Q: What is gas mileage like on old school cars?
I’m planning on getting a old school box chevy

A: It depends on what you call old school. Some of them got decent mpg (14-20), but some of them didn’t (3-9).
A lot of it depends on how they were geared and how you drive them.

Q: Why are some guys attracted to girls in old school cars?
I own a 1965 Ford Falcon and when I cruise around, some guys give me a head knod, ask my name, want my number or buy me a drink or whatever they have to offer. But when I drive my every day car. They dont seem to car one way or the other.

Is it true about boys and toys?

A: A women that appreciates old school cars is cool, likes one of the the things that most guys appreciate. She has class and was probably taught a few things about cars and men, not a “Barbie” type. She probably won’t send you to the poor house being high maintenance. Probably won’t get caught up chasing the Joneses. She knows what she likes, is fun to be with, and is self confident.

Too bad, I am already married.

Q: Can anyone tell me if there are any old school cars that are 6 cyilender engines?
Like I know some Chevy Nova’s and Ford Mustang’s, but is there any more?

A: almost every manufacturer made 6 cyl.

Q: Do the old school cars run in diesel?
especially the muscle cars? I’m planning to buy one

A: No, muscle cars ran on high octane gasoline. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find high enough octane gasoline to run a real muscle car without it “pinging”. The old school muscle cars had a much higher compression ratio and the lower octane gasoline would “ping” or ignite before it was supposed to. Before you buy a muscle car, find out what octane rating is recommended for it and make sure it is available in your area.

For those taking notes: The term “pinging” is used by most everyone who works on cars, it is not “a high school term”. It is used by mechanics who have worked on cars for 20 years and it is used by 20 year olds. A 1965 Chevrolet 327 cid with 350 horse power had 11 to 1 compression ratio and ran best on gasoline with about 120 octane rating, which was available at Sunoco gas stations in the 60’s… I don’t think it is available at your local gas station now. A brand new Chevrolet “crate engine” has 9.1 to 1 compression ratio and has 350 cid and 330 horse power. The higher compression ratio made it possible for the engine to make more than one horse power per cubic inch. When the compression ration went down, it was no longer common for an engine to make more than one horse power per cubic inch. This space was supposed to answer the question if muscle cars ran on diesel, which I answered and gave a very brief note to find out what octane rating was needed for the particular car to be purchased and to find out if the gasoline was available in the area. If someone wants to answer a question, answer the question without trying to attack another answer, especially if the former answer is correct.

P.S. I set the World Drag Racing Record for E/Stock Formula 2 in my 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS with a 327/350.

Q: What is the website for auto trader old school cars?

A: http://www.hemmings.com/ You should find this site great for old school cars.Best of luck.

I been wanting to do this for a long time how do I go about doing it I have skill but no certi or college edu just high school grad I enjoy watching american hot rod and stuff like that,that the kind of stuff i’m into can somebody help me?

A: Well, what about trying to convince a company doing this type of work to employ you?

You might even offer to work two or three days free of charge to show your abilities…

Having more experience and some idea of the business, you might be able after two or three years to start an own company, who knows…?

Q: Where can i find nice old school cars in good shape for sell at im talking about like the year 1965-1979?

A: Auto trader makes a huge classified catalog for all classic cars. Just stop in at a gas station that carries magazines and it should be there. It’s a great one.

Q: Is driving an old school car manual transmission harder than newer cars?
When I say old school i mean 1950s-1970s. Is it harder to shift in an old school car then new car?My grandpa said all his cars back then were stick shifts and he said you needed to know a technique called “double clutch” in order to drive them. He said new cars today are made more efficient so shifting with the clutch is easier.

And if the shifting technique for older cars is different, in what ways do they differ?
I’m considering getting a 1968 Chevelle 4 speed and I just wanted to know how tough that would be compared to a modern shift stick now a days.
Thanks.
Thanks for the answers fellas.

A: My experience has been that it’s easier to shift in the older cars. Bigger engines meant more torque, and combined with low ratio 3 or 4 speed transmissions, made for a much larger margin of error when trying to shift.
Double clutching wasn’t necessary, but you could use it if you missed your first shift. Just rev the engine, let out the clutch slowly, and climb into second gear.
A much funner thing to do, especially if you were driving someone else’s car, was to speed shift. No clutch, just shift by ear. At certain RPM’s, the transmission can be shifted without engaging the clutch. Find that point, and you could shift through all the gears and be flying in no time. Miss the shift at speed, and you would destroy the transmission instantly. Either way, it was always good for an adrenaline rush.

Q: What are around 5 of the most legendary old school muscle cars?
Please put the year, make, and model. Thanks!

A: 1966 to 1970 Dodge Charger with the 392 Hemi / 413 Wedge head.
1970 Ford Mustang Boss 409
1969 Chevy Camaro 396
1970 Dodge Daytona Superbird /413 wedge
1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird/ 413 Wedge
1966 Chevy Corvette / 396
1970 Pontiac GTO Judge/455 Wildcat Motor
1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442/ 442

Q: What are some old school cars, like the shelby GT500.?
That are cheap, well affordable, and can be suped up.

A: You wont find a GT 500 but that doesn’t mean you cant find a good deal on a cool car that will lend itself to modification. However you need to narrow your search to what you like, Chevy, ford, Pontiac…so on, you can find many good deals if your are patient. You can find mid 70s to late 80s Camaros for a good price and these cars (although smog regulated) can be modified allot. If you don’t mind four doors you can find cars that are in nice shape and V8s for fair prices too…don’t be narrow minded when it comes to a search, you wont find a ready to run GT500 or any other “muscle car” for 4 grand but you can find a used 66 mustang coupe with a small V8 or straight 6 for 4-5 grand if you look in the right places…..I recommend looking on eBay motors, under collector cars or Traderonline.com, there are tons of cars out there ripe for the picking…you just have to be creative.

Q: Wheres a good website to find old school cars for under 5k

A: There are a lot of police auction and government auction listings that sometimes show good deals on cars. Police auctions are held in every state and you can sometimes find great deals.

Q: where to buy calenders,posters,etc. of old school muscle cars..?

WHERE CAN I BUY THINGS THAT I CAN PUT IN MY ROOM FOR DECORATIONS..
I WANT SOME CALENDERS..
IS THERE A PLACE OR A GOOD WEBSITE WHERE THEY SELL LOTS OF PRODUCTS OF OLD SCHOOL CARS.

CHEVY,CHALLENGER,SHELBY GT500..ETC

A: eBay! eBay will have them, and cheap.

Q: Where’s the best place to buy old school cars, ones in decent shape?

A: The Barrett JAckson Auction………it is the best place…….if you’re loaded……otherwise there is the largest classic car auction & used parts flea market in north america just north of Toronto @ Burls Creek Family Event Park…..there is one held in the spring & one in the fall.

Q: find engine sizes for a 1964 ford falcon?
I am looking to put a engine in my son’s 1964 falcon, he has a 170 but I am looking to put a 200 or possibly a 262 if I do not have to do any reconstruction of the engine compartment, such as rearranging motor mounts etc…
any suggestions? I will also be having a new transmission dropped in at the same time.

A: In 1964 factory installation was a L6, 144.3 – 170.0 – 200.0 – and V8, 260.0, 116 hp.

Q: Where can I find headers for a 1964 Ford Falcon?
I have a 64 Falcon with a 260ci V8 and want to find a pair of good headers. Already checked flowmaster and hedman and they only make parts for the 298 motor.

A: well babe

go out to ur nearist skoda out let walk in start roarin am a big shot serve me now i own a big chuga chuga moble n its broketed please help
and if this fails then

Q: 1964 Ford Falcon: How to identify the difference between the 260 and 289 manifold.?
How can I determine whether I have a 260 or 289 manifold?

A: there should be a casting number on it starting with C4 for 64 or C5 for 65, also look at the road draft tube in the rear, early ones had it. but there were some very early 289’s that will look the same, so you can’t really tell…

oh, I almost forgot the easiest, 4 barrels are all 289, any 260 will be a 2 barrel.. and a 2 barrel 289 will be a C5 at least for Mustangs..not 100% for sure about Falcons..

Q: How much should I ask for both doors from a 1964 Ford Falcon 2dr Hardtop?
These are very solid straight doors, freshly painted, not professional, I see one run for sure, thanx for the input!

