Hi all, I'm new here but not to Mustangs. I've been around Mustangs since I was young when my dad started his collection and purchased a 67 convertible back in 1991, he then bought an 89 GT convertible, a 78 sedan, a 77 fast back. Both MK2 he rebuilt and sold as practice for restoring the 67 convertible. He restored this to original and enjoyed it and the 89 for many years before he died some 5 years ago. The 89 has since been sold and my brother inherited the 67 convertible.
So... Way back in 1992 my father and I hitched up a trailer and went to collect another Mustang, a 67 fastback. It was stored outside, in a wood, in deepest Lincolnshire here in the UK. It was in a sorry state, bits missing, damage, badly repaired rust, bits of floor missing. It was and still is a mess. Once home it was started for the first and last time since, it's 351 rattled into a shuddering idle and was promptly switched off due to the noise of open headers. The car was put into dry storage which is where it remains. He never got chance to restore it but now it's up to me to give it new life.
When he first got the car he researched the wheels as they are pretty unusual, all he could find were that they are rare torq thrust D. They are 14" diameter, the width is 8" at front, 10" at back. They have a magnesium center welded into a steel rim. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
