Ok, I'm looking for a 1969 Mustang Fastback....with possibly no title....because I found out a guy who bought one of my dad's 1969 Mustang Mach 1's kept the title and door and all the tags. He is willing to give it to us. but the only hard part is now finding a good 1969 Mustang to start with, I don't wanna have to shell out 14K for a Dynacorn chassis, but we might have to.

So anyway here is the options my dad remembers

351W

Auto

No fold down rear seat

Royal Maroon

No louvers

Spoiler(?)

AM/FM

Center Console

Kinda Something like this even those wheels. No mag 500's

I'm looking in the STL area mostly and a little around OKC, Springfield MO, ALL OF ILLINOIS, and Bits of Texas.....

Anyone wanna help me out?

Ok I have no clue why you need something so specific. Titles usually only name the make, model and year of a vehicle, unless I am not getting something...

"... kept the title and door and all the tags"

So why did you save those particular parts?

Not close, but you're kinda reachin' here :/

Different plan:

If you're starting with a 'project'ish car, you're going to do some work.

While you're doing all this work, replace the front clip of a '70 with a '69. Should take between $700-$900 >_>

and such.

needs to be a fastback

Cherry_man1 > StoneCold
07/06/2014 at 11:22

there is a lot more work in making a 70 into a 69 because you need to put in the side scoop and redo the tail lights and other various things

Cherry_man1 > Jeff-God-of-Biscuits
07/06/2014 at 11:23

I mean it say door tag, he saved all the ID tags

StoneCold > Cherry_man1
07/06/2014 at 11:42

Ah, so it has to be more on the stocky side. Well that ain't fun ;p

Well, you're going to be waiting awhile then, I suppose.

Cherry_man1 > StoneCold
07/06/2014 at 13:45

Maybe, but who knows. Only reason I wanna do it that way is because thats the way my dad had it.

Not bad but those are all complete cars.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1
07/06/2014 at 13:47

Oh...Were you looking for parts cars?

Cherry_man1 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
07/06/2014 at 13:52

Ya I really need a donor car but those are great examples of complete cars! I am looking to resurrect my dads car.

StoneCold > Cherry_man1
07/06/2014 at 13:54

On a more serious note, that one in Gilmer, Texas that PeterVN posted is pretty much spot on. You could sell the 4-speed for $800-$1000 and buy a C4 for $200 or an FMX for $100ish.

Rebuilt title, but some tag swapping takes care of that. Are there inspections in your state?

COOL BEANS! Good luck sir! :D

I assume you've got a base to start with?

07/06/2014 at 14:00

Depending on the city my current one doesnt require it.

Cherry_man1 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
07/06/2014 at 14:02

Thats what i'm looking for ^^; we are about to acquire the tags from the third owner...who sent the original one to the scraper....because when he went to restore it my dad had taken the engine out and put it in another car and sold the roller body

Cherry_man1 > StoneCold
07/06/2014 at 14:03

Also that one is in my current list I have up lol!

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1
07/06/2014 at 14:03

I see...This is a harder search than I thought.

Cherry_man1 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
07/06/2014 at 14:05

Well I don;t wanna have to buy a Dynacorn chassis but I may have to....but so damn expensive and that means the torino will be going bye bye so I can have the money to buy the car...

Tragic. :(
