My first car was a 1966 Mustang convertible black with red interior. For my 16th BIRTHDAY. I was born 3/25/1966.. It was garage kept its entire life by a guy in NEW JERSEY. He used it to go to church when it was only a nice day. It had less than 5000 miles. The only thing that it needed was new head gaskets. It also ate oil faster than gas. I only had it 2yrs and my dad had taken it to my cousin's garage, and then a joy ride afterwards, he said a deer hit him ,ha ha ha.. He bought me a brand new car for wrecking my beautiful mustang. I had many guys try to be my" friends " to get a ride home from school. I refuse everyone. Now I am 57 and I still miss my" baby" my beautiful mustang 😢.....😭😤😫🤬....... The only car I ever actually loved.

[@roadscapehorror-talesofterror]

Has shadowings of an Arnie Cunningham story. It is easy to fall in love with the right car. I understand you completely!

[@raysosebee8841]

I was born May 30, 1966. My first car was a 66 in high school. It was just a 6 banger, but I loved that car. When I was growing up my dad had two 65's and a 67. All were beautiful and sadly all 3 were totalled! I had another very nice 66 that I bought in Florida on 2014. I only had it a year and had to sell it when I got laid off. Had to pay off some bills. I sold it on eBay to a guy in London, England. I still have my 98 GT, but I want another 66 or 69.

[@leesharp7683]

I had a 68 fast back. Original 289. I didn't know what i had. I kept it clean. Polished it weekly. If you where not careful it liked to swap ends going around corner's. I was careful. I wasn't a city boy when i was 21. I needed a 4x4. Got to go hunting and cutting firewood. Gas in the early 80s was getting over a 1.00 a gallon. Traded it. I remember buying gas for . 18 cents per gallon when i was 16.

Unbelievable they’re still out there!

[@mindeloman]

There's still a lot of old guys that have bigger hopes than time.....or pocketbook. They save up parts and cars wanting to eventually build a car or restore a car that they had when it was once running. So they languish in obscurity until someone comes along and opens the figurative/literal barn door. This is not a criticism of these guys. Dreams are a great thing to have. But dreams sometimes outlast reason or life expectancy.

[@stevenbean9706]

this guy was literally in the right place at the right time!!

[@BessieMorrison]

Its nice to see cars be restored after so many years neglected. Its a double edge sword considering the extreme increase in classic car prices today. On one hand it makes it unobtainable for many people, but then again it makes it possible for some people to invest huge dollars in cars that 20 years ago was not considered worth saving. So all in all, its a win for the future preservation.

[@Roybwatchin]

In 82 - 83 timeframe, I had a 70 Chevelle SS that was originally black with white stripes and I ended up painting it yellow with black stripes and also had a black vinyl top installed. I was only 18 at the time. There was a guy several blocks away that had a 70 Boss 302, yellow with black boss stripe, in his driveway that had been sitting on stands for years. I stopped by one day when he was outside and I tried to trade him my Chevelle. He liked my car since it was running, driving and looked really nice. His car needed trans and other odds and ends. He gave me his number and told me to call back in a few days. Well, apparently he talked to his buddies and they told him no way, lol..... I really wanted that Boss Mustang, but it didn't happen. That mustang sat on those stands for several more years and then I moved out and lost track of it. I always wonder what ever happened to it? Good memories.

[@thewriter2549]

If yours was an 1970 Chevelle SS 454 it would be worth more today than the Boss 302.

Of course he knew what he had. People today believe any old domestic car that was made before 1990 is worth new car money. Even the cars that no one wanted then and the ones no one wanted now. Heck the only car I am looking to buy is only a 1970-77 Ford Maverick. You couldn’t give them away in the seventies and now all of a sudden people think that they are a muscle car and worth five or ten times what it is really worth.

[@thewriter2549]

When what they believe conflicts with facts, the latter wins out. Yeah, I see those classic Maverick prices. I have felt the same frustration trying to buy an old car. So, buy what you want before prices take off.

I would stop out in my car and if we took a ride I took the old Honda and he drove his new Electra Glide Classic. The Honda got attention everywhere we stopped. lol The Harley was oh well, we see those everywhere.

One of the cars the " I should've bought" was a 1969 Cobra Jet drag car. It had been heavily modified but had the original drivetrain.

I had the opportunity in the summer of 1969 (maybe 1970) to see the Canadian FORD drag team cars at a small local FORD dealer in rural Manitoba who had some serious pull with FORD. I didn't have my camera with me. As I recall, there was a BOSS 429 and at least one other Mustang there. There may have been other cars as well. They were on their way across Canada and stopped at 2 dealerships in Manitoba. I believe the cars were white but I don't recall any special paint scheme. But then I eas focused more on the engine bay. I still remember walking into the service bay and seeing the cars lined up with their hoods open.

