In this episode of Iron City garage, Richie and Joe get to work on on one of the 1967 fastback Mustang that Pete recovered out of West Virginia, a month before. Normally cars like this that are recovered on the East Coast have very low probability of running, but who knows what Joe and Richie could make happen!

I am just a couple minutes into the video. I paused it to write this: If you can turn those neglected rust buckets into something resembling their previous beauty...I will be greatly impressed! By the way, at 63, recently retired office worker. I am trying to learn as much as I can about restoring beautiful cars. It's depressing knowing I will not live long enough to do anything close to what I am sure you can do, but it's very enjoyable to tinker on my project car 😊.

I want to say thanks to you and all those like you who keep these classics from the crusher…..or rusting back in to earth.

Watching you guys tinker, baby, beg, cajole, plead that engine to life remninds me of me and my dad.
I was about 9yrs old, Dad dragged me out to field in the dead of winter (rural maine is bitterly cold)
In the field were some ford trucks and cars..old..Dad was a Ford guy and needed an engine for his 62 F100 work truck..no money, no more spare engines in storage.
Some guy told my dad if he could get an engine running in those junkers that he could have them.
We spent 8 days in that field getting 3 '312 Y blocks going and 3 292 Y blocks going...that old farmer told my dad he could keep them all except a 312 which the farmer wanted for his 56 Tbird.
Its great watching you guys

Congratulations on getting it running. I agree. 2 hour videos are a lot. Thank you for sharing!
💯👊👍💕

289 has 3 bolts on the crank pulley. 302 has 4 bolts on the crank pulley. You can put 302 heads on a 289. So head stamps may be misleading. Best way to know without pulling the starter, is checking the bolts on the crank pulley.

Born to hang out with a bunch of old yinzers working on reviving a classic mustang, forced to work a corporate gig in dahntahn Pixburgh. Great video!

[countswing]

Off to a good start! Looking forward to more fastback action. Thanks! 😎👍🏎🐎🏁🏁

I'm glad I got mine finished finally since purchasing the abandoned vehicle in a grass field back in 2003 and completing it in 2012. 65 Fastback 289. Just love it still all fresh and a quick pony.

This show makes me want to put my mustang in a shop it's been in my garage for 9 years

[Wooley]

Sure hate to see them in this condition, but so so glad guys like you try to save them.

A fellow Lefty, Southpaw that is, and now I know ordering parts ahead of time is bad luck ! I've done that for my motorcycles and scooters and end up wasting money and having spare parts laying around that I may never use. I'll remember that. I still hav e an hour to go, you guys just unlocked the motor, so now to see what happens next. BTW, Those Prime Welders look AWESOME and the prices are amazing. I see why you love it. I know how to solder well, but never welded and don't need one, but it would be cool to have around for broken wheelbarrow, etc.

A 2 Hour Vid sounds good to me! Great Channel!

[robertwest]

As soon as I saw that EGR valve I knew it was at least a 1972-73 engine but then you said D4 block which is 1974 like you said. Love this content!

[ericrice]

Keep up the good work have a blessed day be safe

Joe is a wealth of knowledge! My Dad told me, " Experience is a dear teacher". Joe is the proof to that.

[MikeSchmidt-qtls]

Wow, i am happy i came across your channel.
Shame you are not closer. My 68 road runner needs attention. My MS prevents me from wrenching much anymore. Hard to find mechanics who understand the old hotrods

[tylerroberts]

It is such a great idea and concept of which someone else has already been doing . No matter what or how you try and spin it ... What happened to coming up with your own ideas... I guess it becomes to much to do or work ... Thats like showing up to a costume party but someone else has already there dressed up as fonzy...

Always liked the body style of the'67' stang fastback, sleek and futuristic, made even more famous with the movie "Bullit" with Steve McQueen. Had a chance to buy one with straight 6 in the mid 70's for $400. That needed a paint job and some TLC, decent body, another time I had my head up my a$$ and let it slip out of my hands.
