Can't build it for that.

Thank you!

Every drum was locked up and the truck already has dings and dents. They didn't damage anything loading it.

It's probably already sold. A lot has been cleaned out in the last two weeks.

Or better yet, a 2.3L Turbo motor out of a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with a 5 speed and an 8.8 with rear discs.

@@LostandFoundClassics okay.. That's a little smarter.

@@zeeelander It'll fit a whole lot easier and will be lighter with the same power as a mild built small block :)

I've been doing this about 25 years now. There's a lot of ways to find good stuff. In this case, a friend of mine who knows I'm into old Ford Trucks contacted me to let me know someone was selling a collection of cars that had been tucked away for 40 plus years. You have to connect with people who are doing the same thing, especially salvage yards who run into stuff all the time. They need to know you and call you when they find stuff before they crush it. Additionally, Facebook, Craigslist, Swap Meets, Car Shows, Even UA-cam Videos can be helpful because people explore old salvage yards on youtube and share the info. But there's nothing like driving around and knocking on doors. The old fashioned way connecting with people who have cars in garages and back yards. Be sure to have a stack of cash on hand. Some people won't sell unless they see money in your hand and they know you are serious. Some people won't sell because you think they are going to low ball them so if you make a serious offer often they will take it.

It's a first generation Ford Mini Truck. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it.

Thank you! And thank you for watching. Be sure to subscribe for more fun finds like this.

It's cleaning up very nice!

@@LostandFoundClassics keep us posted, will wait for notification

Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your feedback. I appreciate the encouragement. It's great to have you as a subscriber. Be sure to check out the other videos on the channel. I have a few more swap meet style videos to edit and upload in the coming months. Additionally, check out the classic car finds here as well.

There's a $15,000 road race performance chassis under the truck. It'll out perform most modern sports cars.

Thank you.

They had one but it sold before I got there. I did get it on film and will be posting a video like this one to youtube in the next week showing it.

That's awesome!

Thanks for sharing the story. It's interesting how these old pieces of metal bring back memories. My mailman brought me a picture yesterday after seeing this one in my driveway. He too had a first gen courier as his first vehicle and wanted to show me the picture and tell me how it made him think of great memories. Thanks again for sharing, I always enjoy these stories.

@@LostandFoundClassics You are most welcome. As a side my high school had grudge racing against other area high schools at Green Valley Raceway and that truck beat Toyotas , Datsuns and Chevy Luvs. I added an Offenheiser intake and a Hooker header. I removed the air pump and rejetted the zenith Stromberg carburetor. It ran a little better than stock. It would vapor lock in the Texas heat.

@@allanleeth2415 Those are good mods to consider. But I'm thinking more of a 2.3L Turbo out of an 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

@@LostandFoundClassics Those were mods I made in the 70's. Good luck with your project.

The truck has a $15,000 custom chassis under it for road racing. It'll outperform most modern sports cars on the track.

Man, that's unfortunate. Thanks for sharing the story though. It's interesting how these old pieces of metal bring back memories. My mailman brought me a picture yesterday after seeing this one in my driveway. He too had a first gen courier as his first vehicle and wanted to show me the picture and tell me how it made him think of great memories. Thanks again for sharing, I always enjoy these stories.

Thank you for sharing that! Yes, the Fox Bodies are now starting to become collectors as well. If you jump over to the Summit Racing Equipment youtube channel and type in 1993 Cobra you'll see a video of the 1993 Fox Body Cobra I helped restore in my 20s. There's even a picture of me in the video doing the body work.

@@LostandFoundClassics Late Model Restoration (LMR) youtube channel did a beautiful restoration of a ASC McLaren Capri with Coyote swap! Fortunate Foxbody cars have repo parts to keep them going just like the classic Mustangs.

@@Twolife Those McLarens and Early Saleens are sweeet!!!!

Is it on Facebook Marketplace and what city?

@@LostandFoundClassics It's not on FB, they're in Waxahachie. I stumbled across them looking for some other classics in that area. They're on OfferUp 2500 for all 4.

@@LostandFoundClassics They're in Waxahachie. I stumbled on them looking for other classics in that area. They're on OfferUp going for 2500 for all 4. I could reach out and ask his number for you.

