I've hit 125 in my '69

You have a '69 Mustang Shelby GT500?

Nope. I bought a ‘69 Mustang Sportsroof (fastback) that the PO had campaigned as a hobby dragster. He put a built 351C and C4 it it replacing the mild 302 and FMX. He also traded the stock 8 inch rear for a 9 inch Dana Spooler geared to 4:11. He stripped the interior out of it.

I’m in the process of restoring it back to near stock (kept the 351 but replaced the C4 with an AOD and the Dana spooler to a period-correct 9-inch).

Right now it’s in the garage where I’m replacing the entire front end (both steering and suspension). While I’m at it I’m adding Wilwood disk brakes.

I’ve scoured the Internet for interior pieces and will add things like new door glass (1969 Mustangs came with glue-in door glass - one year only).

It’s not a Shelby - or even a Mach 1 but even in rough condition it’s a head turner and it goes like a raped ape!
