Small Block Ford in a Museum for 40 years! Forgotten 1965 Fastback Mustang!

On this Sally’s Speed Shop episode, we step way back in time…to the 1800’s. In our search for power for our ’65 Mustang Fastback, we find an engine that actually came out of the same year and model. The engine, a Ford 289, has been sitting for decades in a building built when people were still using real horsepower. We head to “The Buggy Shop Museum” in Senoia, GA to hear the story of the motor and of simpler times.
Getting this engine is huge step towards getting the car back on the road. Will it run? We have no idea! It's been sitting for 40 years. Follow along to watch the progress.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

I have a 66 mustang with the original 289 that’s been in my family for 44 years. My grandfather gave it to me about 10 years ago and I’ve now been driving it for 4 years.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

That’s awesome! Gotta love those little pony cars 👍🏼

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

Rolling a complete engine out the front door. That is EPIC.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Haha it was the only way to make it work 😅

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

@SallysSpeedShop if needed I'd of carried it out piece by piece. Yes absolutely. Lol

[@peterphillips1493]

Easier than stuffing it through a window

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

@peterphillips1493 agree 💯. But we would, if needed, and only way. LMAO....but very true.

[@billsalzman]

Tim, the man with a plan!!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Sometimes his plans are terrible, this one seems to have gone alright so far haha

[@babaninja9043]

[@JoefussGarage-jl1bb]

Well gents, it's my first time watching yer channel. That said, it's probably not a Hippo, hell, it may not even be an "A" code 4 barrel motor.. Does it matter? I 🤔 think not, it was great adventure, and awesome story, and great people, it's all 😊👍.!!! Merry Christmas 🎄, and I'll looking to hear, whatever that "twist" is, that you mentioned in the the comments already, when the time comes.. Take care..

[@OldTimeRevival]

Agreed! We're gonna be happy just to have something running! Thanks for watching! Tim Davis

[@jeromezielinski8773]

Great episode ! My friends who were ford nuts back in the day loved their 289's Great little motor , wish they still made them today .A question a little off topic , but ... where can someone buy your Merchandise at ? Would love to wear proudly a shirt or hat or hoodie .. Thanks for all you do !

[@peterphillips1493]

Gives a new meaning to “walking the dog”! Just joking good luck!

[@johnsarian_cu]

Very good find and a great way to start - with the bones of a 289 HP and not just a basic 289. If I remember right the rotating assembly in general was beefier. Heads a little better too. Also, my relatives born around the turn of the 19th/20th century in Troup and Meriwether used to say it a little differently or so it sounded to my ears. More like kah-EE-tah. Maybe they just said if fast LOL.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Turns out there’s a twist to this motor so you’ll have to wait for the next episode to see haha and oh yes, proper enunciation isn’t exactly what this area of the country is known for 😅

[@marksanders1942]

Well that was awesome. Nice guy too

[@OldTimeRevival]

Super nice guy. Thanks for watching. Tim Davis

[@OldTimeRevival]

[@mmill6505]

You need a life

[@thebrianpaulouttagassgarage]

[@nickmassey9104]

Erm a 3 cylinder fiat 500 twin lol great find on the motor

[@OldTimeRevival]

Yep, I think the '62 Fiat 500 was a two cylinder. Thanks for watching. Tim Davis

[@gasratzcustoms]

[@kellilane946]

I want to know that ginger lol

[@BillMulholland1]

👍

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Thanks for watching Bill!

[@johnpeters7316]

I don’t know if you thought that motor was a hipo 289 but from what I could see Jacob that’s the wrong harmonic balancer for a hipo k code 289. Enjoy your channel btw

[@OldTimeRevival]

Things are not always as they appear. It's probably not a high performance engine. We're just happy to have an engine. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching. Tim Davis

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Good eye, more will be revealed in the next episode as we try to get it running. Stories aren’t always accurate when you get parts unfortunately haha

[@PiperMac55]

Will be interesting to know if that is the Shelby HIPO 289

[@patrickkessell4269]

You have to buy that picture

[@MrMongo107]

Maybe there is a burned out '65 fastback lurking somewhere in an area salvage yard?

[@SallysSpeedShop]

There very well could be!

[@LANTHENS]

I watch your videos all the time, but how many times did you say cool ? Great place though .

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Haha it was a cool place 😅 I’ll have to work on some cooler adjectives!

[@OldTimeRevival]

I don't know who uses that word more, Jacob or Steve Darnell. 😂

[@Maximusfoisey]

Haha hopefully your dad didn't bring his check book with him because then he might of bought everything forsale

[@user-wf3jc3yg2u]

You need to be more careful ,safety first, never lay under any suspicion parts of a car ,,

[@mmill6505]

I don't care where you got it from. It has nothing to do with anything today.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Hmm… Not sure about that one. I’ve personally always appreciated the story behind a car, so why not the story behind an engine
