Common sense car enthusiasts. Building what they like and makes them happy. My kind of guys 👍
Just saw your comment...Yes I'm a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. program...don't build a crazy HP engine and go for every ounce of power. Just enjoy the car and the build. Thanks for the comment and watching! Keep an eye out for the next video...should be soon
@@mustangmike5324this ❤ I love this. Im sitting on a 98 mustang 3.8 Shes nothing exciting to most but to me she's a dream and i love keeping her around as long as i can. She makes me happy. She has good paint and im working on trying to make her a...well as close to new as possible hahaha.
I own a 70 Mach I I bought from the original owner in 1978 and it still has the original yellow paint with the black striped hood with the 351C4V, 4 speed, shaker hood, window louvers, A/C, hood locks, fold down rear seat and I know that car inside and out and the work you did on your 70 is absolutely amazing and I doubt there is another one like it anywhere and the best part is you drive it and enjoy it, which is exactly what a car is for.
Thanks for the comment!! I like all the early ones, but the 70 has a special place in my heart. Sounds like you have a special ride too!! Thanks for watching!!
Same here I have a 70 Mach1 I bought from original owner on 9/19/73 and still own it today and still sports its original Medium Lime Metallic factory paint. 351C 4 speed with louvers spoilers and Ford Factory Magnum 500s. I bought it when I came home from Vietnam. I worked at a Ford dealer in 69 and 70 and they had a few on the lot but I was only making $2 an hour and couldn't afford one at the time. its a keeper thats for sure.
They’re both cool in their own way! I like them both! There’s a company in Orlando Fl.called Revology.They build mustangs with brand new steel 1965-1968 bodies,but with modern,(coyote) engines and modern transmissions,modern brakes and suspension and modern comfort and technology in the interior! They also have the reliability of a modern mustang! I would LOVE to get one! The only problem is they range in price from $175,000-$225,000 depending on what model and options you choose! But if i had the money,i would buy one!
Those are really nice, but if you know a bit about car, you can built a really nice one for half the price
69 forever
Is that the mach-1?
@@JULIOHERNANDEZ-cy7sq They are both Mach I models but different years! I agree with Diego that the 1969 model is the best looking one! 4 headlights, rear panel (faux) air scoops etc.
So much I can say. I want to keep it pithy... Restomod minimum on a Mustang: aluminum radiator, OD Transmission, rack and pinion steering, 4 wheel disc brakes.
This gentleman, who did these cars, deserves respect. Impressive work. My favorite of all he has done is the color of the 1970. I think that is the best blue color I have seen on a car. I want to call that "Royal Blue" like the color on the Boss 429 "Royal Maroon."
Thx Classic Owner, we appreciate the compliment 😎. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the comment. Both cars are pretty awesome! The older I get, I like refinement. Thanks for checking the channel out!!
the baddest 1970 Ive seen in a very loooong time spot on
Thank you for your kind words! I poured my heart and soul in that build!! Thanks for watching!!
I LIKE THE HOOD CABLES ON THE 69 AND LOVE THE GREEN LANTERN AVOCADO GREEN/BLACK COLOR. NOW, I DEMAND YOU PUT THOSE CABLES BACK ON THE HOOD!
OKAY JOHN🤣
Imagine if his hood flew off !
I'd keep the cables, they look great and it's a 69 man !!
Actually the 1969 Mach 1 was available with a 428 Cobra Jet.
You are correct...Thanks for that...I knew there were 428 drag pack SCJ's. Thanks for watching and the correction!!!
Love the white Capri and I'm not a blue man but that blue on that 70 mustang looks so right and all the other work you did to it looks so good 👌 awesome job and like always God bless 🙌 👏
Thank you for the kind words and comment! Thanks for checking out the channel!! p.s. kind of miss the ole Capri!🤙
Great job fellers! The cars both look awesome! 😎🤟👍
Need to do one on a SS2👍
Great job! I enjoyed it, and the info was spot on. I have had a 69 sportsroof since Hogh School in the early eighties, and I am a little prejudiced but I think the 1969 was bar far the better of the two years.
