Forgotten 1965 Mustang Fastback for only $500! Will it live again? W/ ​⁠

[@marshalloveracre3204]

Hey there. I’m the guy with the primer gray fastback from the autocross and dragstrip. Your dad talked to me about his cars. Way cool. Hope I see this one back on the road and at those same events in the future. I have a couple contacts for parts that are somewhat local to Atl. Let me know if you’d like their info Keep on rockin in the free world!

[@OldTimeRevival]

Good talking to you. Look forward to the cars meeting soon. 😁

[@Maximusfoisey]

It always makes my day to see a sallyspeedshop episode or you and you're dad

[@jimmymccormick142]

The fastback is pure gold a car that's always going to be worth big money Ford power forever baby

[@agentcrm]

Will be good to see that project start. Hopefully you can get some more covered storage soon.

[@OldTimeRevival]

Agreed. We've been keeping it covered but, it definitely needs to be inside.

[@Veezyjung]

The patina on that Mustang is so good.

[@billsalzman]

Score!!!! Dang TIM, nice. Great plan, Jacob!!!

[@billsalzman]

I was raised on those first gen mustangs and i'm super excited for your plan. Way to go guys.

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

That was fun thanks 👍😊

[@mikewagner3088]

Excellent quote choice from Matthew 6! And fun to see a 65 Mustang making it down the road again! I had one, a 65, 2+2 fastback, poppy red,, 289 V8, 4 speed manual. It was awesome. Sold it after graduation from seminary...family car needed tires! Got to know where the treasure is!

[@terryeustice5399]

Got the Fred Flintstone stopping feature. 😆 Don’t remember seeing this on the Power Tour. May have missed it. Thanks for sharing. 💯👍👊

[@steveshultz7818]

Looking forward to this build! I'm considering a Trans Am inspired tribute to a 66 Coupe that I have. Ratty style as well!! Also....a C code is a 289 2 barrel. A code is 289 4 barrel.

[@Goomer]

I was 9 when the Mustang Fasback 2 + 2 came out, I still remember the printed ad for that I stared at. I had never seen a cooler car. It was like a household name, everybody loved.

[@OldTimeRevival]

Cool memories. Thanks for watching!

[@johnsarian_cu]

Your dad scored on that buy! I'm getting excited now to see you two make one fastback out of the collection. It's debatable, but I still think the 65 fastback more than just the Mustang in general is what supercharged Amerka into the muscle car era not just the pony car era. Starting with Carroll Shelby. Not the only car, just the one that really kicked things into another gear. It was just so different at that time. And immediately so popular. Which is why it now has become so desirable and iconic.

[@OldTimeRevival]

Great comment. Thanks for watching!

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff thanks, liked it all

[@toddmccarter45]

12:51 you can put the brake drum on backward with a couple lug nuts on just a few threads and use that as a slide hammer

[@SallysSpeedShop]

That’s a good trick too, but these were super stuck so I had to get creative

[@toddmccarter45]

I also saw the using a chain to pull the axles on blasphemi that one time but that just looks like a good way to hurt yourself

[@davidcorder95]

Love those mustangs my dad has an gto just sitting in the backyard for years now

[@abcsd1254]

Mobi is the best; glad to see him

[@OldTimeRevival]

Moby's a good dog. Thanks for watching!

[@OKCREBEL117]

Great episode guys! Makes me want a rear end built by Sally’s Speed Shop for my truck.😀

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@OldTimeRevival]

Thanks for watching.

[@av.nedelcu5910]

awesome 👏 can’t wait for the actual build of rat mustang ❤

[@OldTimeRevival]

Coming soon! Plan to buy a 289 this week. Thanks for watching!

[@deanconley5949]

It's your car and do what you want. I definitely would restore that one and build a different one for the trans-am races

[@OldTimeRevival]

I'd also like to make it nice. Our plan is to get it on the road for a little as possible, then start restoring it. Thanks for watching!

[@williamneedham7747]

Loving the videos as always 👍 30 years ago here in the UK I used to race/mechanic in autograss(short oval on grass/dirt fields) I ran a chevette and my boss an escort both RWD, we used to swap diffs in a field in 20 mins😁 we used to reverse the drums and hammer the shafts out but used the old thick cast drums which didn't flex 💪,also I can confirm that "a piece of piss" is also a UK thing 😂 and a compliment of how easy a job is eg its a piece of piss to do 😂 all the best from across the pond keep up the good work cheers Matt N 🇬🇧

[@billsalzman]

Yeah , run Eaton truetrac in 2 of my camaros. Real happy.

