It sits too low for my taste.
 
Great Craftsmanship. He has a cool 71' Mustang too.

Personally I prefer the Pro-Touring Muscle car builds vs. the Pro-street builds

Me too. Nicely done, but I'm just not into the slammed look. That body, however, has truly survived the test of time. The 64-66 body now looks almost quaint. 67-68...meh.

69-70... :thumbsup :thumbsup

BTW...how does one find a 42 year old engine, of which only 10 were made? And then mate it to a modern 6 speed trans? I'd love to see a bill of materials and accounting of man hours for a project like this.

Can't agree there. I think the '67 Shelby Mystang was the best looking of the lot. More fluid and purposeful than the 65-66, and cleaner than the overdone 68.
 
I totally agree, 67' is the most attractive Shelby Mustang, 68' the Least. They messed up the headlight surrounds and hood.

Looks like the car has an air ride system (air adjustable height). I like the 69 - 70 look also, and not just because I own one.

You don't. That has Kasse heads on it, can't tell what block it is. There were 13 blocks made, most I have seen have been blown up rather badly. The original Hilborn injection is impossable to find and we have EFI on this one, plus no belt drives in 1969. Nice car, but its not a original 494.

I agree with some not with others, I like the slammed look! and I think the 69 70 had the best lines out of any mustangs. and yes it is because I have one :)

Yeah, but yours doesn't have the wheels sucked inside look of a pro street ride.

Sweet B302 BTW are those Torque Thrust wheels?

thanks! ya they're TT 45's fitted with 255 45 16's yoke's

I actually wished I could mini tub the back to get a wider wheel tire combo on it, but I wouldn't dare cut an original boss!
 
Set up is awesome.

Did you say you were the original owner of the B302 and B429 you had?

Your 302 is incredible.

Soroush, I run 285/40 x 17 on the rear of my BOSS, no cutting required.

No - not the original owner in either case. I did put both cars through an extensive restoration process.