I get...we all have our favorite model Mustang. I think they are all cool. Even the Mustang 2 models. Farrah Fawcett always made that car look good!😁 Thanks for watching!!
Nice vid fellars. ‘70 Boss ‘9 in white would be my all time bucket list car!!
That would be a sweet ride. How about a 70 boss with the drivetrain out of a GT500🤔
@@mustangmike5324 I’d maybe do up a Boss302 with the 5.8, but I’d lose sleep doing it to a super rare Boss ‘9. 🤣
🔵I LIKE THE AVOCADO GREEN MACH1 BETTER EVEN THOUGH IS NOT COMPLETLY STOCK. I HAD ONE JUST LIKE IT AND SAME COLOR, BUT THE REAR LIGHT PANEL ON MINE WAS BLACK TO GO WITH THE HOOD. AND THE BLACK ON THE HOOD AND REAR LIGHT PANEL WAS A FURRY BLACK MATERIAL. MINE WAS A 351 BUT DON'T REMEMBER WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 69, IF IT WAS A WINDSOR OR CLEVELAND. MINE WAS STOCK AND IF I HAD NOT TRADED IT IN FOR THE 72 MUSTANG SPRINT I WOULD'HD KEPT IT STOCK.🔴
I've owned first gen Camaros and other classics and struggled with how far to go with the personalization (degree of restomod). I just bought a 70 convertible mustang that I will keep forever and it will eventually include a mix of mostly period correct updates that the car never had but that I like the look of (most likely a tribute car), along with a few modern upgrades. I like what you guys have done with both cars here.
At the end of the day...do the mods and things that makes you happy! I love all the old cars, but something was always missing. The new S197 and S550 chassis is awesome and bring a new feel to the Mustang brand. I think at the end of the day, fuel injection is the only way to go on any car. Makes the driving experience some much better. Thanks for watching!!
I owned a 69 Mach1. They also came with a 428 CJ.
Yep...just found out. Knew the had a drag pack, but not mach1's. Thanks for the correction and watching!!
Both are absolutely beautiful but I can’t get over that color blue and the way the 70 looks like with that blue with the black stripe omg 😱 🔥🔥
Thanks donavan! We appreciate the compliment. The color is Kona blue and it looks even better in person :) Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the compliment!! It definitely has a presence...one time at the motorrama at AMS, I was in the late model area...really didn't notice it was old till you walked up on it! Was one of my goals on the build. Thanks for checking it and the channel out!!
Love both but that 1970 is hot! It’s gorgeous. Why can’t ford make a modern car that looks like that? All the young -ins with their “older guy” comments lol. I’m 52 and I think he looks as good as his car.
Looking good!!
Thank you!!! I try to keep myself in some kind of shape🤪 Happy you like the channel!!
Love the 1969! Hate ABS! Lol!
What about fuel injection? 😁 Thanks for watching!!
The favorite mustang I ever owned was a 1962.
Nice ride love the 70's restomod. If I ever win the lottery I will look you up!
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
Update: after TKO instal in 2004 which resulted in an unacceptable drive shaft angle even with the trans touching the top of the tunnel I have discovered the fix..The brand new Tremec TKX state of the art 5 speed ! Which will indeed fit in a 69 Mach 1 with ( mild modifications ) to the tunnel ring and shifter hole. Was able to achieve a 4 inch from center of output shaft to top of tunnel clearance ! So even with a seriously dropped Mach it still maintains an acceptable drive shaft angle! AND The TKX shifts like a dream ! BEST $3,000 I have ever spent on my car !!!!!
That's awesome news!! I was wondering if that new trans was a good as I've heard. Thanks for the update on that...Happy to hear that you got your ride like you want it!!
