Q: Where can I hire a classic ford mustang in Los Angeles?
My husband and I are visting Los Angeles in December and he wants to hire a classic mustang so we can drive to Las Vegas for a few days. Any suggestions where we can hire one from? Thanks!

Q: What is the best looking classic Ford Mustang out there?
I want to get a classic Mustang but I am trying to figure out what model year looks the best.

A: The 69 fast back. Great looking and stronger suspension than previous years, Do alot of research B4 you buy. Mustangs are a car that can look great but be ready to crack open like an egg from rust. Find a Mustang shop in your area and stop in. Ask where to look for rust. I took an Ice-Pick to look at a 67 cause they can rust under the carpet at the doors. Thats not just the floor but the top half of the frame-tunnel. You cant see it from under and the carpet covers it up. There are lots of places to check so ask that shop. Take a magnet as well.

Q: What is the modern equivalent of a classic Ford Mustang?
30-40 years from now, what model car do you think will be similar to how we treat old Mustangs.
If I had a Mustang that was in great shape and and an awesome paint job, that would be extremely awesome. In the future, will a BMW 3 series or a Audi? Or any other car?

Thanks for your input.

A: Any car over a certain age is classic, that is why states do not discriminate between models when applying for a classic/antique/historic license/etc.. Once it hits a certain age, they are ALL classics. Beyond that, desirable models will still be low production number vehicles. I had a 1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen which had less than 500 cars with my options produced. THAT would be a classic/collector car today(as it already is) but it will all depend upon the market. The mustang is a "classic" "collectible" to a majority of the U.S. becomes a LARGE portion of the populace above the age of 30 had 1 or more in their family growing up. Owning one now brings back feelings of nostalgia. My 1973 Toyota Corolla has a very specific market(that is only getting smaller) that will only increase its value exponentially in the future. Does everyone want a 37 year old Toyota? No. Do I? Yes. It is all personal opinion.

Hope this helps, Good Luck!

Q: What would make a good classic Ford Mustang Gift?
I need to think of a holiday gift for my dad and I am not quite sure what to get him. He has a rare 1973 mustang 351 that is red in color. I kind of want my gift to have to do with his car or at least mustangs in general. I have looked around for a die cast car of his but they do not make that specific car, only the mach 1. If anyone could help me come up with an idea based around that I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

A: if you take a photo and put it on webshots, they have lots of gifts made with the photo of your choice..

How about a T-shirt with his car on it....

Q: Do you love the classic 1969 ford mustang and why?
If you love the 1969 ford mustang tell me why and if you have one tell me what it looks like. If you dont have one then tell me what your mustang would look like if you had one. The best answer will get 10 points.

A: I love the 1969 Mustang the most out of all of the Mustang models that is the year that still had the style of the 1st 2 generations but was the size of a full-size muscle car not the little pony car it started out to be. If I were to get one I would paint it a candy black with 3 stripes following the curve of the body their colors in order would be White, Silver, Dark Grey. It would have a low profile Aero hood scoop which would feed the monster of an engine a 514. It would have a 2-tone leather interior that is black and white and a license plate border that said "Here Hemi Hemi"

Q: Does anybody here have or ever had a classic ford mustang?

A: not me. i really dont care for them. but i love fairlanes.

Q: has anybody got a classic ford mustang for sale ?

A: I have a 67 shelby gt 500. It has a kenne bell supercharger with a 351 in it. I will take $50,000

Q: How much approximatley would it be to buy a Ford Mustang from america and bring it over to Ireland ?
I want to buy one of the classic Ford Mustangs and bring it over since you cant buy them here.

A: I assume you are talking about one of the mustangs produced between 1985-1973. You'd probably be looking at a minimum of $2,500 on top of the cost of the car. If vintage cars aren't excluded from C02 emissions standards, add another 36 percent to the cost of the car.

Q: I am looking for a classic ford mustang (1967-1968 fastback). where do I go to get the best deals in ireland.

A: Not Ireland for a start. Chances are you ain't gonna find one there, and if you do you will pay allot. As you are after a particular year/model your best bet would be to look on the net and import one yourself, this is exactly what i did. It will be cheaper even with the shipping and import duties than anything you can find in Europe. If you don't want to go that route then check out Classic American car magazine.

This website is where i bought my motor. If they havnt got it they will find what your after.

