*Keep in mind that we were not trying to get the motor up and running yet. We just wanted to see if it was locked up. Parts need to be replaced, things need to be flushed, etc... It was just nice to find out that it hadn't been sitting with no fluids in it. It might have been a bad idea to see if it would even just turn over, but hopefully everything will be ok. Some VERY exciting episodes coming up real soon!*

Spinning free. Good. Keep the motor sealed best you can when you aren't working in it. Drop the old oil.and filter. Refill with decent oil that you can sacrifice. Make sure cooling system is water tight look at the water pump. Probably boil and reseal that radiator. Like the others have said. Create a remote fuel tank with a short line to the carb. Use temporary electric pump.. carb needs to be rebuilt guaranteed. Check trans fluid (probably a c6. Good unit) levels. Always look at your fluids. Color, smell, possible sediment. Get the carpet out now. Ugh trash it. Dry out the interior best you can. Thoroughly scrub everything and spray rust killer where needed. Get your weather seals in order. Make the car weather tight. Too many thoughts to list. But thinking... manuals. Vintage manuals. Motors is a very good manual. Powerwash that undercarriage also. You need to remove any dirt or mud or anything that can lay against that metal and continue the rusting process and that goes for the interior and the exterior you need to get that thing as dried out as you can try to get it undercover if possible or into a garage

A couple of things I found concerning here: Jumping right into cranking the starter.. you always want to see how free the engine is by hand, you could have done some damage here already. While you still can, put some ATF down the spark plug holes and at least give those cylinder walls a chance. This will also help to free up your rings. I would also vacuum out that entire engine bay, there are a number of things just waiting to drop down your intake manifold. That is a foot vent, air from the fender well area. I look forward to seeing how this progresses. Good luck!

Hey Young-blood... I can feel your excitement, and that makes me so excited for you. I'm just an old man and not an expert - just been around cars all my life. Your brother seems to be doing fine. Yes, as another guy stated it would be good to pull the plugs and get some oil in the cylinders before initial crank and it still cant hurt to do it now. When it last stopped running, some of the valves were open on any given cylinder, so there's a potential for some rust in a few cylinders. But maybe not much. That's why I agree that it would be good to get some oil in the cylinders. Anything with an aerosol nozzle to really coat the walls as best u can. Let it soak in. And what the heck if your gonna go through the motor anyway...Pull the carb off and clean it.... check if there's trans fluid - top off the water get rid of the the thermostat and or replace it and see if it'll start. I think your gonna try and start it anyway. LOL. I sold all of my Mustang leftovers years ago. I would encourage anyone else reading and watching this to donate any spare parts they might have that he needs. A decent carb and radiator would be a great place to start. And lastly Young-blood. People are going to tell you all kinds of stuff like "keep this car #'s matching or go with a big block" - or what ever. It's my personal opinion that it has degraded enough - that it'll never be a show car anyway. Not without a ton money to throw at it. But it can still be a very clean ride even on a budget. Which is where I think your at. No disrespect intended. I think you and your brother are very nice and I wish you all the best. So... YOU build it however YOU want it to be. Stock or not, make it your own! All of that #'s matching stuff people are always bragging about doesn't really mean anything unless it's an ultra rare package ( not sure yours is) or if it's still in ultra mint condition. (we know it's not) I await your next installment of the "Saga of the Fastback" with great eagerness. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

That engine will run ok. Don't worry about it so much. If the car needs a lot of rust repair and body work, that is a long hard job. Building a body and restoring all the systems to a usable state can take a year. Changing an engine and trans can be done in a day. If you can get the engine running, set it aside and work on the body. It needs floor pans and I suspect a trunk floor at minimum. Rustangs commonly need torque box and frame rail work. I am 58 and have been working on cars of this era since I was 16. I can tell you it is real depressing to have a nice shiny rebuilt engine on a stand and a rusted out shell that will take months of work before you can ever put that engine in it.

My suggestion is to send the VIN off to Marti Auto works to get all the info the car came as. You can get a basic report for like 20 bucks and it’ll at least tell you how it left the factory and with what options. All the way to spending the money to find out how many of your Mustang was actually produced. That’s a great place to start if looking to restore back to how it left the factory. Looks to be it was originally Acapulco blue judging from the door center as not a lot of people would take the time to paint behind the door panel when the changed it to yellow at some point. Also, there are a ton of great vendors out there that sell aftermarket and original parts for these cars. I personally have always used National parts depot or Scott Drake (although more pricey it’s overall a great place) Best advice when tackling any restoration is to be thorough, take lots of pictures. Take your time and most of all have fun. I have restored two of these old girls to concours restoration. My first was a 67 Silver Frost GTA Coupe and the second and what I still own today is a 68 California Special Mustang that happens to be a one of one in a small sea of cal specials running around. I don’t know a whole lot on Mach 1’s but check the internet out. That’s always a great resource. Holy cow long post 😳

