Westlotorn and 68hemi- thanks guys! I love the old stories. Couldn't put a Chevy in a Ford newer than '53 or '54 though.

I like all kinds, but everyone has a favorite- my favorite has just always been a c2. My 69 is a great little car but I've had a few and the mustang is the latest flavor. Still leaning toward keeping the 64 (no question) but cutting loose the 69.

I took the family for a - short - ride in the subdivision after my last post. The car is tight except for a little water pump noise. I'll go through it.

Lots to do maintenance on but I'm still gratified it went for a drive today.

The corvette brotherhood really makes a guy feel good about an F car, and I appreciate it.

don- mom and dad each has 69 fastbacks not at the same time. LOVE the styling.

68hemi

Looks good. Do you have the trim rings and center caps for those wheels?

tuxnharley

I believe those are '68 wheels.

rtruman

Great looking Car love it doesn't get any better than that.
That was my first choice before I got the vet .

ChattanoogaJSB

I think they're 68 "GT" type wheels yes. I like them! I don't have the caps and rings. I do have a nice set of the original full wheelcovers that came with the car.

(I also like some 17" modern wheels including the factory 5 spoke from about '2002.)

I was a Corvette diehard, and had no use for Mustangs in the mid 60's. One day in late 1968 another Vette owner was riding with me and as we went by a Ford dealer he suggested we drive around back. There were the first 1969's, which had just been unloaded and were not prepped for show yet.

I still recall my exact words. "I hate to say it, but I finally found a Mustang that I like."

A couple years later I sold my '67 Vette and bought a basket case '56, and a friend was selling his '69 Mustang and I bought that for a DD. I don't have any pics of just the car itself. Since we are talking about Mustangs, should I apologize for having a Vette in the photo?

tuxnharley

They are good looking wheels on a great looking all time classic car in any case!

68hemi

Yes, I believe with the big "GT" letters on the center cap.

ChattanoogaJSB

yes, I'll probably run the plain cap as seen on Mach 1's and (I believe) some torinos. So I'm not posing.

midyear

working on similar car right now..69 351 4 speed mach 1.

ChattanoogaJSB

Don- photos with Corvettes in them are always appropriate. Even when they're inappropriate (Kermie).

Midyear- love the Mach 1!

Railroadman

That's a beaut, Midyear! Mine was not a Mach One or anything special, but the body lines were sharp regardless.

Dare I ask what my CF buddies who own mustangs use for a Mustang forum?

Vintage Mustang (vintage-mustang.com) for general Mustang talk, or Concours Mustang (concoursmustang.com) for die-hard restoration stuff, like NCRS but for Mustangs.
