Don't scrap the coupe!!!!
Sell it as a roller. I would leave the stock 5.0 wiring harness in the coupe and buy one for the fastback. The money you get for the roller will offset the price of a new harness made for the swap. If you want some mustangs plus subframe conectors ( the grab a track brand ) pm me. [patriot]

Exactly, I'd put a stock motor back in it and sell it running. Look at what your going to use off the car and figure if you sell it as a roller or runner you can put the money towards other parts. You can't use the suspension or body parts, most of the interior won't be of any use to you so to chop the car up is pointless.

That's kind of true but with the rea end gone wiring harness gone and if I can't use the suspension I will also part it out and the int will be parted out then the car will just be sheet metal and glass so Probly cut it up and scrap what's left because I don't have the room to let it sit around and wait for a buyer and it will be to much time and money to put it back together again just to get little money for it my time is valuable and I would rather spend that time on the fast back and my other projects

Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :

That's where I come in and buy that sheet metal before u chop it up lol.. I'm hoping to buy a house within the next yr then I'll be lookin to buy a fastback too.. Ima fill up my garage and driveway with as many mustangs as possible.. Do u know what tranny your gonna go with on the fastback?

This.

Painless has a wiring harness to run fuel injection in a classic Mustang. The more you can leave the coupe intact and sell it complete, the more money you'll have for cool stuff on the fastback.

My friend has an 8.8 that you could throw under that thing, leave the wire harness in it and sell it as a roller. I'm sure if there's a serious buyer out there you can get them to give you a deposit on it and you'll have cash to get that aftermarket harness and some other needed goodies to get that beast running.

Maybe will see what exactly I'll need to keep it as full of a roller as I can.....
Where can I get a new wiring harness for the 66' part of the car? cause I don't think I want to use that 44 year old wiring harness. Painless also? So it would be two different aftermarket harnesses?

Posted by 50Reasons (Member # 6452) on :

I know what you mean Dana , I drove my coupe today cuz the weather was nice today but I hope the weather is nice this weekend so we can have the shop doors open when we work on the fast back. And yea I can't wait till the car is done either, Dana or does anybody know where I can buy an aftermarket hood fiberglass and maybe fenders also in fiberglass?

Mustangplus.com is a good source. They are kind of expensive sometimes though.

Posted by 68dustin (Member # 5388) on :

I bought my fiberglass hood from american mustang, its located in rancho cordova. It's better to just go in, instead of looking at there web site.

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

Looks like a great project bro! I REALLY wish I had space and funds to tackle a big project like this.

Just curious though, how'd you find this car? Was it on craigslist? Just wondering because I want to be prepared on how to find one when the time comes. [Wink]

Good luck with it and post lots of progress pics [patriot]

I've had friends say they liked it also my original plan was to paint it back to the original black car when it was a police car but with all the dings in the car I chose orange then had my neighbor back into the front and tried that but I think I failed lol
