Mom gave me sad new today before I went to work, my Uncle passed away last night :( Glad to know his suffering is gone tho and he'll be reunited with Grandpa and Grandma in the lake we all loved :) He'll always be riding along when I take the Roadchicken out tho, noticed he left some cig butts...

I was going to and wanted to take her out solo today but that didn't happen as our lawn was in desparate need of cutting (4 acres is more than an hour job) and Amazon showed up with our Meguiar's detailing spray and after the lawn was done set to getting our baby cleaned up (and damn was it...

Since the "Edit" button bugged out I'll say, repsect is a 2 way street. Respect MY ride, I'll respect yours. Enough said, just because you get your jollies off blowing clouds of soot all over a ride soemone spent hours upon hours detailing to meticulous levels because of love...don't think it...

I love my Mustang but sadly this car HAS actually stolen the show! Probably said it a few times but my disbelief still has me feeling this ins't real, but my ultimate dream "muscle car" was a '70 Fastback mustang with a 429 Cammer in it, not a '69 Roadrunner with a souped up 440 that'll stick...

Thanks, we've done some looking around on the car and aside from some worn front brake hoses (we replaced obviously) it's rock solid. My brother and I agree the front brakes just aren't up to snuff (they're '67 Mustang...Mustang fanbois will ahte me now) and I think at the least front end needs...

Thanks, don't know if congrats are really necessary for this car coming at the loss of my Uncle but I get what you're saying :) She's a beauty and drives like a new car off the lot, very little sawing at the wheel to keep her straight and goes like hell :) Haven't figured out how I want my Mom...

I sincerely apologize if I seem to ramble off into nonsense regarding this car, but this is my mind still trying to take in getting a basically dream "car" (any sort of modified muscle car) and it realizing she's MINE! Words can't describe this feel basically. Here I am all along would've been...

Ah...I'm foreign to most of the nitty-gritty of engines but I can have my mom ask for some information about the engine. Like I said in a previous wall of text (sorry, this car just means a ton to me) all I know that was done to the engine for a fact is a fairly aggressive cam, the boring and...

Sorry for the video being rotated 90º, Android phones seem to not like doing videos in landscape for some reason :( (or my settings for the auto-rotate messed with the outcome, I'll get a good video later with a fly-by and such) Here's how she sounds, my brother and I read over the engine...

Car is here, it was pretty rough seeing it in the trailer and felt really weird. My brother and I got a little choked up and it was really hard on our Mom as this was our Uncle's (her youngest brother) most prized possession and he wouldn't have let this go to just anyone. Hurt our Mom the...

Bitter-sweet nails it on the head, but I think our Uncle knew we would say "Yes" and it wouldn't get sold because we saw $$$. Sorry to hear about your son and daughter-in-law's loss, that would be heartbreaking to me for sure (not solely because Mustang fan-boi status but sentimental value). I...

Hurst badge and yes, she's as beautiful as I remember from about 10 years or so ago. Delivery is set for 8am Monday, 9.5 hours I get to hear that baby again after probably 10 years. Sucks I'm going to have her torturing me sitting in the garage until we get her added to my brother's Grundy...

Car was picked up today (Friday) we'll have her Monday morning some time. Gonna be painful watching her back off the trailer. My Uncle was totally broken seeing it go, but I hope he realizes, she's going to just as caring of a home. No money will ever buy this car from me, and I'll enjoy the...

Unfortunately that won't happen regarding turning wrenches on it with him, he's just not in that kind of shape anymore (plus the car is in immaculate condition). On an exciteful note, the carrier is picking up the car Friday and she'll be here some time Monday \o/ Definitely going to be a...

If you're referring to Mustangs...'70 Fastback would be my ultimate dream car, but I think my true calling will be arriving later this week :thumbsup: I am realizing a huge coincidence in all this too, my Mom basically gave my Uncle her '70 fastback mustang that was bright yellow (long ago in...

Nice choice on grills and sounds like a fun little project. I like the '68 Chargers rear end with the round tail lights but in general anything old, fast and loud is perfect. Never paid much attention to the MOPAR cars as my Dad and brother are both big GM guys and I somehow ended up being a...

Thanks, it still all seems like a crazy dream. He wanted them lined up best they could do with the fronts. Ultimately it doesn't matter at all to me, this car is one that for the die-hard guys will never be for sale so his personal touches that may diminish value are pointless (as it was far...

It is in fact a '69, he liked the look of the '68 side markers so when it was having the body work done he had them install those since it was not even close to a #'s matching car anyways. It was originally a 383 car and had some oddball 70's police interceptor 413 when he got it if I remember...

Thanks for the welcoming and condolences it's definitely been a crazy past 3 days. Hearing that he's actually super excited about giving us this car has made it easier for me but it still seems surreal. Sent a couple pics today and it looks just as good now as it did 12-15 years ago. Not sure...

I'll introduce myself by saying I'm gettin my Uncle's 69 Roadrunner as a surprise after finding out he has terminal cancer and wanted my brother and I to have the car. He knows we'll take care of her as he did. I'm just looking to get advice on stuff we should look for since it's probably at...
