The Dude Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 So here it is. The discussion thread for my Mustang, some work has been done and I'll add the updates as and when I can. Cons It doesn't run. Some of the floor is missing It has drum front brakes The interior has disintergrated its in America. Pro's I love it It was seriously cheap it has only had two owners genuine 58,000 miles its a desert car, so no major rot. its a 1 of 1 car, the only Mustang built with the trim colour, body colour combo and has a really extensive and weird option list. Help/advice/spam all welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Please please please tell me you have hair and leather driving gloves... Err yes and yes! Ok confession time, I'm a film tragic, Elenore, yep the real one has been a favorite of mine for a long, long time. Mine is originally a 73 Sports roof in Bright yellow, exactly like the real one (the real one was a 71, disguised like a 73. mines a real 73, disguised like a 71 dressed up as a 73, mind blown? Eventually it will become a true Elenore, it was bought new from Friendly Ford in Fresno so its pretty close to where Halicki bought (stole if you believe the legend!!!!) His. I'm loving the Matt Black at the moment, so it will be staying like that for a while, it has gained some spoilers and stuff at the moment, but eventually it will probably go back to Yellow, and become a proper Elenore clone. Currently running an exciting 2v 302, but much hotness coming that way soon. I'll up date some of the progress on it soon. Vince it might look a little bit like a 120y coupe, but I like them too Maybe a little bit like a matt black Mitsi Coupe too come to think of it. Tom, you will always read these posts in my voice from now on, its unavoidable, because I write exactly like I speak. Mad max fans, if you think this is cool, you wait till you see my Armored Post Apocalyptic ZG Fairlane build!!!! Thanks for the kind words guys, it gives me much happiness to have some oldschool approval 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nustad Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 This shape is only getting better with age - especially it it kept clean simple with a bit of low. Keep the rat look! No spoilers! Just low and go. I want! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browndog Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Cool, a much nicer looking car than that "Grande" You said it is a 302 2V? Must be a Windsor then????? I though these were all Cleveland or big block engined. Daisy wheels are cool too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 302 2v is probably cleveland? my limited knowledge of fords is that the 2v and 4v were the different heads for the cleveland motor small port and big port. there is definitely such thing as a cleveland 302 anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 ok so not in the mustang then. but if its a windsor its not a 2v then?

But was an Australian engine only,(XW - XE Falcons) and not built or used in US market. Shame on Ford, confusing us by producing two V8s in the same capacities, and then Australianising one of them to boot. Can never remember which is which... Big difference to look at, Cleveland is about 100mm wider!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