Tech tip. Start with checking inside of intake and carb opening. Make sure move and stuff are not in there prior to messing with throttle or spinning over. You don't want junk falling in motor. The vent is just foot vents that come in from the cowl area. Should be one on driver's side also. They had them in both ac and non AC cars. Cylinders need soaking as you can hear in the slow turn over. Cleveland is a good motor and might be a runner with some work

Before you try to start it again, get a fuel can and run a electric fuel from it to the carb. You don't want the old gas in the line and in the tank going thru the system. Once there cleaned out you can go back to them. Need to make sure your getting spark at the end of the spark plug. A carb kit would help.

A single point distributor was stock as is the Autolite 4 barrel carburetor model 4300 on it. Optional Power Disc Brakes on the car also. Wrong air cleaner lid. Maybe it had a shaker ram air early in it's life and the hood got replaced too. The shifter doesn't look like the correct year and the console is missing of it was a factory Mach 1. Look at the dash vin tag for the 3rd and 4th digits. 05 is Mach1. 02 is Sportsroof or fastback as commonly called. Great find! It will want premium fuel as high as octane you can get and a strong batter and large cables to get cranking good with that compression. But she will run! 300 hp stock and 350 hp with a different manifold, carb and some speed tuning. But carefully rebuild it before running it too hard would be best. My first car a '70 Mach 1 had that engine with a close ratio 4 speed. Very fun! Good luck!

The vent in the inside of the car is for allowing fresh air to come inside. You can push and pull the slide to open and close the vent. Definitely rebuild the 351, it was one hell of an engine!

The vent by the side panel where your feet go is simply a vent that let's outside air in to circulate through the car. I have a 69 Mach 1 and there is that vent slide on both sides of the car. Actually feels like cooler air coming in as you drive.

That is your manual vent for air as you drive down the road

Huge suggestion is to get some cans of seafoam deepcreep spray. Spray all rusted bolts, cables etc with it and let soak. Will be a life saver..trust me...my husband sweara by the stuff. Also get a bottle or 2 of ap 205..its a clear polymer liquid that you pour into a small spray bottle and mist everything rubber with it. It will bring all old dry,cracked rubber back to life...again its a huge life saver as well as save ya $. Costs around 12-14$ a bottle but sooo worth it.

A great start. new spark and carb tune up and she will run for sure. Don't be shy about asking basic questions on camera because a lot of people learn from stuff like that. I look forward to watching this series.

I'm definitely not afraid to ask questions, or "sound dumb." I've received a few comments mocking my car knowledge, but they only fuel the fire. I'm ready and willing to learn. I just wanna enjoy the process restoring my dads old car and document the entire thing here on KZitem. Hopefully we can look back one day and be like, wow... this is where it all started.

@@MyLife31 right on. those are the questions I had to ask my Dad so many years ago rebuilding my first cars. A lot of people will benefit from the questions. Ignore the debbie downers. I so look forward to seeing you drive your Dads car again.

Cool car, good luck. I like the format, that your brother is the expert, that it's your car. One product I love against rust and to preserve patina is Ballistol. It's a natural oil used to clean guns primarily.

Definitely a 351Cleveland, and luckily it is a 4 barrel engine. Note- on the corner of the heads, closest to the intake the number 4, indicates 4V heads, a whole different animal than a 2barrel 351C. Also note, the aircleaner lid says 351-2V which tricks people to think its just a 2barrel carb(which was common), about 250hp, while the 4V motor is 300hp stock(depending on alot of factors, but capable of alot of Horsepower) Congratulations!

5:43 Floor vent to open the flap and let outside air into the slots on that panel. I have a 1970 Z28 and I had 2 pull knobs, one for the floor and the other for the corner dash vent. They are the same on the drivers side as well. A friend of mine and his brother both had Mustangs, one had a 1968 Boss 302 and the other was a 1970 Mach 1 with a 428 Cobra Jet engine. Both were 4 speed cars. Seafoam and Marvel Mystery Oil will be your friends in the engine. Do a compression test once you get it running then do a leak down test. I would remove 1 spark plug then connect it to the same plug wire and hold the metal part of the spark plug where a socket would go and hold it on metal near by and crank the engine. If you have spark then it should fire up with a strong battery, if not then the points could need to be set and a new condenser may be needed. When starting the car from under the hood, connect the booster pack or battery to the + and - battery cables. Then using a screwdriver at the starter solenoid, short out the starter cable and battery cable posts at the solenoid with the screwdriver.

69 Winsor, 70 is the Cleveland. I got the 69 with the Winsor. Hang in there and don't give up. Mine was a long road, but its worth it.