Gorgeous cars. We're going through a full restomod project with our '70 on our channel. It will land between the two levels you have here and hopefully just as neck breaking. Question on the 70, what wheels are those? Love the look and stance on it. Thank you for sharing these cars with us.
Thank you! The wheels used were for a 94-04 Mustang. They are Rovos 18x10.5 and 18x9. I went this route because of wheel selection. Didn't want a custom offset. The rears are tight, but work just fine without any major modification to the wheel openings. Just rolled the quarters. Understand that I did get the rear axle cut down so the wheels would fit, but best I remember the stock 70 9" rear is about the same width. Thanks for checking out the channel. Just subscribed to yours...will check it out!! Enjoy the build!!
@@mustangmike5324 Thank you very much for replying, sharing the info and for subscribing to our channel. Definitely appreciative all of those. I'll look into those wheels as I think you're spot on about the axle and we don't have any plans on modifying it but I don't have an issue with rolling the fenders if needed for the right wheels. Especially having it done before paint. Now that I have more time tonight, I'm going to check out more of your videos and sub as well. We look forward to engaging with you on any of our episodes. Thanks for following us on the journey.
@@SpiritedWrenchers Don't know that you watch the 70 build. I talked about the track width. I used the 8.8 out of the 14 and had it cut down. Pretty sure it was the same width as stock. The front is another story. I used the k member from the 14 and shortened the track width to fit the wheels. Not sure what stock is and I didn't measure after the modification. They list the offsets on LMR? Could be on american muscle...
Thanks for watching Spirit'ed Wrenchers😎
That blue with the black accents looks beautiful, and that white Capri was sweet, reminds me of an 89' LX 5.0 I had .
Thank you for the comment!! I miss the Capri...it was an awesome car!! Thanks for watching!!
One year there both great hot rods there work's of automotive art I love to ehiter one
Thanks for watching John Wesley Collins 😎
Thanks for your comment! They are both awesome cars!!
What the difference NOTHING, their both amazing vehicles, LONG LIVE FORD
Best comment ever!! Thanks for watching!!
Just got my 2022 Coyote with a 10R80 transmission. I wish I could have seen the build of this car because I'm headed in that direction. Right now I'm looking for suspension options or maybe roastershop chases. Wiring is the first tackle though so awaiting the arrival on the ford performance control pack. Any recommendations for me? Doing research at the moment before I start ordering too many parts and blowing my budget. I'm just a military retiree looking to for fill my dream.
Sounds like an awesome way to go. I just bought a mach 1 with the 10r80. That is one bad combo. As far as what I can do to help...seems like you got it figured out. The chassis is where I wish I could help. Seems the roaster shop would be the best, but it starts to get expensive. I used what I could off the 14. The stock suspension, no matter how much you spend...it's still a Falcon front end. Fat man and others make good options. Just get one that gives you the best bang for the buck. Good luck with the build!! Should be one bad ride. It will test you, but just keep moving Ford!!😂
Beautiful cars. I like what you have done with the 70. Honestly, what is the price to build one of that spec?.... I believe it should be easier and cheaper to build the second time around too.
To do this type of project is not for just anyone. It takes years of experience to take on a project of this size. There have been attempts, but not like this...not even close! The overall cost was not that bad, but the man hours is what would cost the most. Most cars of this type would be a $300,000 plus build at a good shop. Spent over 3 years of my life on this and I'm happy it's over. Don't ever want to do another!!! Thanks for watching!!!
what kind of bumper is that on the restomod?? looks amazing
I used the bottom portion from a 2012 mustang that cervini's makes. Had to make a frame and add metal, but it has a similar shape to the 70 front end. Thanks for watching!!
Are you willing to tell me the name of the blue that you used on the 70. I love it and want to use it along with a black twotone on my 70 thunderbird
Kona Blue, thanks for watching.
Your channel is my favorite to watch, i love the work that you do, when do we get to see the work on the bronco?
