I bought a new mustang!

[HEMI6point1]

Here you go....

I think they screwed up my order at the factory. Look at those panel gaps!

Sadly, the car's a bit too small for me.

Sam, got a red one on my nightstand... and a black one parked out front... the red one doesn't need tires as often

Dude, you got me good. I was already jealous.

I have a few, most are '67's & 70's. I'm looking at my beautiful Yellow Boss 302 sitting on top of my television now. I'm a sucker for Mustang diecast. Hopefully one day soon I'll be able afford an already restored Boss 351 Cleveland & a brand new Shelby that I can drive around the block.

Oh yeah, I also want another '94 GT (which I use to have & foolishly traded in), a couple or 4 or 5 Fox bodies, a classic 64 1/2, a '67 Shelby, '71/'72 Mach 1, any Roush 'Stang, a '63 convertible Falcon, a '69 Farlaine Cobra, a 63/64 Ranchero, a '68 Ranchero, a 60 something Galaxie, a... heck I need to win Powerball or something. I really don't want much...

Naz, Sam

What I really want is a BOSS429... Heck, I just want the SHOTGUN with a C6 behind it, and I'd love to shoehorn it into a Mustang II...

OOOHhhhh those are awesome pieces, aren't they? True story: In 1985 I got a 1970 Fastback for my High School Graduation present. The car was perfectly painted cherry red, interior all black. It had a 289 in it. PLENTY of power for a 18 year old kid, right? But my Dad at the time was still into racing... so he found a Boss 429 motor at a swap meet in Pontiac Michigan..... which he also bored out & hopped up. Holy Crap; that was basically a race car with a nice interior & a license plate. I still say to this day my Dad shoulda' been charged with child abuse!!!!! thinking back, who in thier right mind would give that beast to a teenager as an everyday driver?That firckin car was outrageous. At 18 years old...... I went through 3 sets of rear tires on that thing. It was a very nice car though. And fun as hell. To this day I judge any car I drive based upon that friggin monster.

Now that was sweet! What ever happened to it?

Ahh, thinking of a BOSS429, or any Boss, just makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside.
...shoehorned into a Mustang II, that'd be interesting.

LOL, I'm glad I was drinking anything Bullard.

It's kind of a funky shot, but here's my Stang:

Tom, I was wondering when you would stumble on this thread?

 

[Nazgul]

John Brown!! That's a beautiful car Tom!!!! What's under the hood (you may have told me before, if so I've forgotten ). Man, that's one sweet ride! Thanks for showing it to us.

Thanks, Vince! The shortblock is a stock 1998 4.6 litre SOHC Ford. The heads and intake are from a 2000 model. Ford made major changes in the 99-04 heads (better flow, smaller combustion chambers) and when bolted on the 96-98 block yields a nice compression bump. Beyond that I've got nearly every bolt-on, Bassani exhaust, 31-spline Mosers, 4.30's, etc., etc., etc. I'll see if I can dig up a little cleaner shot of it with the street wheels.

Nice. How often is it driven... daily?

For the last 3 years it's spent most of it's life in the garage but I'm going to put it back into service here in a couple of weeks when the Expy sells. So, the back seat is going back in, baffles going back into the exhaust, etc., etc.