Q: Modern Classic 1965 Ford Mustang GT?
So, I want to buy this 1965 Ford Mustang GT but I also want more power. So, is it anyway possible to replace 1965 engine into modern engine like Shelby Mustang GT 500 supercharged engine? Also, suspension, A.C., gear, and brakes?

Basically, classic looks but modern-tech inside

AND, is there any company that does this? anywhere in US.

A: Probably not. And if you could, for the price of it, you could probably buy a brand new GT500.

Now, you could fit a 428 (which was in the CobraJet) in there. check Ford Racing, got to engine blocks.

Q: where can i find a project mucsle car thats a ford mustang classic i want to fix it and sup it up?

A: Most of my fixer uppers have been found on craigslist or the sunday paper. I would stay away from ebay unless the seller is with in driving distance so you can check out the car.

Q: Classic Ford Mustang Time Commitment?
I've been looking to buy a 1964-1967 Mustang. I see several for sale ads stating that the seller no longer has the time to work on the car. How much time should I expect to "work" on the car? What kind of "work" should I expect to do? Thanks!
To clarify, I am not asking how much time I should expect to work on a specific car. My question is how much should I expect to work on a classic Ford Mustang generally to keep it in good shape. I assume that since multiple sellers are selling because they don't have time to devote to the car, the time commitment would be much more than for my current 2002 model vehicle, which is basically minimal to none. Thanks!

A: Well, it depends on several things:

1.) First, how far do you want to go with the restoration? There is a huge difference in time and money to make a "rough but running" car a "daily driver" vs. a "20-footer" vs. a "true show car." Depending on the model, there's a practical limit to what this car is going to be worth (at each of these restoration tiers) when you're done.

2.) How much rust? If this is surface rust without rot or perforation, a good prep and repaint will do the trick. Pay careful attention to the floorboards (front and rear), the lower lips on the fenders, the lower door edges, the rocker panels and the front and rear fascia under the bumpers. Check underneath, too (exhaust, brake & suspension components & associated mounting points).

3.) Are the engine, transmission and driveline sound? If so, do you intend to keep them stock?

4.) How much work on the inside? Specifically, are the gauges, radio, heater/vent controls, etc. present and working? Glass? Weatherstrips? What needs to be done?

5.) Apart from restoration, how much regular maintenance or mechanical repair needs to be done? Brakes? Wheels/Tires? Craigslist can be your friend for upgraded wheels/tires.

The good news is that, given the popularity of early Mustangs, there are numerous sources for Mustang restoration and performance parts. Start with your local wrecking yard / auto recycler, move on to J C Whitney for general stuff, then to any of the myriad Mustang performance / enthusiast sites on the web.

If you are a decent mechanic and can do paint prep properly, you can cut your costs considerably on a project like this. Years ago, I bought and restored a '63 Falcon (from "rough but running" to "20-footer" status) with my father-in-law. It took 2 years of on-and-off weekend work, lots of trips to the wrecking yard and research in mail-order catalogs and about $3,000, but it was one of the best things we've ever done together.

Good luck!

RESPONSE TO YOUR FOLLOW-UP:

I suspect your sellers are referring to the restoration "work" still to be done, rather than routine maintenance. Following restoration, these cars are really pretty trouble-free. Here's a few thoughts, based on my own experiences (see end of my original post above):

You will need to do oil and filter changes every 3,000 miles (which, BTW, you ought to be doing on your 2002 model as well - check the "harsh conditions" service interval recommendations - you're likely unwittingly driving under "harsh conditions" as defined).

Because you're working with a carbureted / mechanical ignition system on a 64-67, you will need more frequent and extensive tune-ups than with fuel injection and electronic ignition - including periodic adjustment / replacement of plugs, points, condenser and replacement of cap and rotor - every second year or so. You can mitigate this by retrofitting an aftermarket electronic ignition system - many offerings are available for the Mustang.

Some suspension components which are "factory sealed" or not serviceable on newer models have zerk fittings and are meant to be serviced as part of routine oil changes / lubes.

Older transmissions, power steering pumps/boxes, water pumps, alternators, etc. don't really require more service by design, but you should make an effort keep fluids changed and things adjusted in view of the age of these components.

This is the sort of required / preventive maintenance you'd expect with any vehicle of this age, though.

Again, good luck! Sounds like a fun project!
