Welcome. That car looks like could probably be saved, but as pointed out, it's going to take a lot of work and money. I'd offer less than $10K, since there's no drivetrain and nearly all the sheet metal is bad. As mentioned above, confirm it' what it's advertised to be, not all fastbacks are Mach 1's. It sounds like you've got the right attitude, it's gotta be a labor of love because you will end up upside down on the money and time invested but it can be rewarding if you end up with an old Mustang you enjoy. Not trying to discourage you but go in with your eyes open and know it's going to be a long haul.

LOL, thanks Bob. I've cancelled my next three birthdays so that should slow down the aging a little bit. :)

I retired earlier this year and have the same problem with being busy :) As for the site, there is a software update needed to bring things back to top performance but it seems to have lost momentum.

Yeah, it's a trend. Went to a small local show last August and there was a whole row of late model Mustangs and a few modern hemi's. Some very nice (and very expensive) but not my thing, at least at a cruise-in. I like built over bought, like the old-timer with the flathead-powered deuce that was there.

Awesome, I remember going through the same search.

West Coast Classic Cougar sells what you are looking for. If the link below doesn't work, the assembly is called "Fuse Block Accessory Wire and Bus Bar" There is also a switch on the e-brake pedal that I assume you already have. https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/18740/32804/fuse-block-accessory-wire-and-buss-bar-rapro-1969-1973-mercury-cougar-1969-1973-ford-mustang.html

There is an auxiliary post on the fuse block that accepts a yellow pigtail, about 6" long. This is what the brake light bullet connector plugs into for power. Most Mustangs did not need the aux power and did not receive the yellow pigtail, so you'll have to source one or improvise. I thought I had pictures but I can't find any, I'll see if I can dig anything up.

It's a never-ending battle, the bots come back every day, sometimes more that once. We need the forum software upgrade - that should kill the bots and allow the site to be secure again which should fix the "unsafe" warnings and let the "like" feature work again.

Thanks, Ben that sounds like a good plan. Hope everything goes smoothly.

Ok, I misunderstood. I will look at my factory original bow tomorrow. I would assume the strip was glued into the bow but I'm probably wrong.

I still use the OEM which is soft and accepts staples readily. I would expect the replacement to be soft and accept staples like the original, certainly not metal. The front strip was toast on my car and I used a length of plastic body side molding that they sell at any auto parts store and it works well. I see West Coast Cougars sells something similar for the back, you may want to look into a section that? I would assume it's a good size to fit in the rear bow and it's cheap. https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/store/p/13541-Convertible-Rear-Bow-Tack-Strip-BY-THE-FOOT-Repro-1969-1973-Mercury-Cougar-1967-1973-Ford-Mustang.html?srsltid=AfmBOorJr3zqFjs0TQOo6nIBbKcf1dUDXWACH_508LDzTinWagj1aGk1SYU

Google tells me Northwest Mustang is now called Classic LEDs (classicleds.com). I'd probably try to contact them to see if they can replace the flasher. That might also explain your tail light issues.

It might be possible but only @bswor has the super-powers needed to do it.

Welcome back!. Been lusting after one of those lifts myself.:)

Did we forget to lock the back door again?
