My Brother Just Bought A 65 Ford Mustang Hardtop!

[Italiazr1]

My brother just bought a 65 ford mustang

he needs to get it registered roadworthy ect.....

does anyone know of a good mechanic in around the narre warren area

that deals with these sort of old school cars?

i didnt really wanna take it to my mechanic cause i dont know if he could sorce these parts

as cheap as someone dealling with them more often.

anyway he needs seat belts fitted and bushes done through out the car

apart from that the car is pretty nice.

Greg Chiefalo at Mustbstangs is excellent - knows the cars inside out and does quality work and is always very helpful.

He's in Dandenong just off Cheltenham Rd so not far from narre - his ph number is 0437 302 300 or 9792 3222.

I believe JAKS Motorsport and TGS Motorsport can help him out, as they specifically import USA cars in now.

Gee why would you buy one of them..such ugly boring cars..should have bought a honda instead!

these guys are great for parts..used them a bunch of times and they keep a heap in stock.

I think they also do mechanical work.

or for some-one that plays in lots of cool muscle.

that said his bet bet right now is join the mustang car club and go to one of their meetings..trust me they have been there and done that on anything that he could encounter.

lovely looking car, my girlfriend's dad has a 65 convertible, it's not in as good condition as your brother's but all old school mustangs are nice.

Nice ride, pre 69 the car doesn't come under the adr's.. so seatbelts are not required if your bro wants to flaunt it.

Might be different for imports.

lap belts needed for fronts none for the rears...unless they have been fitted in the past then you have to keep them.

ok thats good then we might not need to get the rear belts then

going to see mechanic tomorrow to look over it and see exactly whats needed

still might be better to get the rear belts anyway he might have kids in the back occasionally

Well excellent news guys just got back from the mechanic.

apparently its very common for these cars to be rusted out pretty badly

fortunately our ride was micky mouse mechanic loved it,

said it was well worth it for the price he paid a couple of little things to do for roady

but my brother is stoked about it.

there was another bloke in there for exact same thing but his car was pretty bad underneath needs about 7 - 10k

spent on it fixing it all and cutting out rust i feel sorry for the bloke he was shattered and paid way more

for his car than we did

Got a small collection of old fords all are reg'd and have no seatbelts (apart from the daily).

I've been down this road many times over the past 25yrs.

Got to say it is a bit disconcerting sitting unrestrained surrounded by a steel dash ect even worse on a bench seat.
