unfrozen1969

It has been a long time since I have posted anything, but I would have to agree with you 100%. I still have parts that I need to get rid of soon.

Sorry for not having posted in a while guys. The show is suppose to air Monday Nov 5th, but it appears to be on a pay per view discovery channel. I have tried to find some online episodes from the UK but no luck. If someone finds one, can they post a link. Thanks Bill

I will always have the desire to own a 69 stang again, especially a fastback, but for the next five years or so, it probably won't be in the cards. I will always keep my eyes open for a parts car though, it is still fun to tear the cars apart without worrying about having to put them back together.

Ya know, I love the 69 Mustang, but for me it was about recognizing my limitations and the reality of ever getting to enjoy my ride. Also add the fact that I will have two kids entering University in two years, the reality of finishing this car seemed endless. Aside from the space the car took tp, as well as all of the parts. So I discussed this with my wife and put it on kijiji to sell. I had a few guys low ball me, and then I got a call from the producer of the show. He explained that it is a BBC production through the History channel, and they are rebuilding six cars, a porsche, MG, jaguar, a Cadillac and my Mustang, I can't recall the sixth car. The Mustang will eventually be shipped to the Uk for auction. They gave me a respectible price, and I think they liked that I was Mustang guy, with two cats named Boss and Shelby and my youngest daughter who is 9 having her last initial in her name as "M" for Mustang. While filming I had to tell them the story of the car and what it meant to the family. I was more pleased to see the car go to soemone where it will be completed, so I am veyr pleased with the whole experience.

I have been a member of this website for quite awhile and have had a number of dilemnas in regards to keeping or selling my 69 convertible. Well, I sold to a television show out of the UK called the "Classic Car Rescue Show" which will air on the History Channel. They are building two cars in North America and four cars in the UK. The two North American cars are my mustang and a Cadillac. This is a first run television show, so lets hope that it gets picked up. Now to look for a project that is a little further along. Thanks to all of you guys for your help and patience throughout the years. unfrozen1969 Bill from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

What an adventure you are having. I hope that you are still able to fulfill your dream of enjoying your 69 mustang after all of these trials and tribulations. They say that it is the journey that us mustang enthusiasts enjoy, and not the destination. Your journey appears to have taken you on a few twists and turns, but what a story you are able to tell. At the end of the day, "it is what it is", and you will be better for it at the end. Thanks for sharing your story and I am saddened that the guy who sold you the car took advantage of you, especially having travelled so far. Loved the photos. Bill from Canada

It is 6:43am on Christmas morning and I am the only one who is up. The sausages and bacon are cooked, the coffee is on, and still my wife and all three kids are fast asleep. I guess I am still a kid inside. Let us know what Mustang stuff you got this year, from Tshirts to car parts. You have all made this an excellent year by sharing your knowledge, stories and expertise, and thanks to Pakrat and all who administer this site for allowing us to have a place to do so. Merry Christmas, Eh..... Bill from Canada

Really enjoyed the photos, I have a number of them with my kids in them, and now 6 years later it is cool to look back and see how small they were and how involved they are in the rebuild project. You are progressing well. Have a good Holiday Season. Bill from Canada

Oh I am so tempted....to trade in my 2000 Honda Accord on a 2012 white convertible mustang that has been marked down. The dilemna is that my mini-van is getting old and should be updated, and also I have a daugher starting University in two years.... the struggle I have is between what I should do versus what I want to do. Your post on the Boss is inspiring.....

That is mind boggling

Wow what a clean car, awesome photos.

Welcome from Canada, you will be a great addition, and feel free to post lots of pixs. Bill

Lots have guys have parted out cars, but without knowing where you are from it is hard to tell if any of these guys are close by. The car looks like a good project, be patient and ensure that the foundation of the car (frame etc) is solid and not twisted before putting any more money into it.

Excellent photos, I can not wait to see the finished product. Keep posting more photos. Bill from Canada
