My old 96 2v. I don't have any pics of my earlier Mustangs.



Allen Engineering Roots Style Supercharger, made for a very full engine bay.

My first mustang, a 1967 Mustang FB GTA -- 390 car where later I put a 428 in it. Ran 10.80s. Bought it in 1985 for $3400. Worked as a dishwasher and busboy and saved every penny for 1 1/2 years so I could buy it. I was going to buy a nice 440 6 pack road runner for $4500, but I just couldn't get enough money together to do it.

Look at me as a punk kid, probably 18 or 19 in this picture.

Yeah, sold it as a roller. I painted it blue with white le mans stripes in my garage then was in the mist of building a very high winding 377cid sbf for it, then the shit hit the fan and I had to sell it. :dead2:

It looks like a 4X4 in this pic as the motor and trans was out at the time.

I love nostalgia. The memories you guys seem to have of these things. The stories behind the memories. The potatoes that you guys used to capture the memories.

There's a supercharger under all that shit?

Hah

Yep, that's the top of the intake you see, the blower is mounted in the valley and blows up into the intake, like the new Edelbrock for the 5.0. It was actually a nice little package and about the only thing available for the 2v back then. Ford hadn't released their SVO kit yet. It made for a nice little street car.

No pics of my first Stang...a '65 with 289", auto in the floor.
Bought it when I was 15 yrs. old, almost a full year before I could get a license.
Lived with my granny...she let me back it up/down the driveway until I got the license. LOL
Bought & paid for by ME.

Totaled it not long after I got my license.
OLDDDDD man turned in front of me, in front of a Chevy dealership.
Parked it beside a Vette.
LOL

OH...old man was at fault.

My throwback only goes a couple years back unfortunately.

Day I bought it. - Don't worry the Tri-bars only lasted about 30 minutes once I got it home.



A couple months before I sold it to get into the GT500

I am actually glad I don't have a picture of my first Mustang. It was one of the worst ever built. 1974 Mustang II - Mach 1 with a V6 5 speed. At the time I thought it was pretty cool with Cragar SS's & 9.5 inch wide BFG Radial T/A's on the back.
