DeadStang

Yep, saw that it exists again today. Thanks for fixing it -- I use this email all the time for certain forums and LinkedIn!

YAY! Thanks.

Thanks! It's a bummer as I used that email address for quite a bit of stuff including my contact for a bunch of forums and even LinkedIn.

I have had one of these email accounts for many years, but I am no longer able to receive mail there, although I can send it and also use the IM feature to send and receive messages. But I've gotten NO email messages since early August. Has anyone else had one of these accounts and had this happen recently? Thanks.

Send me pictures please (underside, torque boxes/frame rails, trunk drops, interior, exterior, engine compartment, etc), to : DeadStang (at) gmail (dot) com Thanks.

W/O pix, I'd venture a guess of $20K.

Nope, those are '69 seats and to some people, it does make a difference. There were a lot more high backed buckets in 1970, so the '69 models (the lever in the middle of the side, not the bottom) are actually more desirable. If you were closer, I'd buy them as I could use a nice set of '69 seats for my Mach.

Or at least the intake manifold was "upgraded" to 4-V. I also wonder if it can be bought for the Forum price... I sold my very stock M-Code GT for $20K in May. It was a very nice car with more options, and I felt happy to get that price. The eBay price doesn't appear realistic IMO, if the car wouldn't sell for the past year for $22K. I like the white and blue...wish he was interested in trades--I'd like to have this one!

I'd be in for a shirt or sweatshirt if 100% cotton (shirt) and at least an 80% cotton sweatshirt. Don't like polyester stuff. I still have my old '69 Stang shirt.

$15,000

Does it have a title?

The actual cable from the carburetor bracket to the accelerator pedal us usually not the problem. It's the worn-out bushings and such in your carburetor itself. If things aren't too bad, swapping the return spring for a stronger one, or using two, will solve the problem. You can just go to Napa or Schuck's and get a multi-pack of different diameter and length springs for a few $$$, then find one that is a little stronger than the current one to replace it with. I think dieseling can be timing or idle speed.

email sent.

Honestly? It was all I could do to sell my '69 351W Grande for $5,000 6 months ago in the spring (and I had over $7,500 in that thing)...and fall/winter is a harder time to sell. I would guess the car is worth around $4,000. Not good times for getting any return on the $$$ put into old cars, unfortunately.

Got home tonight and the coupe's passenger rear window was 1/2 down...went to roll it up and nothing happened, so I grabbed the top of the glass to "help" it up and the glass came out in my hand. Sigh. For some reason, I never thought about that also being glued in. Good thing it's not going to rain for a few more days!

They are very "fat!" It's too bad that the wheels are so crappy--I'll probably try and figure out the size and back spacing of the wheels and buy a new set. This, of course, after I actually drive this car and make sure they don't rub. I'll have to go to storage and see what size the tires are for you, tho, as I don't know off the top of my head.

OK, I searched and can't find the tire size post. Costco is having a sale and I need to get a set of tires on my green Mach before it goes out for a serious front-end overhaul and final alignment. The set-up is a stock suspension 1969 with the factory 14" chrome styled steel wheels. I am not going to lower the front or modify it in any way. I prefer the fattest tires possible w/o rubbing (obviously), and I like the looks of a tall sidewall, that fills the wheel well but is not freaky looking. No air shocks to jack up the back and increase clearance. Opinions/recommendations so I can order and put this issue to rest (for me at least)? The car I am working on is not the red Mach in my sig pic, which has 15" wheels and the fattest tires I've ever owned on a Mustang. BTW, this red Mustang is dead and waits patiently in my garage to be resurrected.

He won't give you a refund. You'll ultimately end up doing a "charge back" on your credit card (if you used one); if not, good luck getting your money back. He's bad news.

So, what you're saying, is that the 235/60s are actually shorter than 225/70s? I only have the stock chrome styled steel 14" wheels that I going to use.

I looked again--the car I'm talking about has 235/60s all around.

Gosh, $7K for a California Mach with a little floorpan rust...no need to wait for recent pictures! If I hadn't just bought an S-code, I'd buy this sight-unseen. Seems like a heck of a deal?

I like to be able to rotate the tires around... I wonder if the 235s up front would be alright?

I am not that worried about my speedo. How about 235/70s? The 70s are wider than the 60 series, right? I have a hard time understanding what these numbers mean.
