This one is flawless. If you built this car today it would still sell. I’d buy it under different circumstances. gorgeous.Sean Maytumi had a ford fairlane 65 wagon with a lightblue metal flake, 289 mustang engine and 4 on the floor. was one of the best cars i’ve ever had.Oct 19, 2018, 7:38 PMNick HeywoodFord engines breathe wrong 🙂😎

I’d still have one though. Art’n’Archetype’n’all 😀😁Oct 19, 2018, 7:48 PMNicholas ManousosI had 67 Mustang in 1977. I bought it for $200 and kept for less than 6 months. It rattled a lot.Oct 19, 2018, 7:52 PMJohn EdwardHere’s another Ford you might like:

That day came last year, and while it’s not a GT500, I absolutely love driving this car.Oct 19, 2018, 11:16 PMCurt Doolittleyeah, but man…. 200k? They’d have to get the price down to 50-60k and there is no reason for more than 300hp in that class of car….Oct 20, 2018, 9:18 AMCurt DoolittleI know. I’m whining about price and they did a great job. Yes.Oct 20, 2018, 9:18 AMKari Anne DorstadVery nice ! I would of gone fore a ride in it ! Lol awesome wheelsOct 20, 2018, 9:30 AMDave QuickThis is par for the course on a one off bespoke car. Either you can pay to play or you can put your own 1200 hours and track down all the exactly right parts and rebuild the donor car. Having just restored the tiny mini I have back to original spec – I’ll likely never repeat that effort again personally and I have a new respect for the work involved to do it right. I’ll gladly trade their time for my money when compounding makes that cost a rounding error.Oct 20, 2018, 12:18 PMCurt DoolittleGot Photos of the mini? (I would never do the work. My uncle did a restoration of a 53 MG-TD and i learned not to do that from him. lol I’d buy a low mileage 67 mustang tho. And drive it all the time like I did my ferrari.Oct 20, 2018, 12:44 PMCurt Doolittlewait… just found it in your profile page… wowOct 20, 2018, 12:45 PMCurt DoolittleVery nice Dave. Damn…. what inspired you?Oct 20, 2018, 12:46 PMDave QuickCurt Doolittle i always wanted to try a physical thing like painting/fixing and the mini seemed brain dead (no computers) and small enough to tackle. I decided to paint it same color as the model 3 we had on order so it would be fun if we went to a car show to have them next to each other.

Anyway – it was a bucket list item of “restore classic car at home” and my nephew helped me paint it outside right on this driveway.

Checked that off and my back is still achy so next car I trade money for instead of labor.Oct 20, 2018, 1:01 PMCurt DoolittleIt looks beautiful. Really. I don’t have to ask about the model 3. I know already. 😉 -hugs man.Oct 20, 2018, 1:02 PMDave QuickCurt Doolittle funny enough the roof of the mini is the same color at our VW camper van because we repaired and repainted one of the panels. This was a very practical repaint – i now have a lifetimes supply of touch up paint for both those other vehicles AND the mini.Oct 20, 2018, 2:01 PMJoe Boyumboomers gonna boom.
