Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 The mustang dash is only 1 1/2 inches narrower than the 56 ,a 3/4inch spacer on each side and the mustang dash will easily fit .i will cut the mounting bar out of the mustang and the dash and brake pedal will bolt in ,just have to make a trim panel to fit up to the windshield .when i am finished the 56 will have power windows ,air bags ,anti lock brakes,and the full mustang interiormotor and transmission ,and i just found out the 2007 gt has a 5 speed automatic 1 mwye0627 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 I know you have the skills and equipment to blend the parts together. With that said, I think the Mustang interior and dash will not look right in a 1956 Fairlane, or any car or truck of that period. I bigger challenge will be to get the motor and trans from the 2007 GT to fit and work seamlessly with the 1956 instrument panel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted March 30, 2018 Thanks for the help Bob . Guess what !? It is a P code 312 ,looks untouched . The paper work says it was last registered in 1966 . It has the duel exhaust rear bumper that i think is very rare . The wheels roll but it is stuck in gear so it will be fun getting off the trailer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 Dang, a T-Bird 312 with ram horns. I'm not sure I'll be able to afford it. Good thing it doesn't have alum finned valve covers :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
