I am getting as bad as some of you 63 Fairlane,79 Camaro,rail buggy and now.if nothing goes wrong before I take possession Monday morning a 70 Mach1.Along with the Ranger and the Super Duty.I did get rid of the v8 S10 though.
The preliminary plan is a 9 second street/strip beater.BB stroker/C4.All go no show. We will see just how THAT goes. It is pretty rough all over more than anywhere else.I hope it is so bad that I just leave it instead of fixing it up.It has a built 351M/C6 in it now.Says the engine has about 10,000 on it.I am going into it like it is has froze and busted.
small pics for the dial up people.

Nasty old car!

Have I told you lately you suck? Always wanted a '70 Sportsroof for a race/street car. Looks like a fun project

A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.

I'm thinking Boss 302 clone, at least in body. Now Doug, I've seen yer Fairlane and there ain't no way in hades that yer gonna settle for an "all go, no show"...Have fun!!

My recently acquired KY roots say....YYYYYAAAAAHHOOOOOOOO!! Kick that bitch!

WOW! Not a bad piece of future there!

I'm currently trying to grab a 1968 Mustang Fastback GT-350, not that they made a '68 gt-350 fastback that I know of, but the painted stripes and the GT-350 are on it... Along with the rear wheel wells all fiberglassed up and flarishly ugly...

Looks like a good project to me.
If you change your mind, and decide to make 'er purty, feel free to drop 'er off.



Richard :D

I second Doug Couch's advice, a Boss 302 clone would be cool!

I recall you mentioned it had a 351M before, and thought it was a typo! Why would someone build a 351M for a race car? Keep me in mind if you stumble across another fastback.

I see the vision...............

Thats going to be bad!

Current rides,

07 Shelby Gt, Black, 5 speed.

I've heard that the '70 FB is hard to find and, of course, very desirable. Congrats on the find and good luck on the build. Anyway you chose to go will be right.

GT300TD

Got it home,have not had the chance to even look at it though.On another note this guy also has a 68 Charger R/T 440,auto. It is in better shape,has new quarters,floors etc in it, but it is in pieces.He is thinking about a price on it.

Those are wicked cool!

...and build a down and dirty racer/street killer from that '70 as you were thinking, Doug. At any show/cruise that I attend, there are so many cloned,  restored or resto-modded pre '71 Mustangs that  I walk past most without paying much attention. But that one, primered door, tacky body and all would draw me right in. Knowing your perchant for building FAST...your Fairlane is one of the quickest streetable cars that I've ridden in, that 'Stang with a Stroker Big block would be beyond awesome! I say..Go with your original plan..

Love it!  I like the "more Road Warrior and less Barrettt Jackson" idea, but you know the first time you have to order some shiny trim piece or something all bets are off.  "Well damn, I might as well just go ahead and . . ."

Be ready, guys worship you, women adore you, and you pay 5 times as much for parts as the 65 guys!

However, its 1/5th of what the 71-73 guys pay for resto stuff

That car cries for a 557, go big, go crazy with heads, and think 4 digit HP not three like us lowly FE guys

Looks like a fun project, a lot nicer than what mine started with, looks like it will be a solid base

- 71 F100 Ranger XLT shortbed 4x4, 397 cid FE, headers, Street Dominator, 280H, 5 lug Dana 60 rear, 4.56's, 4 speed

I have just what it needs...
