Vtune back 1975 a local car lot had a 64 1/2 coupe with original black paint & red interior! It had the 260 V8 and 3 sp. manual trans! This Mustang only had 60K showing on the odometer and was dead nuts mint condition throughout! It was $1595 back then witch doesn't seem like anything today but you have to remember I was only making $1 an hour minimum wage washing dishes in a local restaurant! Of all the cars that I ever wanted to purchase & did not that Mustang stands out as the one that got away! I drive a beautiful late model Saleen now days but I still dream about that 64 1/2 once in a while! It was that nice! Good luck on the build I will be watching each episode!

It's definitely a factory 6 cyl car. The fifth # in the VIN will be "T" to confirm this. There is no doubt it was a nice restoration. With that stripped paint job I wouldn't really call it a restoration though. On;y Shelby's had stripes. It's almost inconceivable that the floor pans are all original IF there truly is no rust. Luckily almost every part for those old Mustangs can be bought as reproductions. I'd love to see you put the Styled Steel Wheels that was an option on V8 Mustangs in 1965.

The mods on the engine were the exhaust manifolds, and a 1.5 inch drop of the water pump shaft, due to the Mustang's hood fast slope. It later came the 3.8 L V-6

Love the content. I own a red 64.5 Mustang that I bought a few years ago and have had a great time upgrading things on it. Mine was originally an inline 6 but was swapped to a 302 before I owned it. The reason your front end is likely lower is that the inline 6 springs are not designed for a heavier 289 engine so it will sit lower. This past summer, I replaced the shocks and springs on mine to handle a heavier engine. You likely aren't keeping the original steering components because you are removing the shock towers, but, if you are, you will need to change the tie rods, center link, pitman arm, idler arm, and idler arm bracket because they are different between I6 and V8. You definitely need to change to 5 lugs and a disc brake kit. If I recall, you are limited in options with brake options with a 4-lug.

For a brand new wiring harness Check auto wire and I know cj stocks them also. A brand new harness from front to rear is the best way to go. I've had 20+ of these over the years and their are so many parts that you can build from ground up. I know it's way out of your wheel house but they're really easy to work on. Don't over think it!

More likely he had paper towles out, set them on the crossbar there and while he was doing something they fell into the hole and they didn't realize it. Besides, I thought that the issue was that the car was in an accident and then caught on fire from the accident? I'd expect that if the towels were where the fire started that they would have been burned completely.

I've driven a GT-350, and it's a screaming beast of an engine and would make your build something really special. 2. I've known people that would buy that burnt hood if it's OEM.

Regarding the roof you may want to consider converting to a fastback which would increase the style and value significantly.

Engine for 1965 was a 289......302's didn't get introduced until 1968. their were two 65 Mustang's in my family back in the day they both had 289's. This car could have a 302 check the numbers on the block and heads.

I love the Mustang content. Great work on the video’s. Just a suggestion since you mentioned getting another wrecked check out VEHCOR’s Mustang content he’s been able to get that S550 pretty narrow. I love to see the Fastback on a S550 platform.

Judging by the looks of the wiring and distributer, that was definitely an electrical fire.

Well the wiring is all melted so it looks screwed up. Whatever started it it got to the gas. The fuel pump on old fords is on the engine. So there is a line that comes up from the bottom of the engine right over the valve cover in the front. Often times there is a fuel filter in that line. Perfect spot to leek gas on the engine or header and start a fire.

if you looked close the wires where the paper towels were are really burnt. the fire had to start in that corner. and if the headers got red hot im sure they started the towels on fir and melted the wires which shorted out the system

@@ribbitism umm... no, what I did was shot down the idea that there's irrefutable proof that the fire was caused by the paper towels in that specific corner. With the entire engine bay being burned, some random person in the comments can not 100% guarantee that's where the fire started. Try to sound smart again, bud.

That roll of kitchen towel certainly counts as weird/suspect but could also have been a harmless oversight. At least it gives you an excuse to test out the new Milwaukee tools 😊

Love the new build. Can't you fix the lift? Probably just twist tie like colors where you disconnected the other one and it would come on. Isn't someone you know a electrician? I feel bad you have to lay on the floor.

Burn pattern on top of hood is from the center. Prob. backfire through the carb and caught foam filter on fire. Looks to be a 6 banger conversion to V8 with a late model 302.

dont touch the fire wall . its just burnt paint , its probably ok to replace the top cowl panel , at least when you get it opened up you may be able to make repair sections for inner cowel .. less is best around that area of an early mustang . please dont attack the dash panel ,there is no need, you will only end up with another huge mess .. good luck , phil . sydney

Thats right. The fire dept. had to pry the hood up so they could get the hose in and shut down the fire.
