Please help indentifying this Mustang

Hi,

I came across an abandoned Mustang in a scrapyard in the middle of nowhere. I have been searching for a Mustang for a while now and now that I found it, I would like to know what model it is. The guy at the scrapyard says it's a '67 coupe, is that the case? The coupe part is obvious as it has two doors but does the year look right? The part that puzzles me is the rear, it is not a fastback as it has a shorter window but it does not look like all the other coupe's I've seen on the internet either. The rear body panels kinda slopes backward from the roof towards the back. I am in South Africa and maybe the shape was a bit different than the ones in the States?

Your help will be greatly appreciated

Check the tail lights. It is like a 70 Granada Mustang model or something like that.

FX4DTUF · August 29th, 2009, 11:39 AM

that is a 72 body style mustang that shure as damn well aint no 67 lol

nuStang · August 29th, 2009, 11:41 AM

Pretty sure its a 73, but i didnt look at all the models. I knew it had to be later that the guy said because the grill and the lights seem to be together.

FX4DTUF · August 29th, 2009, 11:42 AM

i belive they changed it to that body style in 72

nuStang · August 29th, 2009, 11:49 AM

^ Yea, I looked at those too now, they are really close. When I was searchin i looked at 70s, and then 73s.

Thanks for the quick replies, what engine should I put in there? I would like a manual tranny

FX4DTUF · August 29th, 2009, 12:03 PM

if i was you i would stick a 351 windsor or clevlend in it and if you want a 4 speed it will bolt right up but if you want a 5 speed id get a t5 with a different bell ousing so it will work thats what my uncle did with his 69,70 and 71

Thanks for the info. what is the pro's and con's between the 351 and the 429? And which one will be the best bet if I want to add a supercharger or turbo at a later stage?

FX4DTUF · August 29th, 2009, 02:20 PM

you can make either compatible with a s/c or turbo both are very strong blocks and engines.

In that car, now that we know the year, 302 to 460! The 429 CJ was a great option 71 - 73..

I went to look at the car today and wrote the VIN down. After a quick search on the net I found out that it is a '72, that was build in Dearborn, MI, its a 2 Door Hardtop and it had a 302 2v V8 in it

FX4DTUF · August 30th, 2009, 02:49 PM
