ifixit8 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 So I have been wanting a classic car to have some fun with for many years, and I found this great steel of a deal and bought it. It is a 1965 mustang v8, it is a true mustang because of the vin being a c-code and 5lug bolt pattern. It has had alot of work dune to it already. All I basically have to do is paint it, put the chrome back on, and maybe upgrade the brakes to power discs. I figured that this would be a good one to play with especially since it's my wifes dream car. we are thinking a dark gunmetal color. I made a page for it last night on cardomain at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3151715 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember the same thing and it seems that the title was nearly identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator89 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 "it is a true mustang because of the vin being a c-code and 5 lug bolt pattern" So, does this mean my T code, 4 lug Mustang is a fake? For 8 years I've been driving a Camaro with the wrong name on it? Someone did a LOT of weeeeird body work to this Camaro. Now I'm pissed....

Eliminator89 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 :) Enjoy that Mustang. I've had mine for 8 years now. Loved every minute of it. Taken it on two Power Tours, drive it all over the place. Going in for body work and paint ASAP. There are several great Mustang forums out here. Mustangsandmore and Vintage Mustangs are two good ones. Be careful buying parts for it. There's a LOT of shoddy parts from China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am already a member of vintage mustangs. I with you on needing paint. mine is just in a primer state. That is why I need to sell my truck and bike. need the money to pay for paint or pay off the car. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
