Custom aluminum dash is mocked up but original dash comes with car. Have full set of new and vintage 2 5/8 Stewart Warner gauges included with the car.

Engine was assembled by 2 experienced mechanics and is fully blue printed and balanced by Engine Rebuilders of Boonville Missouri. Sorry the engine was not put together by Carrol Shelby, Holman Moody, Jack Roush, or any other famous person, if you want an engine built by one of these guys then pay as much for it as I am asking for everything here.

Car is set up to use factory wiring harness that I have with a few modifications. I have a lot of spare parts, trim, back seat, and Talladega grill seal. The car is sold AS IS where it is. You have to come and pick it up. The car does not move on its own and does not brake on its own. Rolls and steers fine. The car comes with a truck load of parts that can not be packed into the car for shipping so you must come and pick up the car and have room for extra parts. Payment is bank to bank wire transfer or certified bank check with ALL of you banks contact information in the check to include a phone number NO EXCEPTIONS. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I will not part the car out and I will not disclose the reserve. Contact me if you would like to look at the car in person before you bid. You will never see another one the way FORD would have built it back in 1969. TiTle is clear and in my name. Car will need exhaust headers finished (halfway done), wiring re-installed, brake lines connected, hydraulic clutch slave cylinder lines run, aluminum dash finished, minor fabrication work, interior installed and body work.

If you are a tire kicker please move on, there are plenty of new Mustangs listed on ebay you can buy. I will answer every serious question, from serious buyers, I will not talk price, this is an auction not Auto Trader. If you want to talk price send me a number, if not don't waste our time. Some of the serious questions I have received but could not post because people sent there phone numbers. The engine is turned over by hand once a month and the oil pump is turned with a drill at the same time. The oil in the engine is ST-30 with Red Line oil additive. I do have pictures of the original body but did not post them because they are not digital, I am getting them put on a disc now and if ebay permits I will post them. Transmission was rebuilt with parts from David Key transmissions I do have a windshield for the car, it comes with the car as long as I can get it out of the rafters in one piece. On Feb-18-13 at 13:27:16 PST, seller added the following information: Thank you for the offers (15 so far) But I am not interested in any trades, cars, trucks, boats, or your 1967 Air Stream trailer. On Feb-20-13 at 16:10:55 PST, seller added the following information: Answers to questions The Bell housing is the factory Ford thick aluminum scatter shield unit that came in some of the "factory" race cars Ford produced The front bumper and brackets are factory Talladega parts and the front bumper is steel. The chrome was sandblasted off and the copper plate is what is showing in the picture. I have an extra hood, passenger door (dented) and original trunk lid that go with the car with all of the other trim and parts listed above. The engine is set up to run on "pump" gas. Final compression ratio was calculated at 10.6 to 1 I have the under hood and factory wiring harness extension for the Talladega front end. I have the hood springs, hood hold down bracket with front header panel support, hood latch extension and hood release cable. On Feb-23-13 at 04:47:45 PST, seller added the following information: Reserve lowered. On Feb-23-13 at 08:17:53 PST, seller added the following information: Someone asked about the wheels and pointed out that Pantera's had 15X8 on the rear and 15X7 on the front. The car has 4 "rear" 15X8 REAL Magnesium wheels installed. The tires are new Firestone Indy, they have been on the car for a few years, they are not dried out. Forgot to mention that the front lower spring mounts are roller bearing, not stock rubber bushings and I have a set of Holman Moody adjustable lower front suspension arm links that go with the car. Also have new steering center link in the box plus the one on the car is still good. Reserve is met so car will sell to the highest bidder.
