I had a 73 with a 302 in it a few years back... the body was excellent but the engine, tranny, diff, all made funny sounds at different times LOL... i miss that car

 

I spent some time parts searching - 429 engine/big block toploader/clutch and brake pedals and linkages for 4 speed conversion/gauge cluster with a factory tach/center console/chin and trunk spoilers/window louvers/etc. The car is a pretty plain jane car in stock form.

 

I still want it!

yeah, i could be convinced to take it off your hands, just for fun stuff a 300 6 in it !!!! ( i wanted a little redneck smilie spittin some tobbaccer, oh well)

 

I'm jealous too! In 99 I sold a mint 69 Mach I, still miss it even though I have the 65 & 67 Fastbacks.

 

My friend Rob (you met him Morris - the guy with the lightning) bought a restored 69 Mach 1 with a 351/fmx combination. Any ideas on where to look for parts, the engine seem easy to find, but some of the 4 speed stuff is tough.

 

There is guys around town but I`ve lost touch with them over the years. The Saskatoon Mustang/Ford club isn`t much help, a call to RPM at 652-6668 or Bob at Auto Trends 653-4455. They may know of used parts locally or Mustangs for sale.
Another idea to to go to the Saskatoon swap meets. While usually there isn`t alot of older Mustang parts at the swap meets you never know if you don`t go.

 

Wow that is a steal rust free stang sounds like a nice car you had Morris too bad you had to sell it a 69 mach 1 would have been sweet

 

This thread caught my eye. Stangs of that vintage are very nice indeed. Good luck with your project. Any pictures?

 

Ya! The '70 mustang fastback is my favorite stang!!!
