Got a 69!

Grabber523 · April 15th, 2008, 10:02 AM

I purchased a 69 Mustang Grande for $2500 this weekend, got big plans to restomod. The body's pretty clean and the original 302 and tranny combo run strong but aren't staying in it. It needs a full interior and pretty much completely re-wired, but I can do most of the work myself. I have a small-block 427 picked out already, looking to do an auto to 5 or 6-speed manual swap. If you guys have any good restoration websites (I already have a ton of stuff I'll be getting from ebay and Year One), pointers or suggestions to find little stuff like trim, walnut wood grain pieces, knobs, switches, wiring harnesses, manual tranny clutch pedal brackets, full A/C systems, 4-corner coil-over conversions, etc, it would be appreciated. Also, I don't know if they make a set of seat rails that will bolt up to a set of 2005+ seats. Anyone seen anything like this? Sorry for such a long post, I'm just real excited. Pics will be posted as soon as I can...no photobucket access at work.

This is the only one I got so far...still have to go pick it up. Should have more up tomorow, especially of the interior (or lack thereof).

A 351W bored and stroked out to 427 is still a small block...Still gotta get those pics taken and posted...

Due to a lack of good (above freezing) weather, the photos took a little longer than planned...this is the 2nd nice day we've had all spring.

Here you go:

Had to throw a couple of my other baby in there. As you can see it needs a little work, but it runs and drives...starts the first time every time. Just can't take it out in the rain cuz the windows don't roll up yet!
