Mustang Project?
This is driving me crazy..Does anyone remember a '65-'66 Mustang Project that was in Popular HotRodding about the early to mid '70's?? It had a 289cid/289hp build and Recarro seats...red of course...I'd love to find those back issues...just for those articles...any ideas would be appreciated

Did you do a search in there archives . But i did get some old editions on ebay but not this one in particular sounds like a pretty basic build though . Was it a custom body or specialty build of some type .

Bobby:
I did search their website; to no avail...also, looked at e-bay..close.. but not quite. If I recall correctly; it was somewhere in the early/mid '70's ... we now would refer to the project as a resto-mod. I just liked the package as a whole. Sure hope someone can come up with an answer.

Rick alot better builds and suspensions for the mustangs out there now . 18 inch wheels can be had if you want them . The article is a great one i'm sure but things are so much better now . Do you have a Stang that your working on .

I do like that Street Fighter version...as far as having a Mustang now...NO;sorry to say...just missed a deal on one. But; I'm still optomistic I can find what I need. Truth is, I only have a '97 Wrangler as a bargaining chip...very little money!! Most all of my money was used up trying to pay for my doctors.(cancer)...and since being Medically retired..really fixed income..it's a squeeze to keep my dreams going...however; I am not giving up. Somewhere there is a good 'stang I can use as a daily driver and work on one piece at a time.
Thanks for helping I really appreciate it!!!

Rick sorry to hear about cancer. My my died of it, my mother in law lost a breast to it, and my Dad lost his vocal cords to it. It's a crappy disease that I hope you have kicked! Hang in there there are lots of stangs still out there, waiting for you to come along at the right time!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