[@thewriter2549]

[@larsjuhlin6907]

Awsome history, i just have a question of the fitting of front drum brakes. Was that a factory boss 429 option ? Or is it a Holman moody mod to save weight, I was under the impression that front drums would be heavier than disc's ?

[@thewriter2549]

Disc brakes are heavier, so Holman-Moody swapped them for drums to save weight for drag racing.

Restore the whole car but leave the fire damaged door as is. I mean, restoring it is one thing but to make it spectacular.. You got to make it different. And it would be a good homage to this wonderful guy that raced the car and made wheelies.

[@thewriter2549]

At the end, I suggested restoring the whole car except for the rear license plate recess because the pearl white paint looked like new. The 1955 Corvette prototype on this channel (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYG2i2ptfdVqhsk) is a forensic restoration, with sections of the car left unrestored to show the car's heritage. In a previous "life" the body had originally been a Motorama Corvette show car.

[@morgansword]

I remember seeing films in Nam as this car had some history.... excuse me, not this one as I came home in sixty nine ... that winter and so getting drunk was mostly on my brain. I looked at magazines of this car and many like it being a Ford guy. I started with earlier fords from forty seven and then the fifty, a fifty four, five, six, and then my favorite year was fifty seven. I lived in a town where everyone was a chevy guy so I just had to be different. Many four door cars with big blocks were the donare to my obsession of trying to go fast as a sixteen year old kid. So just keep it short, no one wants a ten mile long comment. Racing was the big thing then, no computers to keep peoples noses in some phony baloney stuff. If it wasn't a naked girl in some picture, then we were looking at cars and lying about how fast our own was.

It is clean as a drag car in the late 60's! The cost today is sad.

I have none of these today except the memories..... most were in primer for a long time and hou concentrated on engine parts and wheels before you painted the car....that was the last process and it was not in an expensive shop. Those days are gone! In reality the a Subaru Turbo 4 cylinder (and not an STI) would blow away every one of those cars stock to stock but you could easily build power cheaply with headers, intake, cam, air cleaner, ignition, plugs and plug wires, suspension modds to make a faster car. The young people today missed out on the era when you did not have to have money to go fast and build yourself.😊

The sad thing is seeing these cars sitting in museums, and people's collections and never driven again. What good is a classic car if it is never driven again. It becomes a room ornament, and not a true car enjoyed for it's classic look, and enjoyment to drive. And envetually the owner of all those classics dies and someone else sells them to another "collector" and gets rich from the original collectors hoard.

[@porscheposse]

I would have to say to those that say do not restore this car I think miss the point about someone willing to maintain the history of these cars and restoring back to the drag condition as it was raced in 1970. Think about this, the Notre Dome Church in Paris France Burns down. That is now part of the history of the church so why rebuild the church? So you can use the church. Makes sense to restore this car to its former glory rather than put it back to the stock red and street trim. Pretty cool concept.

The owner called Bob. MCACN, Bob is bringing a Mustang to show.

My roommate in the navy had a 70 boss 429 he got for 1800. Got to drive it once. I had 72 camaro ss there was a lot of cool stuff in southern california in the early 70s

[@ty2010]

at least some of the paint came back, I've had fire cars that were discolored to the metal

[@retroman3075]

The price of this stuff makes it completely uninteresting to me. However, I would love to own that Cyclone

[@Far2hip]

The fire was on my birthday. 🧐🤣

I had a lot of fun with Mustangs back in the 70- 80's when nobody wanted them. They were just old cars.

[@spurlinspeedrestoration8648]

It would be an absolute shame to restore that car to factory. It’s soo cool as is!

[@thewriter2549]

factory in this case would be as Holman Moody prepped it

How much did he pay for it? I lived in Bakersfield for thirty years, during the gas crisis of the early 70's I drove to LA in a 64' Mercury Comet convertible to buy a Boss Mustang with $1,600 in my pocket, I found a 70 Boss 302 at a used car lot, they wanted $1,800 for it, I told them I had $1,600 and would leave the Comet, they weren't interested in the Comet, but dropped the price to $1,700. I drove back to Bakersfield $100 short of driving back in a Boss 302 to race at Famosa. Looking forward to the restoration videos!

My dad bought a ‘70 Boss 302 for 3800 out of the showroom.

[@ericfaley9019]

Great find! History! Take t a show before restoration. Then do the restoration!

[@thewriter2549]

Sounds like a good idea to me,.

[@aarongranteverton8102]

Leave it the way it is!!!!!! Get motor running and driving......You are taking away history by making it BEAUTIFUL....GGGGRRRR !!!!!