@@derekfetzer6294 That's a great question! We're not sure how that one is playing out yet. There have been a few hold ups on that one, so we'll just have to see what happens. We really appreciate the compliment and stay tuned 👍🏻
I`ll take the `69 thank you:)
Thx for watching Solitaire. :)
Did you buy a wrecked 2014 mustang to get all suspension and motor/trans from. Or multiple parts from various cars?
I used everything from the 2014! This kept the cost down. Will say that get ready to modify everything!! I was over it after 2 years!! Thanks for watching!
Love both of those cars. Is that a custom made lower front valance on the 70? I’m restoring a 70, that is sharp.
Sorry I just saw this...the valance is from a 10-12 Cervini's part. Has the basic shape. Took about 40 hours to mod and mount. Can always remove and go back to original. Thanks for watching!!
if you could give a general cost of what it took to get that 1970 to this point would you say plus or minus 50K in upgrades?
im new to the community and just looking to learn more
Thanks for watching Brandon, If you want a more in depth video of the 70 check out our video that highlights that build. Mike also talks about the build in depth in the video. I'm sure Mike will answer this question also.
I kind of covered it on another comment. Be surprised of the cost, but it's the labor that most can't stand. Find 2 cars that fit your build and the rest of the cost is not that much. You want believe the amount of modification it takes...I was so burned out. Hope this helps a little. Trust me in saying...you'll wish you never started😁
@@mustangmike5324 Appreciate it my guy, sorry i am so late to the conversation
Love it. What color is that on the 70 ?
Kona blue
ricardomartinez, Is call ugly blue
How did you make that front bumper?
The front facia is from a 2012 mustang. If I remember correctly, it's from Cervini's. It has a shape that's close to the 70. Thanks for watching!!
I really didn't answer your question correctly...I used the 70 front valence and made a frame out of 3/16" round stock to attach the Cervini's valence. Filled in the rest with rolled 16 gage metal and used flexible panel bond to fill in the gaps. Took about 20 hours to make it look right.
The ‘15 mirrors…..Very sleek!! Is that Kona Blue?
Yes the color is Kona Blue. Thanks for watching Gearbox Geek and check out the video of the 70 build. I think you might enjoy it. It 😎
@@grayhairgarage2710 Will do!
@@ShelbyBikeBoy Those mirrors were a pain, but they fit the car perfectly. Well worth it! Thanks for checking out the channel!!
@@mustangmike5324 I concur….the angle of the door sheetmetal must be the same, unless you had to shim the mounting surface. Either way, good form! 💪🏻
The blue mustang should be the new model for 2023 it looks retro but it looked real nice
I appreciate your comment. That was exactly what I was going for...I had this car in a sea of late models and it blended right in. Thanks for checking out the channel!!
Love both the cars, but the green one isn’t a restomod in any way. Restomod = restore & modernize.
Modern trans and ac components. Plus some ignition upgrades. Not real sure what you mean? These are modern mods, but to each their own. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for watching CarsNQue!
@@mustangmike5324 all was available in 69 aside from the trans. Modernize as in fuel injection, ecu driven, coil over suspension, etc. Truthfully both beautiful cars and I’d probably lean towards the 69 if given the option but you honestly can’t go wrong.
Love the 69 best. That's me 🐎
The 69 is one clean ride. Have to say...probably one of the best out there. Shame it just sits...Thanks for watching!!
I think that the old guy needs to get himself a a suv 🚙 or a mini van ! With soccer dad stickers on it lol 😆
Thx for all the comments Terrance Mabry 🤣, we appreciate you watching the video. Hey which one is the old guy?😁
The 69 is a much better looking car than the 70. The rear end and vents on the side make it alot better looking. I like the headligjts better too. I would never complain about a 427 or 428 upgrade over a 390. I understand the 5 speed instead of the 4 speed, especially if it has lower gears. The 70, is not my cup of tea at all. Besides being an inferior year, all the nonsense added to a great car really turns me off. I do enjoy seeing classic cars turned into modern cars.