A: Depends on how fast you want to sell them. Freshly painted means nothing since they’ll need to be repainted anyway to match whatever car they’ll be mounted to. You would have been better off not having them painted, gives the buyer a look at the original condition and verify no dents have been filled. $200 to $300 is reasonable, anything higher will take longer to sell. If you’re using free ads then time isn’t an issue.

Q: looking to purchase a 1964 ford falcon 6 cylinder engine?
1964 falcon convert able located in ca. the present engine has a cracked block and cannot be rebuilt. i have searched everywhere…engine must run, will consider shipping from anywhere in u.s.

A: If I were you… I’d make sure the block is truly unusable. Any cylinder wall that’s cracked can usually be bored out and sleeved. That’s a normal fix. However, cracked water jackets not associated with the cylinder wall are another story… etc-etc-etc. If you don’t know what’s what, get the opinion of a long standing automotive machine shop in your area. They will tell you whether or not a block can be sleeved or if it’s really shot. There are also a few motor welding companies across the country that are very successful with certain repairs too… but repairs of this nature (oven brazing and cast iron welding) are usually expensive thus are reserved for expensive and rare blocks. If your car is a numbers matching car… you might choose to look into doing what it takes to save the block though. I would. If worse comes to worst, turn the block into a coffee table. After you fully degrease and paint it. Why? Because you never know what the future holds for repairs… and some day, your block might be able to be saved. They’re doing amazing things with lasers these days… including in the realm of welding.

OK, you didn’t say what engine you have… but if it’s a stock engine it should be a 144 or 170 unless someone transplanted in a 200, 250, 240 or 300. I doubt you have a 250, 240 or 300 though… but I couldn’t rule it out either so I decided to bring them up. For a stock engine, either the 144 or 170 isn’t that good of an engine. By design they’re weaker than later inlines… but they can be hopped up a little bit to get a bit more HP out of them. Finding one won’t be easy… but more on that later.

In case you have a 200, it’ll be better than the 144 or 170 due to it being a better design than the others. You can also hop it up more… in fact, overall, more speed parts are available for the 200 than the other engines. Can a 200 really be hopped up? Sure. You can DOUBLE the HP if you want to spend the money. It has 7 main bearings (stout block, smooth operation) and quite a few speed parts available for it: header sets, bolt on intakes (after you machine the head to allow them to be bolted on), etc-etc-etc. You can actually do a lot with them if you want to.

As for the others I listed, the best of the bunch is the 300. The 250 is an enlarged 200 for the most part… and that’s OK… but the 300 is the pinnacle. It is Ford’s longest running engine. Ford turned it into an EFI engine back in 1987 and there are lots of parts available for it. In fact, you can get 400 HP or more out of it if you want to… reliable HP too. The 240 came before the 300… and the block is the same. The crank for the 300 is different (longer stroke) and the 240 head gives higher compression but the engines for the most part use the same parts and are interchangeable.

Let’s look at your car. If you want to remain stock, by all means… seek out a 144 or 170. Get a serviceable block rebuilt to specs, install it and enjoy your car. What would I do? Seriously look at installing a modern 302. Why? For the power gain & economy, it’ll be worth it. Far more HP and far better mileage. It will weigh more than a stock 6 but you can easily overcome that by beefing up the suspension of the car. The good news? Plenty of parts are available to swap in this engine. The downside? You’ll probably have to swap the trans out too… but again, to me it would be worth it. Your car, properly modified, will be so much more enjoyable to drive… good grief. I can almost feel a 302 backed by a T5 at my fingertips. Anyway, that’s just an idea.

Here’s the “more” I promised. What to do about getting a stock engine? You live in California. Lucky you. Tons of parts suppliers in CA. If I were you, I’d contact all the suppliers I could find near you, in state or on the west coast. Also check these:

http://www.falconparts.com (North Highlands, CA)
http://www.dearbornclassics.com (Bend, OR)
http://www.nwfalcon.com (Portland, OR)
http://www.thunderbirdconn.com (Phoenix, AZ)

What you’re looking for is an outfit that has REAL cars as opposed to just brand new parts. They’ll most likely have some spare engines laying around that you could purchase. NW Falcon would be a good bet. I will also say… that you should consult your local parts suppliers. Old parts yards often have old parts laying around. Be sure to exhaust every local business first… then move farther away as needed. Also pay attention to anyone that deals with other Fords such as the Econoline, Fairlane, Ranchero, Comet, etc. Why? Those cars also used the 144 & 170 in the early 60s. Best wishes!

Q: 1964 Ford Falcon Futura engine size?
I had a straight Falcon with a straight 6 a couple of years ago and it had a 170. I just bought a 1964 4-door Futura for $500 and need to rebuild the carb and was wondering if it comes stock with a 170 or a 200. I didn’t see it on the engine and can’t find out online.

Q: Where is a good place to buy a 1965 Ford Mustang online besides ebay motors?
I am from Texas and am looking to buy a 1965 Ford Mustang. I’v checked ebay motors and craigslist. My budget is around $5000. Any tips?

If you were to expand your search, you can usually find Mustangs at swap meets. Sometimes you’ll find a good deal, sometimes not.

Q: How do I replace the floor in my 1965 Ford Mustang?
I’m restoring a 1965 Ford Mustang. I’ve stripped it down to a rolling chassis, and in the process discovered that the floor panels are rusted through in several places. I’ve also discovered evidence that the car had been in a front-end collision. I wanted to do a lot of the body work myself, but now I’m worried that cutting out the entire floor will cause the chassis to bend. I’m also worried that the chassis may already distorted due to the collision. How do I replace the floor without warping the chassis, and how can I be sure that the chassis is straight?

A: check with yearone I believe they sell floor pans, just cut out the old one, clean up the area and have the new pan welded in place.

I think the website is www.yearone.com they have a mustang specific catalog

Q: How do you remove the ignition cylinder on a 1965 Ford Mustang?
I am restoring a 1965 Ford Mustang and I am having a hard time removing the ignition cylinder?

Q: How much is a 1965 Ford Mustang worth today?
I’m interested in purchasing a 1965 Ford Mustang from a classified ad in the newspaper. The ad reads, “65 Mustang, 289, A-code, 4bbl auto, ac, good cond, runs xlnt. $4500.” Is this a reasonable price? (I haven’t been to see the car yet myself, but considering the seller is telling the truth and there truly are little repairs/it runs excellently…) Thanks!!

A: It sounds good. A code is a base 4 bbl V8. Is it a coupe, conv. or 2+2. Its make a big difference in price. A excellent condition car is price from $5000 to 20,000. Get a independent appraiser to check it out.

Q: what are the chances of me owning a 1965 Ford Mustang?
I’m now 20 years old. I’ve been wanting one since I was 15. I have my own licence now. I’m dreaming about buying my first car.

What are the chances of me owning one ? I want to drive around town in it and impress girls.

One thing I want to do before I die is to drive a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback.

A: i don’t agree with the first answer. i drive a 68 gt500 convertible. plenty of girls are impressed and love the car. everybody turns and stares. if you really want one, take your time save your money and buy one or restore one. still less expensive than most new cars and a better in vestment because they increase in value not depreciate.

Q: Should I paint my 1965 Ford Mustang before I work on the rest of the car?
I have 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe. It it runs but it needs some work done to it. I am not sure if I should get it painted before I start working on the rest of it or not. I have been told to get it painted first because they will strip it and gut it so they can sand blast it and paint it. I was also told to get it painted last because you don’t want the paint job to get messed up while you are working on it. I have looked through many different books and nothing has told me which to start with. Can anyone give me some guidance?

A: Do all the mechanical work first and make sure it all works and fits well. Then take it all apart and do the body and paint. Put it back together, add interior and glass, enjoy the car.

Q: How much (rough estimate) should is my 1965 Ford Mustang worth?
I have a 1965 Ford Mustang, it’s a 200, inline 6, automatic.
I’m the 3rd owner.
It’s not perfect, has never been restored, but the body is fine. There’s NO rust on the vehicle.
It was a Calif car (1st owner, 25+ years), then TX.
I bought the vehicle in FL from the 2nd owner in 1998 and drove it off & on over the past decade.
It runs but needs a tune-up, as the car has been garaged for the past 4 years straight and not driven at all in that time.

This car is my baby and my dream was to restore it and get a true automotive education from it. Dashing that dream is not something I am really prepared or happy about doing.
Life has made other plans, however, so I should probably sell this car.

