1965 Mustang 2+2 289 A code,cobra intake, tri-y headers flowmaster exhaust, 5 speed transmission, 9" rear end,factory front disc brakes and 17" wheels. When I brought this car home, everyone thought I was nuts. It had no motor or tranny. It had a fiberglass front clip and rear fender flares, and everything was wired with one roll of red wire (uuuggg!) and stripped of most anything inside to reduce weight. This ex-drag car ended up being a 5 year project. I did most of the restoration myself, except for the final body prep before the paint. Original color for this car was Prairie Bronze, which my wife vetoed right away. We have an original 64 Fairlane Sport Coupe that color which has been in the family since it was new, and it is not her favorite color! ha ha. First time I saw a 2+2, I was 10 years old. A friend of my father's had just purchased one and brought it over to show him. Guess what color it was? Black... I knew then that some day I wanted a black 1965 2+2

very nice looking stang! When you say you live in washington, do you mean state? If it's washington, you're actually a little bit close to where I live since I live in BC

Cool, anywhere near the Canadian border?

BlackShadow · « **Reply #4 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:08:43 PM »

Near Spokane... Do you know the Grand National mustang show will be in Bellevue, I hope to make it there this summer?

What side of BC are you on east or west?

I live like 10 minutes from the US border in Abbotsford. that's about an hour or so out of Vancouver, so west.
Oddly enough, although I have lived 10 min from the US for over 20 years I have NEVER been there!
If I get my passport, maybe I'll come down there in the summer.

It's my job to keep you guys on topic. We have other sections to bullshit.

This might be in the wrong spot but if it is Soaring, I guess just delete because I'm not sure where I can post.
Anyways I have 3 sons each have a mustang so we are a mustang family. Sometime my wife goes crazy with all the car talk but she a good sport most of the time she will even go to car shows now.... haha

Perfect spot Black. This is a Mustang discussion site. You are discussing Mustangs and you have quite an array in your corral. Beautiful cars.

BlackShadow · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2010, 04:36:52 PM »

Well my son just had to have another stang. He bought a 2006 GT last weekend with 20k on it.. seem to be a very nice ride

Soaring · « **Reply #17 on:** January 30, 2010, 05:13:02 PM »

Why a vert? I have never understood the reasoning behind buying a vert. Nice looking Mustang though.

BlackShadow · « **Reply #18 on:** January 30, 2010, 07:40:44 PM »

Why is a good Question. But they are fun in the summer a round our area anyway maybe not down your way with all the heat.

Right now, it's colder than a mofo here in Texas.
