Just watched that episode of WD after recording it last night....

Wow!

Very, very nice car, and even though I'm more of a GM muscle fan, I'd have a '67 Mustang without thinking twice. 390GT preferably, but not fussy wink

Hope you and your lad treasure it and enjoy it.

biggrin

Hi, I'm Russell's son Adam (and up until now the silent partner in the WD mustang ownership).

Thanks for all your compliments about our car, im so glad it's been well received. I'm also over the moon to finally own a mustang and be part of the classic car community!

If anyone is considering buying a car from the Wheeler Dealers I can only vouch for them and say they've done a cracking job, overall it's everything we paid for and more as loads of the work they've done hasn't even been mentioned... And mikes a legend!

Gazza your GTA looks lovely, and Darren it would be great to see ALL of your cars as well. If not at the classic car show in November then hopefully at a meet some time soon. Please message my dad to organise something!

I've always been into GM stuff but feel exactly the same as you about the 67 Mustang. It was always Adams favourite car since he was a nipper and I'm very happy to co-own it with him - mind you, he works 200 miles away from home and only comes home the odd weekend so he doesn't drive it much........... but I do. So basically 50% of the cost for 95% of the use - happy days !

My apologies for mixing you two up! Either way would be great to see what you own / have owned... You have great taste in cars (but are a poor judge of character!)

that episode got me looking at mustangs the morning after!

I think the mustang had a certain rough charm appearance wise i think I almost preferred the rough and ready look with A1 mechanicals, however seeing it with the new paint certainly changed my mind!

Any chance of a few more pics?

Glad you liked it - I'm uploading multiple images but for some reason only one is displaying. I'll sort some more out and work out the best way to upload them when I have more time.

Ok - make me out to be a liar - 2 pix uploaded that time - weird ! I have many more but the resolution is way too big to upload here as 2mb limit per image but will sort something out asap.

You know what ? you may well be right there ! But the concept still holds true if you were to do the work yourself you'd be earning profit from your labour. All you need is a fully equipped workshop, unlimited funds and help when required. Sounds just like my world - how about you ?

Caught up with this episode last night and would just like to add to the general concensus that it was one of the better Wheeler Dealers and congratulate Russ and Adam on their lovely new motor. Congrats!

Managed to get smaller pix off of my iphone, these were mostly taken September 15th when we went first to see the car and agree the price (not much haggling i'm afraid no matter what I tried).

jesus this image upload is flawed - it says you've uploaded 4 pix of max 2 mb but doesn't upload all of them so it's easy to get confused what you have and haven't sent.

Here's one of my boy - see how happy he looks -awww -sweet (he's a total tosser really !)