I am not quite sure how to go about selling it, or what a fair price for the vehicle would be. Please respond with your suggestions as to how to get it appraised or figure out its market value.
Also, can anyone recommend a good website for selling this?

I paid $1500 for it in ‘98

A: A Ford “cammer” generally refers to a 427 SOHC motor – and the engine alone is worth 5 or 6 figures.

Q: Upgrade the engine in my 1965 Ford Mustang?
I have a 1965 ford mustang with a 200 ci 6 cyl engine and i would like to upgrade this as much as i can for 3000 dollars what options are open for me sry i dont know that much about cars.

A: This is a going to be a learning experience for you. Your main constriction is the money. You can MAYBE buy all the parts to make a proper conversion to a V8 since upgrading the suspension, brakes and cooling is also required but you will need to do ALL the work yourself since you have no more money.

Being “i dont know that much about cars”, this may be a stretch for you.

You can also visit Clifford and get some go-fast parts for your car and you can afford the help of a mechanic to put it on for you. And it will be a more unique ride than every one else.

Q: Which 1965 Ford Mustang model is better?
All things equal, restored, etc. which 1965 Mustang is worth more, an automatic 6 cylinder Fastback, a 8 cylinder, manual coupe, or a 6 cylinder automatic convertible?

A: In this order, convertible, 2+2, and then the coupe .. the convertible will probably be left alone, while the 2+2 (correct name) will get the V8 restorod treatment.. Coupes, even with the V8 are only worth half of what a 2+2 goes for..

By actual book value the two are about equal according to OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE. So the 2+2 is catching up..

I have a convertible and a 2+2, and I don’t buy coupes anymore after owning 4..

Q: How much would it cost to ship a 1965 ford mustang from Chicago to Dublin,Ireland?
Do you need to hire a container or cover?

A: Why are you shipping the car over sea If you sold it on ebay you should have told them to arrange for shipping

Q: 1968 mustang?
Does anyone know how to calibrate the speedometer in a 68 mustang?

A: The only way to calibrate the speedo on these is to change the speedometer drive gear located in the transmission tailshaft.
There are several combinations, so make sure the drive and driven gear are compatible.
Your local Ford dealer should have a chart that will show the gears needed for the axle ratio and tire size.

Also, looked on kbb but only goes back to 1986 (?) so no luck

A: Try the National Auto Dealers Assn web site. They have a classic car section that includes your 68 Mustang.

Q: How much would it cost to get a 1968 mustang GT coupe painted for lime green to lipstick red?
I bought a 1968 Ford Mustang GT coupe and I want It to be painted from lime green to lipstick red. It has no rust or scratches and I’ll only drive it in the summer. I can remove all the trim myself for painting and put it back on, in canadian dollars please.

A: Well you are asking a question about dollars and sense. It doesn’t make sense to spend all your dollars if you don’t have to, am I right? Well then, keeping that in mind, I will tell you that there are two way’s you can paint a car. There is the right way, obviously, and the wrong way, also obvious. The right way is to get the car looking like Ford actually painted it that color back in 1968. A correct and true color change will include the entire engine bay, the door jams, the interior and the the entire underside. The wrong way to paint it would be to cut corners just to save money. This includes NOT removing all trim/windows/lights/engine/trans./suspension components/brake lines/fuel lines/etc. The right way to “color change” a vehicle will easily cost you upwards of $10,000 Canadian. The wrong way can leave you with a fatter wallet but a smaller ego. The wrong way can still cost 1,2,3 maybe even $4,000 if you are a sucker. My suggestion, if you truly want to do this, is to entirely dismantle the whole car on your own, put it on a rotiserrie, have it towed to a shop that does acid dipping and sand blasting and then take it to whomever is painting it for you. This will allow them(the painter) to do their work and not worry about prep./overspray/etc.

A real color change is an expensive, time consuming process. I hope I have helped, good luck!

Q: How much wolud a fully restored 1968 Mustang Fastback sell for?

Q: How to start restoring a 1968 mustang fastback?
I just bought a 1968 mustang fastback. Its a sweet car. Im from SD but work on the road all the time. I would love to restore it myself but I obviously dont have the time. I would rather have someone in the state or close by restore it but not sure who really does it there. My main question is should I give it to a shop that could do everything and contract out the engine and other stuff while doing the body work or start by having a mechanic do all the work on the mechanics and then giving the car over to the body man. the car is in decent shape but is not driveable because a frame rail is rusted thru. 289 2v auto.

go to the above link to see a pic
The car looks great in a pic but its been sitting in a shed since 1982 and had a cheap enamel paint job done around 1980. the only rust is a lil in the shock towers and the rear right frame rail

A: Frame rot is pretty serious for a Mustang..You really need to find a Mustang does all repair shop.. The body has to be taken off the frame and replaced… Not fixed replaced… To redo the car all the way is gona cost $20-$25 K The car will be brand new… Some of these shops are really fantastic and do the job in 2-3 months… A 68 Mustang only costs $2200 new…If you change your mind about fixing it–sell it to some one who will..

Q: How much would it cost to register a 1968 mustang fastback GT?
i have a 1968 mustang fastback GT and it hasnt been registered for at least 10 years. What I am wondering is how much it will cost to register it in california. I am 44 years old if that has any importance. Thanks
just give a rough estimate of how much it will cost

A: It’s $69 plus any penalties and tranfers..If it’s been off the books that long it may be out of the computer and no penalties..

$69 is now the minimum for old cars…

Q: Is the trunk lid on a 1968 Mustang Fastback the same as the trunk lid on a 1968 Mustang Coupe?
I have a 1968 Mustang Fastback and I need doors for it. There is a local junk yard guy who has a Coupe and will give me the doors for a real good price. If you can please help me I would truly appreciate it. Thanks! Have a Nice Day!

A: The trunk lids are completely different, the fastback’s is smaller than the coupes. However the doors will fit just fine, if I remember correctly it’s only the glass that is different so you’ll need to replace the door glass.

Q: Where would you find information about installing windows in a 1968 Mustang?
We are restoring a 1968 Mustang ourselves and need help with the windows. Any website or any book would be great! Thanks!!

A: Your local parts house will have a repair manual and it will have some info on window repair.

Some “simple” projects can seem daunting, especially when it comes to glass. For some reason, nearly everyone is afraid of breaking glass, so they will either avoid working around it or go about doing things the hard way. Let’s look at this side window assembly and see how to remove the glass in the most efficient manner.

A typical car door window is held in place by the bottom track and a full – or partial – chrome-plated channel that frames it. The glass itself is sandwiched into these metal components with a rubber/fiber window channel material and some sort of sealing compound. In modern (post 1970)cars the sealing compound is probably a caulk-like material while in older cars the compound was a form of window putty. In either case the material solidifies over time and can be very hard to remove, so separating the window from the frame requires a little imagination.

In all cases you will be able to separate the top part of the window frame from the bottom channel. In the case of this T-Bird window there are three screws at the back end that hold the chrome channel to the bottom frame. We had to drill out one of them, but suffice to say that you should be able to remove the screws in some relatively easy way.

In all probability the channel is going to stick to the glass, as it did on the subject window. We softened the old, dried putty in the channel by soaking the window in the laundry tub overnight. Soapy water did the trick and we were able to gently remove the chrome channel from the window without bending anything. Tip: When prying against glass always use a wooden spatula or wrap duct tape around screwdriver blades to prevent chipping!

The bottom of the window is also held in the channel with fiber lining and putty, but this T-Bird window had been sealed with more modern materials sometime in the past 20-30 years. Soaking did nothing to soften the grip on the window, so in cases like this we recommend inserting a thin blade between the glass and lining and cutting along its length to free the glass from the channel. You have to take time doing this. Cut as deeply as possible on each pass until you get to the bottom. It is only when you can cut to the bottom on both sides of the glass that you can reliably pry the channel off. If you don’t do this you stand a good chance of bending the channel or breaking the glass.

I hope this will help you some.

Q: How do I change an automatic shift to a manual shift on a 1968 mustang?
hi, I have a 1968 mustang, and I have an automataic shift. I would really like to change it to either 4 or 5 speed manual, but I don’t know what i need to do the job at home without breaking the bank by going to a shop. If you could help, that would be great.Plz help.

Thanks

Bob

A: Transmission,bell housing,fly wheel,clutch pedal and all linkage,throw out bearing,shifter,and possibly drive shaft and clutch and pressure plate.

