Good luck, very nice 67 Mustang fastback 390 GT ,manual went on " Car & Classic " a couple of days for £79,995,

Shelby replica notch !!! not fastback , estimated £36K-42K at Historics.nuts

Makes your R/T look good value, makes you wonder at what cost to replace it for the samescratchchin

Been on C&C for a month, dont think it all that, plus its a slusher, ++ wrong engine bah bah ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 10K to overpriced
The guy who advertised the T/A on "Car & Classic" a few weeks ago did a deal with a 69 Mach 1 390 manual with a trader

that sold the T/A on to who is advertising it now on E-bay, I'm not 100% sure but i think it's our old friend Budgie from Musclecar Technology ,

Seems to be a few yanks around your way sitting outside workshops, owners seem to be happy investing money

in these old cars now that they are increasing in value, There's a 71 C3 454 big block in "Classic Car Auctions" tomorrow,

£60K restoration 10 years ago, estimated at £28K-£32K , a lot less than the silver big block car that sold in Historics a couple of months ago.

Any road trips planned this weekend in the Masa, driving

Some of these cars wonder round the trade for years, nobody showing them love with little or no money spent,

Ye noticed that as well,you can change your E-bay name and tel no but your style of ad normally gives it away.

Was thinking about phoning to see if he wants to pay me ???rolleyes

The trouble is at the moment the 'real world' is all over the place, so no need to be out of pocket if there is the chance that someone will be only too eager to beat your door down and hand over more dosh than you might otherwise be expecting....especially if it leads to that bucket list bullnose T/A with a M22.

An epic trip to the petrol station is planned for tomorrow, if it’s nice out! Not had time to really take it anywhere this week, what with work getting in the way and me removing various bits of it to clean and repaint...... no work tomorrow so I’ll be getting stuck in with cleaning the interior properly and erring on the side of caution I’m going to give it a cooling system flush and refill before giving it some welly as it runs quite hot, even for an Italian V6.

It’s been in my possession exactly a week and the ‘buzz’ still hasn’t died down..... wink

Ref the local yanks - that body shop I mentioned appears to have about a third of its workload taken up with various medium sized yank metal, the rest is a mix of British stuff like Stags, Bentleys, Jags etc, with the odd Italian appearing occasionally.

Bless ya ..................................................thumbup


one of the reasons its become a bit of a thing now , is my age, my knee, and lots of talk of Redundancies at my place, ive been told im safe as im pretty much now a lone cannon, the other body guy never came back following Furlough,
Ive got a lovely new Oven to play with, state of the art paint scheme, so thinking its probably my last hurrah so to speak,

newsatten------- l expect you have seen it already, 74 T/A manual, not what you want but close,

Seem's to cheap unless photo's are hiding something, Just thinking you won't have to sacrifice your R/T to buy it, thumbup

Have a bit of fun and move it on if not for you and you still got the R/T,

Had a busy week by my standards anyway, at last got the overdrive out of the MK 2, now got to investigate what the problem is

and serviced and mot'd the MX5, forgot what a great little car it is around my local lanes, being L.H.D we took down to Spain 3 times,,

never missed a beat, Can't remember if i said it's U.S.A spec and trying to find out if we can import it into Canada when my daughter

goes back. scratchchin

Been to Peter Saywell's charity Goodwood track day today, first one for 2 years due to covid,

Lot's of Italian exotics there of cause ,stunning 68 Lamborghini 400 there ,gunmetal grey with red interior, chrome Borrani's

think it was the same car featured in "Octane" recently ex Paul McCartney, left all the modern stuff in the shade.

A really nice replica GT40 and a Falcon was on the track which made a refreshing change from the modern Ferrari's 911's and McLaren's .

Perhaps not the best year for a Torino (which is really a Fairlane with a new name) - I know some will say "but its a vert - its got an 'economical' 289" - me? - prefer a 70 or 71 coupe

Seen this on Collecting Cars - very left field but so classy