We appreciate the comment Greg .hannah, everyone has different tastes and that's reflected in all the different kinds of builds. Some love it and some don't but at the end of the day the owner loves it😁. Thanks for watching we appreciate the feedback 👍🏻
That blue one, wow
I say the same thing everytime I open the shop up! It has a presence! Thanks for checking out the channel!!
@@mustangmike5324 I got a 2012 gt Kona blue, can’t help but see how much similar your 1970 Kona has with it but with a hint of the old 1970 stang
The green mustang do you sell 69.
The 69 is still around...haven't gotten around to fixing it. Thanks for watching!!
The ‘70 looks goofy. Looks like someone is trying to make an old car look modern. The ‘69 is bad ass.
Well...Thanks, I guess. That was the look I was going for and while some may not like the look, others like the car. Thanks for watching!
My GOD, wish the paint on my 70 looked that good
Thank you for the comment. The oaintnis not perfect, but is pretty good for a $1200 paint job. You can do a pretty good job in your garage. Just remember that 95% of the work is prep. Thanks for watching!!
@@mustangmike5324 I painted my Dark Atlantic Blue Metallic 2000 Saleen Speedster in my garage in June of 2020. I started in May 2019 and It took 13-months of "prep-work", including building the paint booth. The clear coat was the tricky part. Took me 40-hrs to paint it (including 3-hrs to fix a paint run. Then back-out the car and set up the booth for the bumpers, side scoops and speedster covers). I was in a rush to finish it in time to drive it around the NASCAR Kentucky Speedway special event. I worked 8hrs at work then rushed home and worked on it for 17hrs straight, sleep for 6hrs, then worked on it for 23hrs straight. By Saturday morning 7am I was hanging the rear bumper cover and my fingers were sticking to the clear coat. Finger prints are still there to this day. I had to be at the track by 11:30am. All I had to do was reassemble and my wife was begging me to stop at this point. This also included changing all four wheels. But I finished the job in time. Word of advice to anyone reading this; never rush a paint job!
@@mustangmike5324 I painted it myself for about $1600 and it took over a year. This price includeds all the sandpaper, tools, paint guns, and material to building a paint booth. Which is ironic because I didn't want to pay Macco for a quick $800 paint job. My gawd, next time, just take it to Macco.
@@Cobra428SCJ True that!!!🤣
Wonder why I am getting a lot of these videos suddenly in my feed. Really starting to hate them. My 9F02R, purchased June 1969, has been on stands in my garage for 10 years now with "I'll get to it one of these days". 1960-70s they were just cars. We drove them swapped parts & did mods without a lot of thought of where the collector's mindset would be 50 years later. Didn't matter what make, most owners made the car "their" car to what they could afford in many cases. Few kept orginal pieces but a lot were just tossed away. I've always had a distaste for the "date correct" because I have thought that the vehicle is really defined by the owner's influence and its history would not be truthful without those owner's input. Other item is that the factories pumped out cars and they didn't let small mixups interfer with production lines and build quotas. Shit happens & let the dealer worry about it. I saw cars come off the transporter and go directly into bodyshops and the customer told there was a factory delivery delay..... A week later the customer got their "brand new" vehicle. I believe it was Shelby who stated " I built these cars to be driven, hard, not parked locked in some garage". Its history IS that car.
No time like the present to get on that ride. Do it the way you want. I obviously don't care about numbers matching cars too. I want the car to be a nice driver. The one thing I always hated was that Mustang's were built on a falcon chassis...junk IMO! Thanks for watching!!
@@mustangmike5324 Unfortunately current back injury makes doing almost anything impossible.
@@10susan10 That stinks!! I wish you a speedy recovery!! Hopefully all will be well soon!!!
That 70 is my dream car… super nice job…
Thank you!! This car has outperformed my expectations!! Been perfect from day one! Happy to finally get the tune done and it now is a dream to drive. Way better than a factory 70! Just a perfect blend IMHO! Thanks for the comment!