Q: Would it be cheaper to strip a 1968 mustang and paint the entire car or only paint the outside?
I have a 1968 ford mustang and was wondering if i should take everything out of the car and only leave the wheels to roll it on, then have everything painted (door jams, doors, interior metal…) or only paint the outside shell of the car. Which would be cheaper and which would be more necessary? Also the price. (not much body work needs to be done)

A: If you are keeping the car the same color, painting only the outside will suffice and cost A LOT less. If you are doing a full color change, I suggest painting the WHOLE car, otherwise it will look cheap.

Hope this helps, Good Luck!

Bob

A: You are going to need a manual trans, bellhousing, clutch disk, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, manual shifter and linkage, clutch pedal and linkage, manual nosecone on starter, and just basic hand tools. I swapped out an automatic for a four speed in a ‘66 Stang. It took me a full day and then some to make the swap. My driveshaft worked without any mods, and so did my crossmember.

Q: Where can i get 1968 mustang parts?
I recently purchased a 1968 mustang 2-Door hardtop. I had a car accident and i need to repair the front of it. Where can i get a good deal in the parts.

Q: How much would you sell a 1968 Mustang Coupe?
I have mustang coupe 1968 sitting in my driveway for about 4 years now. I bought it before that from a man that hasent srove it since 1992…so its been a while. Original engine is still inside the engine bay, but everything else needs work hah. Original dash also.
How much would you sell the car for?

A: That should sell for about 4000 $ – 6500 $ … But as you said that it’s in a bad condition It might be worth a bit less than that … You can sell for more cuz it’s a muscle some people would buy it for much .

Q: I was wondering if you could put a 429 super cobra jet engine into a 1968 mustang?
Yeah, i want to restore an old mustang, and i think it would be really cool to put a 429 into a 1968. Then with like a 4-speed manual. Maybe put some nos on it. can someone help, I desperatly want to know.
Thanks

A: Here’s a link to put a 429/460 into a 67-70 Mustang. N.O.S. is an acronym, NOT a word!! Unless you have deep pockets, I wouldn’t recommend getting too worked up about a 429SCJ. Yes, it WILL fit between the shock towers, tight, but it fits.

Q: 1967 Impala?
Anyone knows how many 67′ impala 4 door hardtops were made.. And if any are for sale anywhere???

Q: How much would a carb job be on a 1967 Impala?
I am looking at buying a 1967 Impala but the seller is telling me that it needs a carb job and a brake job.

How much do both usually run for? The car has a 327 engine.

A: HI
Yes it is a Classic but its a Chevy and everybody has one… So I wouldn’t worry about parts. They well be kind of expensive but not really hard to find….
Anyway on to your question..
I have see them rebuilt for about $150.oo and up.. Brake job will be in or around $400.oo or less depending on if the drums can be turned or not..
good luck

Q: How difficult would it be to sell a 1967 Impala, that as of the present moment doesn’t run, on ebay?
I have a four door 1967 Impala that I have owned for about six years now. I got it when i was 14/15 and my plan was to start then and restore it with my father. Well, because of personal reasons, that never happened. It’s a great car and when I first got it, it ran fine. It has two noticable dents on the front fenders and a hole in the interior. I can’t really afford to sell it for less than 1000, but I am hoping to sell it for more. Any input on what’s the best methods? I’ve never sold on ebay, that’s why I’m asking. How would I do shipping for a car that doesn’t really run (if it runs it wouldn’t run well)?

A: You may be suprised at what someone will pay, if you don’t want anything less than $1000 start the bidding at that reserve and most of the ads will say that the buyer will pay for transporting, how they get the vehicle is their responsibility.

Q: How much could i sell a black 1967 Chevy impala 4dr for?
Its a 1967 Chevy Impala 4 door, black. Engine-283-8 cylinder. Around 50xxx miles on it. My question is how much would I be able to sell it for?

A: depends 100% on the condition in mint condition could be thousands if you find the right buyer otherwise as little as $500

Q: What do the Jonas Brothers have to do with 1967 Chevy Impala?
Okay, shoot me I read some JB ff stuff, and in almost every single one, they mention the JoBros with a 1967 Chevy Impala. The only thing that makes any sense to me, is that all the girls are like secretly Supernatural worshipers. So, is there any saneness behind the Impala? Or is it just all fanmade?

A: Well I do believe it is in the the Paranoid video and it looks a lot like Nick’s car but it isn’t, it is a dodge challenger (kudos to rolling stone magazine) His is an older version so it does look somewhat like the Impala. However some fans could just be saying it like you said or some could honestly not tell the difference between the Impala and the challenger

Q: why does the 1967 chevy impala look like the 1967 chevy caprice?
why does the 1967 chevy impala look like the 1967 chevy caprice? they look exactly the same? why? whats the difference? is there a difference?

A: Back in the day the big Chevy’s shared the same basic body. The Caprice was a higher trim level than the Impala. They do the same thing today but instead of calling them Caprice’s and Impala’s the trim packages are referred to as LS or LT.

Q: do you know anywhere i can find a 1967 chevy impala?
my dream car is the black 1967 chevy impala. does anyone know where i could get it, in fresno?

A: you might want to check this web site out,they have all kinds of classic cars,and you can find anything on this site,when i get it on it i spend hours looking at all the old cars,you,ll probably find one here,good luck,http://classiccar.com/

Q: Where can I buy a 1967 Chevrolet Impala, 4-door hardtop sedan, preferably black?
I’m looking for a 1967 Chevrolet Impala, 4-door hardtop sedan, preferably black. I’ve checked a lot of websites and am having trouble finding one. It doesn’t need to be in fantastic condition or anything since I plan to restore it if needed. I understand they’re really hard to find, so if anyone happens to read this and is selling one, that would be great help as well. Any help I can get would be GREATLY appreciated.

A: I’ve had a 67 4dr impala for about 14 years now and have thought about selling it many times over the years. I don’t drive it much any more but it runs well and has some some minor modifications done over the years ie: rebuilt engine, 283, bored 30 over, dual exhaust, 4barrel carb with performance intake. It has a 2 speed powerglide trans and Crager SS rims. I could give you more detail about anything and everything about the car if you want. It was painted medium blue metallic a 1968 GM color about 8 years ago and still looks good except for a little rust around the fender wells. Let me know if you are interested or would like more specific info. I get offers for the car every time I take it for a drive but would probably part with it for a reasonable price.

Q: What is the fuel ecconomy on a 1967 Impala?
The car I am asking about weighs about 3800 pounds and has a 283 cubic inch engine (4.6L) carburated. I was told it has pretty decent highway ecconomy but if anyonme has websites or knows that the MPG is on that car please let me know.

I have been tirelessly trying to find which car to get. the impala cause to me it is so beautiful, the mustang cause of its speed. I cant choose which one do you think is best our do you prefer.

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net

Q: How do you install an ignition switch for a 1967 Chevy Impala?
When you put the ignition switch in, you have a paper clip pressing in a tiny hole and you turn the key. Do you turn the key to the right or the left? It didn’t come with the directions. Please help, I need to know NOW!!

A: To the right as if the engine was running.

Oh, disconnect the negative battery terminal. Just in case.

Then the tumbler “should” pull out.

You should feel the paper clip go in a little to release the lock pin.

Q: 67 mustang?????????????????????

i got a 67 mustang yesterday and my frined came over with his. mine had a new steering wheel while his was classic. we swhiched and we got my horn working. we put on the wheel wrong though and after we adjusted it we tried the horn and it sparked. any ideas?

A: your either not running the horn through the relay, or you have the relay wired wrong.get a schematic.you should get a 12 volt – a the wire. it just momentarily completes the ground side of the relay at the wheel.

Q: how much should i pay for a 67 mustang coupe?
My neighbor is selling a 67 ford mustang coupe for 10,500
He says it has a totally rebuilt engine, a new 900 dollar dual exhaust system, and headers. As far as i know it has the 289 V8 engine. It has a very nice interior and a pretty new paint job, although i have seen one or two little spots of rust.
Is it worth it?

A: I’d never give that kind of money for a hardtop, look for a fastback.. might need a little more work, but will be worth it in the end..

Q: What kind of supercharger can i put on a 67 Mustang Coupe?
i have a 67 mustang coupe and i want more power and a better sound.

