Very interesting and cool. I've seen many, many SSPs that were turned into race cars and personally I have no problem with those that were converted back in the day. People have to remember that when most of these cars came out of service there was little to no appreciation for preserving them, they were just cheap and easy speed to be used as daily drivers (and beaters!) and racers. However, I would generally oppose most conversions nowdays, esp. with certain rare models that have preservation potential.

Post up more photos when you get the decals installed.

Interesting car! Is there any chance you could post a picture of the VIN label on the driver's door? I would love to add it to our VIN Project.

I will post the VIN number when I get a chance, it is in the car trailer with a 4 foot snow drift in front of it from Saturdays storm. I will have it out by next weekend.

You should bring the car to Thunderhill in Willows California. They have a Mustang day there once a year I believe. ( www.thunderhill.com )
Check their website.
It's a pretty cool road coarse.

Default Almost Done!!!!

Back in March I posted pictures of a Mustang that I was going to rebuild, It is finally done, well 98% done, I have a few things left to do and off to the race track. I set the car up so I could change spring rate and go to the road course one weekend and the drag strip the next. The motor is a healthy 306 and has plenty of power for the road course and I have a 150 shot of NOS for the drag strip.