@@LostandFoundClassics It's in Waxahachie, he wants 2500 for all 4. I've reached out to him and asked for his number. But the post is on OfferUp

It needs a 2.3L Turbo and a 5 speed out of a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with an 8.8 rear disc brake setup.

Thank you for the encouraging comment! I've had about 40 plus 60s Mustangs over the last 25 years and they are a joy. I'm actually a certified PPG painter, welder, fabricator, and restoration expert. The restoration process on this one wont be very difficult. The underside of the car is very rust free compared to other cars I've owned and the rear frame rails are like new. Once the front frame rails are repaired it won't take much to make it a driver again. Be sure to subscribe for more fun finds like this. I'm also about to upload a video of a 1965 GTO and a Gran Torino. Enjoy!

@@LostandFoundClassics My dream car is a Mustang Fastback aka Eleanor. When I first seen gone in 60 seconds I instaly fell in love with that car . To me that was the ultimate badass muscle car it didn't get no better the Eleanor. You said you were a certified PPG painter I have a 96 Ford Probe SE Hatchback a few years ago I paid a guy 10K to . Do a one of house of Kolors camelion Green, Purple and Blue paint job with heavy metal flake by Lil Daddy Roth on it . Unfortunately instead of giving me a 10K paint job it looks more like a $500 paint job. Sometime down the road I'd love to have it repainted

@@psementalist That's unfortunate to hear about the outcome of your paint job. The House of Kolor and Flake isn't cheap. They also require specific skills to apply and not every painter has those skills. I've not only sprayed house of Kolor but also sold it for a while. It's great stuff when used properly from start to finish and applied with correct PSI and pattern.

That's awesome! I like the independent front suspension which was a change for Ford since the I-Beam was still being used on the larger trucks at the time.

Correct! The second generation courier received the first 2.3L engine and later became the Ranger. This is the first generation.

Sort of, the Courier has a 1.8 rather than the 1.6 the Mazda received and there are several other differences this specific year right before the second generation started.

Completely Agree!

@@Johnnycdrums Thank you!

Hopefully it'll be me one day.

It's a small truck that came factory with Mustang 2 independent front suspension. This is the first generation of Ford's "Mini Truck" and was built in Japan. It's a unique piece of history and an extremely rare color. I realize it's not everyone's cup of tea, but its a fun little parts getter for me and my shop.

I grew up working on my own cars in the late 60s and 70s! The late 70s to the late 80s was a waste land of exciting cars for me. Saying that I can see the excitement of restoring something that is rare and I haven’t felt that in a long time.

No. You are horribly wrong.

Again why!

Thank you!

Yeah, I spent 12 years in Ohio before moving down south. You almost never see these up North or in the North East unless they are restored or rotten into the ground. This one is complete with 4 cylinder 5 speed manual, keys, and a title. It was a great find!

No thanks

It is my hope to help him out as much as I can. But he also lives very far from me.

That is both awesome and gracious of you as well not to mention the honorable thing to do. My favorite part about my car hobby is all the wonderful facts that I meet and that it gives me the ability to keep pushing myself because of my passion. Health is tough for me personally but this is my activity of choice and I'm so thankful for it everyday. Blessings on your endeavors and looking forward to seeing a wonderful transformation of the Mustang

@@rokkinroll Thank you

That information is not being shared. But I live in Oklahoma.

Hi there, You are correct, all GT optioned cars came with disc brakes. This 67 is not a GT.

Yeah sad huh For reals you are correct 💯

Actually, because of the climate these cars are in they are still very solid. This isn't in the rust belt or up north.

I'm a certified PPG painter, welder, fabricator, and restoration expert. So fortunately, I don't have to pay a shop to have it done. It won't cost anywhere near that to restore.

Agreed!

We don't know that for sure. And as long as I know where they are they still have a chance in the future. 😉

I totally understand the feeling.

Thank you, It's definitely a 360 or 390 FE engine but it has a truck intake on it. The 351M and 400 are completely different animals.

It's actually extremely solid from the firewall back with rust only on the driver and passenger floor pans.

Cool. Enjoy the build.