Q: How much would a distributor be for a 67 Mustang?
I’m thinking about buying a 67 mustang from my boyfriends uncle. It needs a new distributor. i want to know how much i would need to invest into it. How much would it cost to buy it and have someone [who knows what they're doing] install it?

A: Distributors can be rebuilt, usually just points, condenser, rotor, by may need new bushings if wobbly. $35 parts and a hour labor. You might join a local club. Some of the members are helpful and handy when it comes to their Mustangs..

Q: How much should I try to sell my ‘67 mustang for?
I inherited a ‘67 mustang from an uncle and have been putting some money into it. This is the basic stats- Engine rebuit and c4 trans resealed 8000 miles ago. New seats, headliner, carpet, and dash (all black). New black steering wheel.
New blue paint job about a year ago. New lining in trunk and new dual exhaust.
There’s no visible rust or body damage and all the chrome trim is new. There’s no speakers or radio.
Can anyone give me a roundabout value of the car in their opinion?
Thanks

A: you give a good description, but leave out the biggest details, body and engine, is it a fastback, v8?

Coupes values are determined by the investment in them, but sell for less than. Fastbacks bring full return on investment and maybe more.

you can list it local or on craigslist for a fast local sale or put it on Ebay to get top bid

without seeing it, I would guess $6000-7000 for a coupe and double that for a fastback.

Q: Whats the biggest intake I can put on a 67 mustang stock hood with 390 motor?
I have a 67 Mustang with a 390 motor, and stock hood, and was wondering if someone could tell me whats the biggest intake I can put on it?

Q: If I put disc brake on my 67 mustang will it change my bolt pattern?
I want to add disc brakes to my 67 mustang in the near future, but I am purchasing rims and tires now. I was wondering if the bolt pattern will change on a brake conversion kit?

A: Not if you purchase the kit with the stock bolt pattern.

Q: Is it unlikely to find a ‘67 Mustang for $6000-9000 that runs and looks great?
I am sure this is anyone’s wet dream to be able to find the little old lady who babied her Mustang and now wants to sell it but has no idea what it is worth. But does anyone know for sure that it is possible to buy a ‘67 Mustang coupe for 6-9 thousand that is in very good to great running and looking condition? Or am I smoking? How does one determine the value of these cars if there is no Kelley Blue Book on them because they are so old? I also can’t run a Carfax check on them because of the year. Any suggestions? Thank you all in advance.

A: Join a Mustang group like the one below.

As long as you aren’t picky and expect a fastback, GT or big block you can find some reasonable coupes.

watch craigslist.org and ebay. but be careful of shipping cost and untold rust when buying across the country. best to try to find something local. and get a Old Cars Price Guide at a book store or order it online http://www.oldcarspriceguide.net/

Q: Can I put a 67 mustang fastback shell on a fox body frame?
If not, what would a 67 mustang body fit on best? Thanks.

A: Both cars are UNI-BODY construction so you can not interchange the frames BUT you can upgrade the 67 with COMPONENTS from the Fox Body. You could bolt the 5.0 which = 302 CI and use the front suspension and braking system. You could use the rear axle and trans also, it would take a bit to do but if you have a donor car you could swap a lot over, these kind of conversions are done all the time. Check with a Mustang restoration shop they have conversion kits for these.

Q: how do I remove the engine of my 67 mustang?
got a 67 mustang with an engine that needs to be overhauled, where do I start?

A: I start by taking the hood off the car.
Drain and remove radiator.
I pull the engine without the transmission but putting it back in requires a little patience. Use jack stand to support transmission.
Disconnect everything from engine.
Lift with hoist, I use the chain bolted to the manifold bolt using longer bolts.
Lift engine out and install on engine stand.
Reverse above to install.

Q: does anybody know any site where i can buy a 65-67 mustang?

Q: How can you make a 67 Mustang handle big horsepower without a roll cage?
Or is a cage the only way to strengthen the unibody of a Mustang? I know subframe connectors are a joke on these cars. I am running 11.80’s, but it is a street car. I would like to build a chassis and drivetrain to handle (some day!) 700-800 horsepower. My body is already “rippled” from running the e.t. that I do. I’d like to make sure that car is rigid enough to prevent this in the future.

A: if you get into 10 second et’s i believe you have to have a roll cage to race. you should check out chassis specialty shops for proper chassis stiffening.

Q: how easy is it to steal a 67 mustang?
i have a 67 mustang and live in la i was wondering if it would be a target of theft?
what can i also do to it to make it less likely to be stolen?

A: older cars are easier to steal, plus it doesn’t help that u live in LA. that car is high risk. put a gps tracker in it. use a removable steering wheel. install a fuel pump switch, so nobody can driveoff with it. hire a guard 24/7.

Q: What kind of wheels/tires should I put on my 67 Mustang?
Mustang 67 coupe stock high (I need the rims and tires size)
Thanks

A: American racing outlaw II’s look good on old mustangs. 15 or 16×7 with some 60 tires would be good.

Q: Body difference between 1969 Dodge Charger and 1969 Super Bee?
Were there any body differences between the 1969 Charger and the 1969 Super Bee? They look a lot alike!

A: the super bee was built off a dodge coronet body style,it had no relation to the charger body’s at all,the Plymouth road runners and gtx,s and satellites were the same body style,the road runner and the the gtx,s they have slightly different design,s as you can tell from looking at this picture,they were two totally different vehicles,engines and transmissions were the same but that’s about it,http://www.hubcapcafe.com/ocs/pages01/dodg6904.htm good luck on it.

Q: Can you turn a 1969 dodge charger into a hydrogen / gasoline hybrid ?
Can you turn a 1969 dodge charger into a hydrogen / gasoline hybrid car?
i would wanna turn a 1969 dodge charger into a hydrogen / gasoline hybrid vehicle to lower the cost of gasoline and make me more independent and how much do you think it would cost?? also would the engine still sound and hum the same way it normally does or not??

A: You are lucky enough to have a ‘69 charger and you want to jack it up. If you are concerned about milage do the following:
1. sell the charger to someone who knows what to do with it.
2. take the proceeds and go get a Honda Fit.
3. don’t ever buy another muscle car again

Q: How can you rent a 1969 Dodge Charger for a day?
My dad used to drive a red dodge charger when he was young. He always admires these cars anytime that he sees them. I was wondering if there is a way to rent one to allow him to experience some nostalga. He lives in West Virginia.

A: NO! Why because these cars can’t be replaced. But you can buy one. A nice 69 is only asbout 80 grand.

Q: Which is better a 1969 Dodge Charger or 1969 Mustang?
Judgeing on horsepower, engine and looks which would you rather have? Don’t take into account that the Charger cost alot more these days.

A: I think by far it is the Charger, just look at the body lines the best looking muscle car of the late 60/s. The engines made lots of power and are just designed better than the Fords. The Charger has i bet more people look at it at a stoplight than a Mustang will ever have.

Q: What was the difference between the 1969 dodge charger R/T and the white hat 1969 charger’s?
BTW what were the options and color choices?

A: There was no “white hat” charger. The white hat deal was a sales (advertising gimmick), as in “good guys wear white hats”. You can Google 1969 dodge charger options to get the rest of the info you want.

Q: Where can I buy a 1969 Dodge Charger?
I am in the UK and would like to buy a classic 1960 Dodge Charger, I would prefer one to restore but I don’t mind. I was just wondering if there was a classic american car importers in the UK, near London or Kent preferably.

Q: I’m buying a 1969 Dodge Charger. Are there any recommended parts to put in it to make it worth while?
I love the way the 1969 Dodge Charger from the newest Dukes of Hazzard movie sounds when it runs. I love the way it looks all together. I’d like to know what kind of parts might make it sound/run/look like that and I would like to know about how much it would cost.

A: As long as it has a big block and 4 speed transmission, it will be cool.

Q: Price range for a 1969 Chevy Camaro and Dodge Charger?
I was looking for old cars. Someone said they wanted an old 1969 Dodge Charger, so I went on google and I they looked cool. But I like the 1960s Chevy Camaro.
If anyone knows the prices of these two cars, please help.
I think they’re way cool (:

A: depends on if you buy them in a “project car” condition, barely running or restored, a junk classic msucle car can cost between $1,000 and $2,000 easy with no drive train, fully restored to factory specs they’ll cost about $45,000-75,000 give or take only because a 69 camaro and 69 charger are highly in demand, look on autotrader.com or eBay

i also suggest if you do buy one don’t let it sit in a garage, drive it like it was made to, even daily

Q: Where can I get a 1969 dodge charger to fix up?
It dosnt have run or anything. I just want to find one for around 200 to 500 $ that I can fix up.

