So a family friend of ours has had a Mach 1 Mustang (1969 I believe) just sitting at there old farm house. Unfortunatly It has been sitting under an eve since about 1995 maybe. It is nowhere near perfect condition, but everything is there and intact. The down fall of my find is that the roof has bowed in Im assuming due to the amout of rain that has sat on it for the past years. The interrior is still good I think and no mold is growing.



If I were able to get this at a minimal/no price would it be worth it to try to restore it? Where would I go abouts getting a new roof to weld in place? I know this would take lots of work but I think I am be willing to try.



I was told the car ran fine when it was driven to where it sits. (A brother owed him some money and so he gave him his car as a payment,,,and there it sits....)



Would just the motor be worth pulling and building up?



Here is a pic I entered into the fair a year ago!

I found this little gem at the side of the road yesterday. It's metal, oldp-school chrome and nice, deep, casting.



Anyone have any idea what car goes with this emblem? I've searched Chevy and Ford vintage/emblem sites, close, but no cigar.

I'm a Hudson Terraplane guy but recently found a 1952 F1 in a barn of a great uncle who pasted away. It was a farm truck and has some serious rust but looks to be salvagable. Has a V8 engine. Was last on the road in 2002. Any ideas on the value? Thanks for any help.

- Are washer fluid lines the same as vacuum hoses?

- What type of radiator fluid?

- What auto-trans fluid?

- What size battery?

- How many quarts of oil and what kind of oil filter?

- Do I need to use a lead additive to the gas I use?

- Do I need to remove the ethanol?

Does anyone know where to look for a used/rebuilt transmission for this year? I think I need a toploader and I see where they had 24" with 26 splines for this model, but I don't know much beyond that. I'm not overly concerned with the right mounts and brackets or the clutch hardware, etc. because I'm sure I can find those items either off junkers or new. But the right transmission is essential to having a starting point for all this.

Does anyone know where to start looking for one? If possible, does anyone know what model number the 4-speed versions of these transmissions are?]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/129838/1965-ford-falcon-4-door-help-please Sun, 25 Jul 2010 07:02:48 +0000 129838@/forum/discussions


If anyone could recommend where to begin or what else it could be, please do help. We're intending to start around sun-up (in 3-4 hours) though it may be later. Thus far between our intuition and other people's opinions it could be vacuum system failure (how can WE test for that without a mechanic?), fuel pump, carbuerator, thermostat, fuel filter or timing could be off. We know she needs an exhaust system but as of now we're not certain that could be causing stalling, could it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!



Thank you very much,

I put some pictures up on my site and would appreciate any guess as to what it's worth. He says the body is overall straight, but it looks pretty damn rusty, so I'm sure he doesn't have his hopes up lol. Thanks!

The gas has been in there about five years.

I have just purchased a 32 ford sedan. Most of the wiring is gone. I plan to rewire it and an hoping that someone can tell me what amp fuse goes in the fuse block. There was none in it when I got it. I'm sure it isn't very high amps, but after I rewire it I want to besure and have the right one in place.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

One question I have though is where is the best source for replacement seat covers? I know Dearborn Classic sells them but does anybody have any experience with the quality from there?

Everything else on the car is fine. It belonged to my mother and grandmother before her so it is completely original. 70K original miles.

Newb here with some basic cartaking questions. My uncle has left me in the care of what was once my grandfather's prized 54 Capri. Still runs incredibly well and I'd like to keep it that way until such time that I decide to leave it to my nephews when I leave this world.



Here's grampa's baby. I make so-so cash and would appreciate any basic tips on care and maybe restoring a few things like the chrome on the door handles.

I'm looking for a 12v windshield wiper motor kit for a 1941 Lincoln.

I already contacted Bob Drake and this product is in eternal back order.

Need help.

OldCar Mechanic, I finally got my 55 Victoria almost finished, remember the purple and white combination questions we talked about. Well I went from a purple bottom and white top to the more normal purple bottom,white in the middle and purple top. It looks better this way in my opinion. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
