New-to-me '65 Mustang tube car

Here are some pictures of the latest addition to the stable.



One view of the 289:

Note the blemish right at the rear of the hump where the driveshaft disintegrated






There's a joke here somewhere about a horse's @$$, but I can't think of one...










The end...


Been trying to work out a deal on this car for a while.I've wanted a tube car again for quite a while.I also wanted a older body style.This car is a little rough around the edges but is a overall sound car.It ha a low comp 466 act has dish tops but has a good top end 1050 dom. on a victor int trick flow heads crane gold rockers and jomar stud girdle 660 lift comp roller cam and lifters.It has a c6 that is fresh but has no mods other than a shift kit they ran it in drive and let it shift it's self.Has a nice narrowed moser rear and a ladder bar set up.It needs some work on the front,the struts are old and don't suit me. It has sat fot a couple of yrs so it needs some TLC.I think I'll enjoy it.

looks like a good start.a guy in north AL had a car that looked just like it.good luck with it.

It came from up around Huntsville.They said it was a good foot brake car.ran about 6.80's.Have you seen it run?

i like it the old school look but who's trailer with the chevy racing being puuled by a ford lol

if it's been in north AL in the last 20yr's i'm sure i've saw it before.the guy i had in mind lives closer to Florence AL.i'm not sure if it was his car but it sure could be and if so he's the one who built it.

Nice!
I like it.