A: Right here, but this one is a little more expensive, for $200-$500 you would just be looking at a pile of rust.

Q: Where can I find a cheap 1968 camaro project in california?
I am interested in buying a 1968 camaro project that I would like to work on. If you know anybody who is selling one or a very reliable website that has camaro’s it would be greatly appreciated if you let me know.

A: I am not sure how close you are to the Arizona (or Nevada) state line but there is a few places there that specialize in camaros and the best part about Arizona and Nevada is very little moisture in the air (so very little rust). So if you are willing to travel for the vehicle you might be able to find one in better condition. Just a suggestion. Good luck on finding your project.

Q: Is driving a 1968 Camaro a cool car to drive for a teenage girl?
my dad wont by me a car, but he offered to let me drive his 1968 camaro that was his in high school, to school next year…. its getting totally redone with new everything……… i dont think it fits a teenage girl to drive…. but im mad my dad wont get me a “newer” car.

A: You sound completely spoiled! When I turned 18, my parents bought me an 8 year old mini truck that was beat to hell and it wouldn’t go into third gear, so I had to rev up the RPMs real high and speed shift from second to fourth. It had no interior, so my parents bought this bright red indoor outdoor carpeting and they glued it to the floor and the door panels. The inside of my truck basically looked like a billard table. They paid five hundred bucks for my truck and I didn’t even know how to drive a stick. My friend and I took down some chains that were blocking off the front of The Angels Stadium in Aneheim California and we drove around the empty parking lot and he taught me how to shift. I tried to help my daughter with money for a car, but she kept picking lemons and they would break down, so she ended up taking the bus everywhere for a couple years. You don’t deserve a gift like a totally rebuilt, classic 68 Camaro. Your Dad should buy you a beater or hand you a bus pass and teach you to appreciate what you’ve got

Q: How much would it cost to fix up a 1968 Camaro RS?
I am looking at a 1968 Camaro and it it needs a moderate amount of work, roughly how much do you think it will cost??
I want to strip it, get new interior and put everything new. New stereo, power locks and windows, etc.

A: That’s an open ended question and depends on the amount of time and money you’re willing to commit as well as the level of interest you can sustain over the long haul. I’ve done restorations that dragged on for two years and can just suck the joy out of your life, no matter how cool the car may be and how grand your vision (I eventually finished my big one, a highly modified 1965 Corvair, that I autocrossed, ran time trials at Lime Rock with and drove daily for another 4 years until it just rusted away (in the northeast, you just can’t preserve a car that gets normal use). Still have the engine, with 250,000 miles on it, waiting for another body.

The 1968 Camaro has always been one of my favorites (they scrapped the ‘67 vent windows, didn’t add the ‘69 bulges, and it can accomodate any engine/trans combo). If it’s a rust-free car (dream on) from the southwest, then it’s not so bad. The depth of the corrosion will be the killer, and ultimately the factor that determines whether the project is worthwhile. Don’t get caught up in the details like stereo and power windows until you’re sure the structure is solid, otherwise it’s just lipstick on a pig. You’ve also got to decide whether it’s worth the investment. A 307 with a powerglide isn’t worth the effort. A big block, or Z-28 302 definitely would be a better place to start. A 327 is borderline. If the engine’s not original, say a 350, it loses points unless it’s something hot (LT-1) that hasn’t been abused). Keep in mind that the added weight of the big block will adversely affect the handling. If you’re looking for something to enjoy in driving that requires more than just traveling in a straight line, the small block is preferable.

One little thing that’s gonna drive you crazy is headlights. The RS package came with hideway headlights, and the motors that flip the covers had a lot of issues.

Basic priorities:

1. original as possible
2. as rust free as possible
3. good engine/trans combination

Don’t let a shiny new paint job and set of hot wheels and tires influence you too much. That’s easy stuff to deal with towards the end. As I said, focus on the structure and powertrain to begin with. Keep in maind that regardless of what you go with, you’ll always have to deal with the fact that 1968 engines were designed to run on higher octane (leaded) gas than is available today. Without fuel additives or retarding the ignition timing you’ll be hearing a lot of self-destructive pinging.

Whatever you choose, good luck.

Q: how can i repair the hardtop of a 1968 camaro from rust?
i just got a 1968 camaro, but the top is rusted it has hoes in some parts of the top.. mosrtly on the sides. they told me that i might have to get a new top. is that true… how would i do about doing this and from what car should i get it from?

A: sand it down…get to the holes and pits. then if you have access to lead body bars that is the best way to repair it. If not…then ugggg…bondo. you can also get some sheet metal and cut the bad parts out and weld the new stuff in. since it’s a classic I’d suggest have a reputable body shop do the work. It will cost you but it will be well worth it.

Q: what kind of motor can i put into a 1968 camaro?
i ran across a 1968 camaro but it was a v6 it has no motor or trany.. im thinking of putting an engine in there, but i whant to put a big motor something very very fast! what kind of motor can i put or can i put a big motor in there?

A: its only a mater of money,how much do you want to spend,454 ,500 etc

Q: how much money overtime do you think it will take to maintain a 1968 camaro?
i will probably be getting this car in a while from now and im wondering how much its going to cost me to keep this car running its a 1968 camaro

A: hey it would depend on how good of shape it is in.
you should try to get the one in good shape that way u will know all u need to pay for is the amount as a normal car!!!!!!!!
getting a really used car may result in a lot of money or work

Q: What is the difference between a 1967 Camaro from a 1968 camaro?
K I want to know the difference between the two. I already know about the wing windows on the 67 but not on the 68 and that the vin number on the 67 is on the door pillor and on the 68 its on the dash. If you know any difference let me know

A: The better under dash ventilation system which meant no vent windows is a good one for ‘68 compared to the first year ‘67.
The taillights are different. The front grill and parking lights are different but i can never remember which is which. I apologize. Between the hidden headlights and stuff they had a few different configurations those 2 years.

But,
The ‘67 had a Z/28 option that you could order. It was literally the letter code on the ordering form! But they didn’t call the car a Z/28.
Later on, Chevy marketing thought the ‘67 option code Z/28 had a cool ring to it…so in ‘68 if you ordered that code you got emblems on the car stating is was in fact a Z/28! Chevy made the same DZ-302 Z/28 engine from ‘67 to ‘69.

Here’s the most knowledge,
The BIGGEST difference between a ‘67 and a ‘68 Camaro is more than just Camaro. It effected every car sold in the united states in 1968.
In 1968, the Federal Government made it mandatory for all car’s sold in the United States to have SIDE MARKER LIGHTS!
Those little marker lights on the side of the front fender and rear quarter are 1968 to present day for every car! Therefore, the 1967 Camaro has NO marker lights at all on the side but the ‘68 to present day does!
No car before ‘68 did.

I’ll throw this in,….1986 was the first year the government made the rear, middle, ‘3rd brake light’ mandatory!
That may not interest you…until you find yourself looking at mid ’80’s IROC Camaro’s or Monte Carlo SS’s or Vette’s or T/A’s or etc. etc.

Q: How much does it cost to rebuild a 1968 Camaro?
I mean like buying the car(bout$8000) and then start from frame up. every little thing. pretty much new everything except for the good body parts. with a 502 crate engine?

A: That will be a very high $ resto

The engine along will run you between $7,000 and 12,000 depending on which 502 crate you want.

Then a transmission to handle that will run you around $1500 for 3 speed auto, around $3,000 if you want a 5 or 6 speed man

Rear end will neeed to be re worked at about $1000

In a uni body car like the camaro with that much torque you would need sub frame connetors and a min of a 6 point roll bar to keep from twisting car up. Thats about $300 in parts but if you get someone to weld the roll bar in thats another $500 in labor min.

Then to hook that kinda power you would need good aftermarket suspension at the price of around $1500

All of this is on top of the norm resto parts and prices for the interior, body, etc whick will run around $10,000

So 8,000 for car, $10,000 for gen resto, then $15,000 for your performance mods

So around $33,000 and thats with you doing most of all the labor

Q: What is the best way to drain old gas out of my 1968 camaro?
The car does run, but I can’t get a straight answer on how long the gas has been in there.

