So i'm searching for my next car and....

Up pops Tims car on some random car site....





To be clear, the search was ["Mustang" +1971] not, [ "Mustang" +hot +gay +sex +slave +car ]

yes, i'm getting a big body 71-73. No I don't know when; just that it's my next project.

What can I say I'm famous! It's probably due to Facebook selling any pictures you have posted on there site?

Hey Mike, there is a 71-73 big body for sale by Tim's. Not sure what they want though, Tim said it has been there a while.

Is it a fastback?

I'll take a pic next time I'm over by it and send it to you

Thanks Bud...

Yeah, it's a fast back (or a.k.a. solar panel).

There is a blue one, non fastback for sale in Swartz Creek, has been for a while. Has ugly gold rims, blue paint.

I've already had a 71 coupe. NEVER again, lol. I built that car to the sky and still every time I went to a car show I'd have some jack ass say how ugly the 71-73 coupes are. I don't mind the average dislike for the big bodies but not the hate for the coupes. I also couldn't count how many times I was asked if it was an AMC Javelin, lol.

I've done some photoshopping of a few years of fastbacks and I've decided that I can build any year fastback to the way I want but the older it gets the more expensive it gets.

The longer I wait, the more $$ I'll have but I'm going to wait for the perfect deal. My only real requirements are it's got to have workable rear quarters and if it's just a roller the body needs to be 75% or better. (I don't care about chrome because there will be very little of it when I'm done.)

I'n my opinion the 71/73 Coupes are uglier than a Mustang II

Well, Poo on you! You have to like what I like, it's "like" a rule on the internet or somthin....

Bringing out the inner redneck...





This is what I like....

Just an update, I can't find squat... Every mustang owner thinks they own a gold mine or owns scrap that they are trying to pass off as a car. I've driven close to 500 miles in the last week to look at cars that people "Swear on their mothers grace" is a great driveable project.

Blasphemy I know but I've broadened my search to any 65-73 fastback and ChevyII's and Novas. At this point it's whatever I find first is what I'll decide on.

Jess is pretty irritated that I might not get a mustang but I can't imagine paying 8 grand for a car that I have to tow home and replace every fender and quarter. What do you guys think?

you know what you really want. so keep lookimg for it and you'll find it.

Older trucks can still be found. You can blame those A holes over at Barret Jackson for ruining the Muscle Market for us Middle class people.

Isn't that the truth! Coincidentally, I just talked to a shop up here in BC, the guy has a 70Mach that he'll hang 2 new quarters on and make a rolling chassis for 5k. I'm going to go back later this week to talk about it and maybe some other options. He's got a metal finished 32 ford truck w/ engine for 7k. I walked into his shop and about fell on the floor it was so awesome.

Torinos are going for good prices lately, Mike. If it is any indication of the market, I know someone who went to the Kruse classic car auction in Auburn, IN. and he said that cars were not getting even close to what they were 2 years ago (or even last year). I hate what Barrett Jackson has done to the collector industry. Those guys inflated the price of classics (to help boost their TV ratings I think) and suckered most of those people who have too much money to know any better for what they were paying for. Now everyone thinks they've got a "Barrett Jackson quality" car. I hope the prices get reasonable again someday.
