BARN FIND: 1968.5 R-Code Mustang!!

[@stevierea70]

I don’t use this term often, and I know it’s early in the year, but this episode of “Coffee walk” is ….. incredibly OUTSTANDING!!! Dennis’s knowledge and enthusiasm is infectious and the content in these videos is so addictive that I drop everything (apart from my coffee) to watch this channel. Thank you so much for providing such an exciting channel and best wishes to Dennis, his family, his staff and his friends and all his subscribers for the future. Keep safe folks 👏

[@Arthagnou]

in the early 1990s, I went to a closed tow truck garage, buried back in the woods was a 68 or 69 torino that was an R code, engine was long gone. One of only 2 cars like that id ever seen, the other was a 70 Roadrunner V Code 4 speed....both cars were junk by the time I saw them

[@haffrods7055]

Dennis, I never miss an episode. My ONLY complaint is we want more update videos. Maybe even a video series on some of them. Would love to see the progression of this one for sure. Your channel is at the top of my favorites for classic car videos. I do hope you guys try to find the buried engine. What a epic story and video content that would be

[@frankrizzo5057]

@@fmbbeachbum8163 more like 100 on this one and once it goes up for sale again it could bring ten times that. The rich get richer and the 50 something with the hairpiece, plastic surgery princess, big wallet and little penis will tell anyone who will listen how they got it at a steal for the 100k. Can’t change the oil themselves but can remember word for word what the original brochure says about it. I am not jealous or bitter though. Haha. I am good with my high horse, doesn’t look like much, built with my hands project/daily when the snow melts. Don’t worry about a few scratches or 4 sets of rears to every set of fronts. That Mustang is going to clean up real nice and someone will have a 15000 mile survivor with a really good story from when it was built in 68

Grandpas got an old 65 Mustang in the barn. Terrible shape. Not near as collectable as this car. Was a packaged deal with a nova. He restored the Nova to all original. But has never gotten to the Mustang. But to get to the point in the town of like 600 only a few people outside the family know they exist. These cars get parked somewhere and just are forgotten.

What a find! When I was restoring one of my 428 cars, the motor was basically incomplete (was a theft recovery vehicle) and tracking down and finding original parts for these motors proved to be incredibly difficult to find. And I’m about to pick up a duo (70’ Boss 302 and 70 428 SCJ Mach) that luckily are both complete cars. This video got me excited for the restorations!

[@neil6212]

Amazing find, which takes me back to 1967 when I bought a new convertible with the 390, 4 speed and 3.25 locker. I later converted it to solid lifter cam, which I believe was a W code item in those days. (not the block, just the cam) What reminded me of it is that the car you have has adjustable rocker arms, which are 1.8:1 and used on solid lifter cams. Also requires the tall 427 valve covers. All still fit under the hood with "no" problem. By the way, mine was also candy apple red!