A: Why not just fill it up with fresh, hi-test gas? That would allow you to run all the old stuff out safely. If the car is “running” as you say, it won’t hurt it to do that. Just drive it “nice” till all the gas mix is gone.

Q: Is it possible to put airbags in a 1968 Camaro?
Just wondering if you can do that.

A: It depends if you’re talking about supplemental inflatable restraints or air ride suspension. There are several companies that make air ride kits for first gen Camaro’s, so that ones easy. If you are talking about supplemental inflatable restraints then it would be possible I guess, but extremely impractical. The biggest problem wouldn’t even be putting in a air bag equipped steering column or the passenger dash, it would be getting the front impact sensors to work correctly in a car that has a steel bumper, no impact absorbing material behind the bumper, no crumple zone, etc. Cars with airbags also have “5 mph” front bumpers for a reason. If you were to install airbag impact sensors in the front of a ‘68 Camaro, the airbags could and likely would deploy at the slightest impact, like bumping a parking block. Airbags are also computer controlled. The impact sensors send signal to the ECM, which sends signal to the airbags themselves to deploy, so you’d also have to find an ECM compatible with whatever airbags you used and have everything except for the airbag control flashed out. Monetarily it would be a no win proposition. You’d be looking at major money to do it on the front side and also major devaluation of the car on the back side.

Q: Where can i buy a front grill for my 1968 Camaro RS?
i need a black grill for the front of it, i broke it in a small accident recently and i cant find one anywhere. i live in iran. so i was thinking of somewhere which i can buy it from in the US or Canada and have it shipped to iran.

A: Take a look at this place.
I used to live a few blocks away from it and used to get all my parts for my 1983 Camaro…

http://www.gmsports.com/

I’m not sure about intenational shipments.
They’re located in the San Jose area of California near San Francisco.

G M Sports Salvage
1964 Oakland Rd
San Jose, CA 95131-1606
(408) 432-8498
If you know someone here in the states, preferably in California,
maybe they could contact them to get the part(s) you need and then they could ship them to you.

Good luck!

is a 351 mustang a gt?

A: Not necesarilly It could be Mach I,a Gt.You got to check the VIN number,and use a Chilton’s manual .They’ll tell you what kind of Mustang you have.Personally I’ll take 351 Cleveland over 351 Windsor engine.

What motor oil do I use for a 1969 Mustang fastback, 351 cleveland v8?

A: just like any other engine, the more miles the heavier grade.. new engine 10-30, medium miles 10-40 and I like 20-50 racing oil for higher miles and use Delo diesel spec oil for the zinc..

Q: How can (and how much) I convert a 1969 mustang lhd (left hand drive) to right hand drive so i can drive in uk?
Its a 1969 Ford Mustang and I wanted to change its Left Hand Drive to Right hand because I’ve been told that the insurance would be crazy with a right hand when driving in uk…
any help would be appreciated

A: It would be cheaper to pay for the insurance.

You would need to pay a custom car shop several thousand dollars. Everything would need to be custom fabricated. Nothing off the shelf. Seems there isn’t much market for right hand drive conversion kits here for 40 year old cars.

I would say $20,000 minimum to pay a custom car shop to do this for you.

Q: Does anybody know where I can find a 1969 mustang in poor condition in Colorado?
I’m 16 my brother and I need a 1969 Mustang body in poor condition so I can fix it up and turn it into my dream car. Needs to be in Colorado

A: You could always try ebay, you can narrow it down to your area & the particular year model that you’re after. You may be able to find something rough but roadworthy (just!!) for about $2000 if you are patient. Not too much money I always wanted a 68 one myself…

Q: what size tires and wheels can you fit on a 1969 mustang?
can i fit 18″x9″ rim with a 275 tire and 18″x8″ rim with 245 tire on my 1969 mustang im willing to bring it out flush with the wheel well?

A: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PHP-01201/

I’d invest in one of those if you are gonna be putting wheels on more vehicles later on otherwise I’d go talk to a local tire/wheel shop and they would be able to help you with the sizes.

Q: What is the Spark Plug Gap for a 1969 mustang?
I have a 1969 Mustang Grande addition with a 351 engine. i need to know the gap setting for the spark plugs.

A: Here’s what it IS (not “what it should be”). The gap, assuming the engine is original and unmodified, is .035. That engine would barely run and the plugs would always foul if the gap was .017. That’s just completely wrong.

Q: 10 reasons why a 1969 mustang fastback is a good car?
okay so for my English class i need to write ten reasons why my parent should by me a 1969 mustang fastback.. i need to be realistic and stuff so if you could help me out id mean alot!!

A: lets see, it’s popular and expensive, wait, that’s reasons not to get it, I could easily give you 8 more for not getting it.. it’s 38 years old… maybe it’s not such a good car after all. Did I mention the brakes and handling aren’t that great, 38 year old technology you know…

Q: Would a 302 engine fit in a 1969 mustang?
I am wondering if a 1981 ford 302 engine would work in a 1969 mustang?

A: What is it out of, Mustang didn’t offer a 302 in ‘81,they used the small 255..4.2 with only 120 hp…Your 250-six is a better engine..

“Following the second oil crisis in 1979, the 302 cu in (4.9 L) was dropped in favor of a new 4.2 L (~256 cu in) V8 due to its better fuel economy. It was the only V8 offered in 1980 and 1981″

Q: is it possible to upgrade seats for my 1969 mustang coupe?
I’m looking to replace my old bucket seats to some more updated pair of seats, not sure if its possible or if it can be done with minimal modifications. Any tips on what year of mustang seats i can use?

A: Get whatever seats you like, flip them over and drill the frame to accept the ‘69 seat track. This will only work for non-power seats. That’s how I put Fox-body seats into my ‘67 Mustang

Q: Connected battery backwards, smelled smoke, Now What? 1969 Mustang?
For maybe 3 seconds I like an idiot connected the cables wrong on my brand new battery. I smelled smoke and disconnected the battery quickly. I opened the car door and smoke came out too.

Its a 1969 Mustang and I have a battery shutoff installed on the ground. I have to insert a Red key to compete the ground and to start the car. The key was NOT in and the coil was also unplugged.

I did not try to start it either. The cables were only connected for 3 seconds. What should I do?

A: I will almost guarantee you that you fried the alternator at least, why it smoked inside the car I don’t know but that doesn’t sound good.

Q: My 1969 Mustang Mach 1 has been sitting in a garage for 20 years with all liquids drained. Where do I begin?
My dad just gave me his 1969 Mach 1, and has told me that he drained it knowing that it would sit for a while. Well it’s been 20 years, and now that I able to start fixing it, I’m not sure where I should start. I want this up and running as soon as possible. I hope to use this as my project car and begin restoring it. Are there books that would help with this?

A: First thing to do is to pull the spark plugs out and get some oil into the cylinder. Spray or pump some oil in each cylinder before you try to rotate the motor. You should put a little in for a couple of days, so that you can make sure the rings don’t seize. Then I would rotate it by hand so that you can feel if it is right. Fill the crank case too before you try to turn it. Leave the plugs out too so that it can push out the oil and doesn’t try to squeeze it if you put too much in. Sounds like fun. Do the work it needs before you get it running because once it is running you will be turning the wheel and not a wrench.

Q: Would this be silly to do to a 1969 Ford Mustang?
Would it sound ridiculous to put turndowns on a 1969 Ford Mustang with a 302 engine? Or… Would it be a fun thing to do while saving for electronic cutouts?

A: turndowns are only an appearance item and add little to your exhaust system, so guess if thats the look you want go for it…personally i do not think they suit a mustang.
electric exhaust cutouts are a good installation for both sound and performance flow through.
cheers 04 cobra

Q: Do you love the classic 1969 ford mustang and why?
If you love the 1969 ford mustang tell me why and if you have one tell me what it looks like. If you dont have one then tell me what your mustang would look like if you had one. The best answer will get 10 points.

