  • I had the pleasure of exploring a 40 year old collection of Rare Mustangs I ran across. The 85 year old man was not only generous but full of great stories and even allowed me to make an offer on a Fastback.
    You don't want to miss this episode of Lost and Found Classics. There's a few really RARE Mustangs on the property we will explore towards the end of the video. I think you'll have a good time and feel my own excitement as you watch.

I had a 1967 fastback with a 289cu dark blue with two tone blue that same year. We were the only ones in high school that year with fastback mustangs at Maplewood in Nashville. Tn. I keep my car 15 years then I sold it . I miss the mustang now. 😢

      The channel is more dedicated to finding and rescuing classic cars rather than documenting the restoration process. Although I would greatly enjoy documenting every restoration I do, the time it takes to work and film at the same time makes it very difficult to accomplish.

    Love it, You are looking at cars the way I did back in the 60's Does it have a 4 speed , Does it have a tact , and what engine is in it. I notice in my days that it was a great find to find a tact in a ford, Alot Camaro SS didn't have a tact either. That is why hated it when these so call car builder would remove all the instrument cluster and put in something that look like you got it from jc whitney catalog.
    Inside the car is where all the memorys are and you should want to keep it that way.

    They make a conversion kit to turn the hard top mustangs into fastbacks. I've seen people cut the roof line and weld a reproduction metal roof to the body and it looks just like a fastback mustang. Something to think about.

    • @LostandFoundClassics
      @LostandFoundClassics  3 дні тому

      The coupe to Fastback conversions are very expensive and the quality of the aftermarket sheet metal is not as nice as OEM. I've assisted in a few of those conversions. This car is extremely solid from the firewall back other than the passenger floorboard. It look rough in the video but it's really not.
      The best way to repair this car is with a rust free front clip off of a coupe but I'll have to save the OEM shock towers because they a unique to big block and not the same as a small block car.
      The value of a Coupe to Fastback conversion is MUCH less than an original fastback because they still have a coupe VIN when the car is done.