69 come with a 428 Cobra jet
No...originally a 390 car. Thanks for watching!
We don’t need no stinking marker lights. All they gonna see are my taillights
I hear ya!! Thanks for watching!! 🤟
Beautiful Cars! What Blue color is that 70 ??? Awesome.
Kona blue...love the way it flops in different light! Thanks for watching!
1:07 pale face head seen and disappears.that a ghost?
Shame to see original cars with restomod additions
This video was made 2 years ago why a S197 over a S550? 6th generation mustang started in 2015...
You're car arguably drives like 2005 car.
There's a bunch of reasons. One, by the time I got both donor cars the S550 was only out 1 year. Plus, the S550 can't be used without widening the 70. The independent rear and double ball joint front cannot be narrowed without a bunch of modifying. Thanks for watching!!
@@mustangmike5324 That makes sense. Did not know that!
YORK A/C compressor…they were a horrible horsepower draw.
Thanks for watching Gearbox Geek!
Yes they were...junk IMO.
I’d still take that 1969 over the 1970. If you want a newer handling car, buy a newer car. I have a 1969 S code and wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Like I said before a 70 is a1 to be 69.
😆
Nothing looks better then a 69, plus your 70 is no longer a 70 lol.
It's your car do what you want, but I say enjoy the cars for what they are and were.
What's the point of owning a classic when you change it to a modern ride ?
I can see front discs and some upgrades, but satellite radio, back up cameras, cmon now , lol , lol.
I say enjoy the classics as they are, that's why they are called classics.
U have to be blind to not tell the difference
Thx for watching! We just wanted to point out the slight differences between the two model years for the folks that might not know. It's also a comparison between different degrees of restorations.
@@grayhairgarage2710 yeah i still watched it the 70 has been restored beautifully, that 69 is no slouch either.
I PREFER THE STOCK 69 MACH1 OVER THE UGLY 70 MUSTANG.
THANKS FOR WATCHING JOHN ALT!😁
I hear you on that one ☝️! The 69 mustang may have had fake air vents on the quarter panel !! But that’s what give it’s style! If ask me four headlights are better than two! I have a 1969 mustang and I love it!
The one thing I can say about the 1969 mustang! It is easier to work on compared to the resto mods !!! The saddest part for that older man 👴! Is with the ugly one!! He will only be able to drive it on the road! Not sure 🤔 on how to work on it in case it breaks down!
Only to stop by the dealership to let them fix it lol 😆
@@terrancemabry8443, I call those vents scoops.
Can't even hear them? WTF?
Not sure what you mean?
@@grayhairgarage2710 Ya didn't even start them up so we could hear them.
Hey Leighton, we actually did start them. At the very beginning of the video before our theme there's a startup of each vehicle. If you want to hear more of each of the cars we have videos on each of them that has them running quite a bit. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy our content 😎
@@grayhairgarage2710 - I’m impressed with this response! I begin to wonder about your day-job, on top of this wonderful hobby...
@@jeffreynolds3848 thanks for the kind word😎 thanks for watching too!
Ruined that 70
We all have opinions! Some just relay them in a better way! Thanks for watching, Richard!
@@mustangmike5324 Doesn't matter how it was relayed, still right!! Ruined!
Climb back in your Hyundia Accent and go for a cruise junior.
@@grayhairgarage2710 hahaha how long did it take you to think of that comeback,. Weak 🤣
Oh and the car is still ruined!
I can tell you the difference! The 69 is beautiful original looking and the 70 looks like modern crap! There I saved you 23 mins! Your welcome!
Opinions are like arseholes...everyone has one. Some people didn't learn to keep things nice! Thanks for watching!!
The 69 isn’t a resto mod , you obviously don’t know what the term means
We agree to disagree! Thanks for watching!!
It’s like I’m watching dumb and dumber trying to explain
Ahhh...at least you took the time to comment. So nice of you! Thanks for watching!