A: I love the 1969 Mustang the most out of all of the Mustang models that is the year that still had the style of the 1st 2 generations but was the size of a full-size muscle car not the little pony car it started out to be. If I were to get one I would paint it a candy black with 3 stripes following the curve of the body their colors in order would be White, Silver, Dark Grey. It would have a low profile Aero hood scoop which would feed the monster of an engine a 514. It would have a 2-tone leather interior that is black and white and a license plate border that said “Here Hemi Hemi”

Q: dodge challenger?
next year i will be leasing a new car after my bmw 530i lease is up. currently i have two cars in my mind one is ford mustang gt, the other one is the upcomming 2008 dodge challenger. i know that after driving a bmw, its going to be depressing to drive any of these two cars, however i am tired of paying over $900 on payments. so which car should i get 2008 ford mustang gt which is 4.6 v8 about 300hp or the 2008 dodge challenger which is 6.1 v8 about 450hp and cost between 25,000-30,000. i need honest answers from people who have own mustangs and other american cars.

A: I think your in for a difficult transition but i would go with the challenger they are both decent looking outside but the ford is very cheep inside and from what Ive see the challenger looks like it will have at least a decent interior. the 450Hp only helps its case, plus everyone and there mother doesn’t own one. Mustang’s are a dime a dozen.

Q: Dodge Challenger….?
I know the new Dodge Challenger SRT-8 came out, but does anyone know if Dodge is going to make:

a) A cheaper version with less power
b) A convertible version

Thanks!

A: The ‘08 will be SRT8 only.
The ‘09 will come out with the Hemi engine as well as the 3.5 litre V6. There are also plans for a convertible version as well as 4.0 litre engine ( the new Phoenix motor replacing the current 3.5 L V6 ) coming out around 2010 or 2011

Q: How can you make the 2009 dodge challenger srt8 weigh less?
What parts can you remove from the 2009 dodge challenger srt8 to make it significantly lighter?

A: Nothing will make a big difference. You’ll hear some people say remove the spare tire, take out the back seat, stuff like that – taking 100 lbs off the car won’t make a noticeable difference in a car that weighs more than two tons. And what would you do if you removed the spare and then had a flat?

If you want a lighter car, buy a Mustang or wait for the Camaro.

EDIT – as I expected, you did get an idiot that thought removing the back seat would be a good idea. You will NEVER notice the difference in performance, and now your 5 seat coupe seats 2. Moron.

Q: What will the sticker price be on the new Dodge Challenger? Is it rear wheel drive?
I had two questions about that new dodge challenger. What will the sticker price be and is it rear wheel drive?

A: around 40 thousand and it is rear wheel drive,it should be a nice one,good luck.

Q: How much would insurance be on a 2010 r/t dodge challenger?
It would be a 2010 r/t dodge challenger for a 19 year old female . No at-fault accidents or criminal record or anything. How much would the insurance be? Any ideas would help. Also, would she need a cosigner if she had no credit history but had cash for a down-payment? Any way around the cosigner because her dad doesn’t want her to get one haha thanks!

Q: Is there a company that could make a replica 1970 Dodge Challenger body?
Me and my friend are both going to find broken down versions of our dream muscle cars, and I was wondering if instead of me having to find a rusted out shell of a car to fix if there was a company that could just make a replica body of a 1970 Dodge Challenger.
I could buy a new car for the price it’d cost to to this, but that’s not the point. I could buy several new cars for what I’d be willing to spend on this, but a new car does not have the nostalgia, class, or culture that comes with a vintage car.

A: Phone Boyd Coddington in CA. Those guys can make anything inside a couple of months.

Q: why 2009 dodge challenger front seats gets hot when the car is running ?
I have 2009 dodge challenger & when the car is running the front seats gets hot, But the car does not have heated seats. what’s a problem & what should I do?
I don’t have heated seat on my car but the seats in front gets hot. How can I fix it?

A: You actually DO have heated seats.
It’s not an option on that car it’s factory standard equipped. You didn’t get a choice.
Read your owners manual and learn how to turn them off. Or maybe you actually have an electrical malfunction keeping them on when they shouldn’t be, in which case you should see your dealer for warranty repair.
In either case, NICE CAR DUDE!!!!!!!!!

Best of Luck!

Hi I am looking for places I should look to find a 1970 Dodge Challenger for cheap. It can be a hing of junk or whatever, needing work. Please let me know, thank you.

A: There are a lot of online sites that have some classic and muscle car listings. But the two that have the most are hemmings.com and carsonline.com. Most car collectors use them because of their reputation. If there is one available in the US, you’ll find it on one of them, or both.

Q: What Year was the best year for the Dodge Challenger?

A: Yes, that is one good thing about the challenger, it does have a large backseat. Four people should be comfortable.

Q: how much would a 2008 dodge challenger cost?
i really want a dodge challenger but they are expensive (almost $60,000) so how could i get a used one for around $20,000
i seen that but what difference does it have from the se and the r/t?…is it a big difference or what?

A: The new Challenger SE sells for about $21,000

http://autos.yahoo.com/dodge_challenger/

(edit)
Well, the SE has a 3.5L V8 with 250hp, the R/T and SRT8 have larger V8 engines and they have a few different features. If you really want a Challenger and can deal with a little less power, the SE was designed for you.

Q: What it the difference between the 1970 dodge challenger T/A and the R/T?
I cant quite figure out the difference between the 1970 dodge challenger R/T and the 1970 doge challenger T/A

but 1 more question. is the 1969 ford mustang mach 1 428 cobra jet ram air or the boss 420 better then each dodge challenger?
and what about the 1972 dodge charger

A: The Challenger was introduced in 1970 with two models:

BASE CHALLENGER
hardtop
SE formal hardtop
convertible

CHALLENGER R/T
hardtop
SE formal hardtop
convertible

The standard engine in the R/T was the 383 Magnum. Optional was the 440-4, 440 Six Pack, and 426 Hemi. The 340 was not available on the R/T, no matter what anyone tells you – they’re wrong.

The base Challenger could be had with the Slant 6 or the 318 standard. From there, you could get the 383-2 and the 383-4 (almost like an R/T incognito). The 340 also was available on the base Challenger (hardtop and ragtop only) as the 340 Performance Package . . . and this is where the T/A comes in.

As Dodge decided to offer the 340 package on the base Challenger, it only makes sense that the Challenger T/A package was offered on the base Challenger. This package – only available on the hardtop – came with a fiberglass hood similar to the 1969 A12 Super Bees and Road Runners, special striping, side-exit exhaust (except in CA, I believe), a special spoiler package, and a 340 engine with Six Pack carburetors, among other heavy-duty equipment. This model was produced to certify certain modifications legal for Trans-Am racing (get it? T/A? But Pontiac already dibs for the name). The front and rear tires were of different sizes – very unusual at the time – and was the best-handling Challenger of them all. Despite a 1971 advertisement showing the T/A would return, none were built.

Regarding your Mustang question, I’d say the CJ is equivalent to the Challenger’s Six Pack. Parts are much easier to find for the Mustang. The Boss 429 was practically hand-built, and in some ways it can’t be compared to the Challenger because of the modifications that were required for it to be built. However, bone-stock Boss 429 cars tended to disappoint road testers at the time because it wasn’t as fast as it looked (despite 13-second times, like a Hemi Challenger R/T). However, Boss 429s have been super-expensive for a very long time.

The 1972 Charger . . . depends on the model. There was the R/T replacement called the Rallye which had a 400 standard and could have a 340 and 440 optional (about 5 or so Six Packs were built before it was cancelled on the first week). You could also get the 440 on the SE. This was the first year for the low-compression engines, so 1971s tend to be more desirable but the 1972 have their own appeal and can still be fast.

Q: Where can I buy a 69 Dodge Charger grille insert for my 2009 Dodge Challenger?
I have a 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T and I have been looking online for a grille insert that resembles the old 1969 Dodge Charger headlight look, where the grille spans the entire front end and the headlights are behind the grille. Does anyone know if there is such a thing out there?

A: No one makes one there hoss. You will have to stick with the grill you currently have.

Q: Dodge challenger?
have had this car for 10 years, no problems. I go out today to start up, turns over but won’t start, No spark. Check for fuel issues no problem, getting gas to the cylinders. 318 ci. automatic, electronic ignition (no points). I replaced plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, and ballast resistor, still nothing. Could it be ignition module? Coil? How do you detemine if these are operating corectly. What else? Thanks for the help.

One additional detail, just went out and checked new ballast resistor (white porcelain on firewall) and it is extremely hot, I tried to crank car over for about thirty seconds. What does that mean?

A: Is the rotor turning in the distributor?

If so, most likely the problem is in the madnetic pickup in the distributor. If not, pull the distributor out and see if the gear on the shaft is broken.

A good gear on the distributor and the distributor not turning means you need a timing chain!!!