[@OldTimeRevival]

Eaton TrueTrac's are awesome. Thanks for watching Bill!

[@gerthholm1220]

Fastback cabriolet.... that's a new thing.

[@marksanders1942]

That’s cool. Build it

[@OldTimeRevival]

We plan to... starting this month!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

i have been going to mention to you there used to be a big time AMC racer close to Panama City Fl. have been trying to remember his name he probably has passed by now but i bet there is lots of parts still there

[@Rusty_Dents]

Building a early fastback would be awesome. Looking forward to future videos, if you decide to build it. I plan on doing the same to a 68 Torino that's in similar condition

[@OldTimeRevival]

We plan to build it starting this month! Thanks for watching.

[@Rusty_Dents]

@@OldTimeRevival That's awesome. My brother had a 66 fastback A code, but they were always a little out of my reach. I bought a 71 Mach1 with a blown engine when I was 16. Now, 42 years later, I'm building another 71 for old time's sake. Holler if I can be of any help. I know lots of early Mustang guys that you might could resource parts from. I'm just down I-85 near Auburn/Montgomery

[@Amxracer]

Cool 😎 !

[@OldTimeRevival]

Great video! Probably your best ever...except that it didn't have your dad in it! 🤣

[@DaPenceman]

Possible episode idea, make an apointment with a shop that can dip the entire car, strip the remainder of the body down, remove front suspension fab a trailer hitch for the front end, put a rolling real axle and wheels on back and road trip it to the dippers, wait till it's complete, have it DP90 Epoxy primered and road trip it home. Mount it onto a wheeled dolly.

[@OldTimeRevival]

We're probably going to get it running with the smallest budget possible. After that, start doing upgrades. But we are planning to bring it indoors this month. Hope to buy an engine this week.

[@Maximusfoisey]

Jacob also for to un free those stuck drums i see people use the back ok a ax

[@johnpisciotto7115]

Sid you change the speeedo gear to compensate for the new gear ratio?

[@OldTimeRevival]

That's a good question.

[@OldKill777]

Good Deal

[@jaysonhallson-ow5gp]

T-top it!!

[@chriswilson9248]

Aluminum roof panel would be sweet

[@OldTimeRevival]

Maybe a roadsign. 😂

[@PAVEMENTMOD]

Adding a real roof skin will add thousands of dollars to the value of the car if and when you decide to sell it. The other fact is the amount of stiffness the roof adds to the body. Otherwise you would have to add all the convertible stiffeners to the car. To make it a track car without the roof intact would be dangerous even with a full roll cage. However its best to install the cage and then the roof skin

[@OldTimeRevival]

Agreed! Thanks for the info and for watching!

[@OldTimeRevival]

Dad's vote is for a metal roof skin installed properly.

[@coolmre158]

what a great deal on those mustangs 👍🏻 when you get a chance can I get the model number of the Ryobi impact that you used ?please and thank you

[@OldTimeRevival]

Ryobi P262. Good impact wrench. Unfortunately, it's made in China. I didn't realize that until today.

[@MakeHotRoddingGreatAgain]

If you want to clean that bondo off just to keep the ratty look going, just use a torch and heat it up and it’ll scrape right off. Could just fix whatever dent is under there best you can and it would look way better.

[@OldTimeRevival]

Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!

[@brianbloom1799]

1 Nice thing about Ford Mustangs They sell every part you need, There not called rustangs for nothing, I have owned some nice ones in the past , 69 mach 1 ,4 speed car, 64 1/2 65. There Nice cars if there not rotted to bad, Most of the time they are.

[@robertmcfarland3323]

Wow you stole those cars.scrap price is a lot more than 500 dollars.good job.looking forward to more vids

[@crazy8offroad]

drop it on a old race car chassis like the monte carlo frome the fast and furious sounds like what you might want the monte carlo frome the fast and furious had a bad ass built big block and a old race car chassis there was a tube cage around the fuel tank in the trunk i think that would be real sick with a fast back platform with a winters quick change and a race transmision so you can do gear changes real fast t also think some warlock mufflers not many people know about them they have a open header sode were you could put electric cut outs and still have exhust all in 1 just my thoughts that you might really like👍✌

[@BillMulholland1]

👍

[@gr8xr7]

‘C’ code is a 2 barrel. A code and K Codes are 4 barrels

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

Good old Anthony, some say he woke up with no recollection of being Irish or in Rockingham.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Still my favorite theory haha

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

@@SallysSpeedShop its been told he only appears at night when a differential is being swapped in the parking lot of a motel.

