Project Betty | Will Our 1965 Mustang Coupe Finally Drive?

[@humster21]

I don’t miss trying to keep her running at stop lights. Glad to hear her run again.

[@JesseAndMike]

This project is awesome! Great video!

[@chrissterba501]

That was such a fun video to watch! Put a smile on my face in these crazy times. Thank you!!

Im very excited about my own 65 mustang to turn over as well, been sitting there for 25 years as well. Thanks again for the advice "Cj Pony"

[@TeachAManToAngle]

I have a ‘65 also. Looks nice and runs but needs a lot of mechanical love. I look forward to more videos on this vehicle.

[@michaelburks6962]

Love these videos. Keep them coming

[@umangu]

Wow, you guys were serious about doing a burnout 😂 Was the rear brake locking up? Initially I thought this video length was too short for what you aimed to cover but with some precise editing it was just the perfect amount of detail 👏

My old 66 had been sitting in a garage since the mid 90's and the original owners had got it running somewhat but but didnt drive it, my dad and I purchased it and topped up the tires and fluids and drove it 2 hrs home!

[@rickgaine3476]

if you guys have to wait as long as your customers do to get parts when we order from CJ, you’ll never get your car done.

[@BoltofTalons]

Damn, you guys are built. I'm trying to figure out before I buy my grandpa's 1965 mustang for under $2,000, how I would be able to shoehorn myself in at 5'10 and 230 lbs. I have thought about a smaller steering wheel, and having my family mechanic teach me how to weld before I swap the seatpans. Its going to be my secondary project car, because my grandpa doesn't think my current car will run, so it's good to have a backup plan. I'm a General Motors guy, but I do love some classic Fords.

[@cjponyparts]

you can get a different wheel, different column, and seat extenders

[@BoltofTalons]

@@cjponyparts heck yeah, thank you all

If the transmission is a true 1965 C-4, it is a "green-dot" transmission. This means that the normal D position after N is actually 2. The D position is the second notch after N. I found this out by reading CarTech's "How to Rebuild & Modify Ford C4 & C6 Automatic Transmissions". I could not do a burnout in my 65, and upon reading this book, dropped it to the second notch after N, and viola!!!! Burnouts for days!!!!

[@cjponyparts]

I learned that a few years after I had my first one too lol, it was nice having all three gears. We had it in low all the time though

[@r000tbeer]

I'm not here to tell you guys what to do, but a drive around the block or something would have been cool to see.

Hello Betty White

[@williamguillIII]

Can I get you guys to come down to Georgia, to help me get my 65 Coupe running?

[@greeneyeddevil1]

What are the recommended carbs for a 65 in-line 6 cylinder. I have a white 65 too btw

[@jeffduncan9140]

Carter 1bbl

[@Fotosaurus56]

I have a white 65 Mustang hardtop with a 200 I6, but it can't burn rubber!

[@lukegrove8089]

my stock 289 66 cant turn the tires over either. I have a rebuilt transmission with an upgraded shift kit and a strong motor but no burn outs for me. Not sure why the era of mustang just cant spin them.

[@Fotosaurus56]

Yeah I have a shop manual and I use the correct position but the old pony needs a carb tune-up...lol

[@goosegarage78]

backfiring at the carb means timings out 180 degrees...

[@F1nalPich0nPX]

Not gonna clean it?😭😭😭

[@BallisticWrenchGarage]

Installing the tank over the surface rust was the part that hurt my soul. Lol
