Need seats, a rear bumper or valance that goes under the bumper? I might have some headers around too but would have to look for them.

Might be interested in headers, but I'm keeping it as stock as possible. I'm second owner and the car is pretty ****ing immaculate.

Not concours by any means, but I have all of the registration and insurance info from 67-present, the original bill of sale, and all the maintenance records. No rust anywhere other than minor cosmetic stuff.

Factory AC.... If I can afford R12 I'll keep it.

really? Not to be a dick but it is a reg 289 mustang, doesn't really add value to keep it stock. The mustang was awesome because of what it could be, and there are so many performance parts you could transform that car into a wonderful driver instead of a bucket of bolts.

Going to add power steering, rear seat belts (only has front optional seat belts), and maybe a monto carlo bar. Built mustangs are a dime a dozen, and if I was going to do that I'd just throw in a 302. It's clean one owner car, why would I **** with it?

to improve it and make it fun to drive. Don't really see why it being a 1 owner mustang makes that big of a difference. If you are willing to change things like power steering why not upgrade the car to be more fun? You could make it go faster, handle better and stop quicker without affecting how the car looks from the outside.

There are lots of things you can do that are reversible and still look stock. Not trying to tell you what to do with your car however. They are fun to cruise bone stock. No power steering gets old FAST.

Congrats on the new whip!

^^ you kinda nailed it. I'm not going to just fix stuff with OE replacement parts...

It already has a modern alternator and I switched out the ignition as well. Will probably rebuild the existing AC compressor with one of the conversion kits out there since i don't want to sell a kidney for r12. Power brakes and steering dont take anything away and are easy to remove if i ever wanted to become a purist douche or sell it to one.
