Here is my garage find. It was my Great Uncles and he parked in my Grandpa's garage years ago. The tags are from 1972. Only 55,000 miles. A real "Q" code 428 convertible. Manual top, brakes, steering, deluxe interior, built the day before Thanksgiving 1968.
Looks to be in good shape. Very nice, :toocool::toocool:
Ya sure I will take it, where can I pick it up at?
Nice find, whats the story behind it?
Looks like the garage had a fire, or nearly. Lucky to save such a jewel.

Wow! What a nice ride. Very cool find and congrats!!
That is a great Uncle . Restore able no matter what the condition . Looks like you got a great car in that condition . These mustangs will go from the inside rails , floors , cowl sides . So if you want $500 I can pick it up soon . :3dSMILE:
Ever want to sell it, give me a shout :D .......

Your shittin me, he GAVE you that car? Does he not have an inkling what its WORTH?
GREAT score! ( even if it is a FERD ;) )
Those wheel covers have gotta go! .....Seriously, that is a lucky find!
You're a dog, you know that, dont you?
Nice find, good looking 'stang. Looks damn nice for being stored 37 years.
thats barn fresh at its best!!!
Wow I can't believe he GAVE it to you! That is very nice and in great shape. Rare car as well, I cannot believe people would know they have a car like that and not care about it and leave it in a barn. I am sure they have their reasons and some dont care about cars but I would flip out.
Great find! But I dont see in your post where it was "given" to you or that it has even been taken out of the garage....:rolleyes: Whats the deal? Is it yours or did you just find it in your relatives garage?....:confused:
Same question here?????? :confused:Quote:

Yes it really is a 'Q' code 428 convertible, and yes I did own it for a while. It had 55,000 miles and I bought it in a small town in Iowa and drove it home. It was one of the coldest trips I have ever made. Buying a convertible in October and driving it home - yes with the top down! Only stopped twice by the Hi-way Patrols!?!?!?!
My Great Uncle was a pilot with the U.S. Army Air Corps in WWII and was shot down and is listed as MIA. I never met him.
It really is my Gradfather's garage and my Dad and I had to clean out his property (7 of 8 lots on a half city block) after he died in 1993. We had just moved a '56 Pontiac out of that space when I decided to back the 'vert in and take some pics. The Pontiac went down to Nebraska.
After I got married, the Mustang ended up in Canada in about 1996 . Yes one of those things I guess! It needed some work, but was all there. I bought it for a song and sold it for about the same song. About $6 grand. Do I wish I had it today! I had a loan and had it about half paid off when I got married, but we needed money to buy a house and make payments. . . .??
Sorry to have gotten you all stirred up about this.
PEACE

Lets see, setting in an open shed with tire tracks leading in, couple cardboard boxes laying on the hood with no water damage, appears to have been recently washed and waxed. I call bull
i knew there was a reason i did`nt respond to this thread .. and one can tell those were scanned photos ;)
Paint looked too slick to have been a "barn find" and all 4 tires were up... shame on you!! :-)
Here's a real barn find.... The owner found it in a barn outside of Beresford, SD and is having us build it for him.... Man, in 45 years of Hot Roddin', I have never had the privilege of starting a project with a car this nice!!!! Walt, the owner, is doing quite well selling the original drive train, axles, wheels, etc. to defray some of the costs on the build....
Mach1 joe Open the Hood and take a Photo . I remember what them FE Fords Looked Like . I sure would Love to see a Photo of that Engine .