[@Jhonno16]

$500 is insane! C code is a 2V car btw..

[@SallysSpeedShop]

I must have gotten them mixed up in my head, I believe the '66 Fastback was a 4 barrel car

[@OtisENGINEuity]

Coming back to this episode I never saw.. I'd want the 68.. there's two ways to build it, either go coupe version of the Bullet car with a 410 3X2 and 5 speed like how Steve McQueen built that car for the movie, or you can go full Trans Am with it and a simple 302 4brl with upgraded suspension, a good cam, Tri Y's and straight pipes.. hell you could even go super period correct upgrades and do Ranchero GT drums at all four corners for WAY better stopping power without disc brakes, though honestly there's no reason to unless you want to go period upgrades because an 8.8 with 3.73 gears, limited slip and discs can be bought from any wrecker for less than Ranchero drums and backing plates etc and then you could just put 70 Mustang front discs on it and have discs that clear 14's in the front and 15's in the back. ....WHY DO I KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT CARS WHEN I CAN'T USE IT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's not even a ratty $500 fastback, that's a ratty $125 fastback. Oh and yes, two days after I posted about it the car I was drooling over sold.. So now I can tell you it was a 67 Satellite.. for $3500.. I hate my father for not letting me go get it.. just like every other cool car I find and get told no about. I'm still pissed off that I missed out on a $500 70 Challenger RT project. Let alone the 67 notchback Cuda with a 360 waiting to go into it. BTW Freiburger's favorite way to pull an axle is to flip the brake drum inside out and put it on the studs with a couple nuts and then use it as a slide hammer against the nuts to yank out the axle.. works most of the time. I'm pretty sure the red they painted the center sections with was just simple red oxide primer. This whole video is making me smirk thinking back to my 76 F100 4X4 that had a 9 inch in the back that every time you got on and off the gas you'd hear a clunk of the locker locking and unlocking and every time you let off it'd howl like a son of a bitch where the lash/preload wasn't set right. I bought it that way and sold it that way.. I still miss that truck every day of my life.. didn't help that it was the same blue as Bigfoot which I fell asleep in the wheel of the 90's bigfoot in 1990 at Arco Arena in Sacramento, no wonder I'm a Ford guy eh? Still have that picture around here somewhere.

[@stoveguy2133]

I had a 65 imp ss in high school. Then I had a 66 mustang in college. I thought they were boxy crap then and still do.

[@OldTimeRevival]

So, what do you like? Pontiac Aztec? PT Cruiser? 😂 Thanks for watching.

[@classicstangbrn8964]

C code; 2 bbl 289

[@OldTimeRevival]

Thanks for the info. What's the code for 4 barrel? That's what it's gonna be when we're done with it. 😁 Thanks for watching! Tim Davis (Jacob's dad)

[@OldTimeRevival]

I found it...either an A or a K. 👍🏻

[@johnp1966]

C code is a 289 2bbl, A code is a 4 bbl. You should sell me the front wheels off that car.

[@OldTimeRevival]

Yeah, we think it actually came with a 2 barrel. But...we plan on using a 4.

[@brianbloom1799]

Why don't you Think that car is worth Restoring, A nice restore, That car will pull in all your money and some no Problem, I know someone who Just sold there's , restored 125 thousand, Had a new Coyote DOHC V-8, Ran like new air bags,

[@audiosmackdown]

a 10lb sledge is "bigger"

[@OldTimeRevival]

Yes sir! Thanks for watching!

[@squidkid2]

It's got SOME bondo!?? You look up ratty in the dictionary and they've got a picture of this car.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Well take that as a compliment haha

[@mmill6505]

No so why click bate again? This is why you don't get new sub's. You try to piggy back on everyone and they don't link you

[@OldTimeRevival]

They're friends.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

What is click bait about this in your opinion?

[@brianbloom1799]
