My 1971 is factory green but I wanted a super dark green or black so I went with a mercury dark green that looks black most of the time .... can’t wait to see this build progress!!

It’s crazy because this had been my dream build since I first owned a coyote motor. Looking forward to this build!

My cousin stuffed a coyote to his 1966. Not just that, he also kept the coyote six speed manual transmission. Needless to say it drives like a dream.

A restomod 67/68 fastback with a coyote and 6 speed is a dream build for me. Really looking forward to how this turns out!

Love your approach for this, looks forward to seeing the progress!

This is the same car my dad bought me for my High School Graduation... LOVED This car.. same color... and I'm STILLL UPSET W/ My Hubby Of 45 yrs for just Giving it away a few yrs after we married...Still have the Key to Mine. Mine was automatic...

My favorite car of all time =) Can't wait to see the process!

Excited to see how your project progresses. Planning my own 69 Boss project in 6 months. Your insights and experiences will be very useful. All the best.

It's going to be awesome, look forward to seeing the progress. Good luck with the project.

I drive a 1994 Toyota Celica. my neighbor who used to fix cars here in Houston, and had one too. he moved to Tennessee, so now i want a Mustang like here

I want to someday own a reliable daily drivable classic mustang ❤ looking forward to your built 🔥

I watched your first video, and now after watching this one I had to subscribe to continue to watch your build! I really like your logical, planned approach to what you are going to do to this car. And YES, black is the color to go with on your Mustang. This seems like more than enough engine for this car, but glad to hear your plans to strength the frame and put some modern suspension under the car. You can't have that much power, and not be able have matching handling! Good luck with this build, and thanks for sharing it with us!

Looking forward to this build 💪🏼💪🏼

I like the idea of the black paint the Chrome and the deluxe interior. Looking forward to the next segment.

I owned a 67fastback 390 auto. for 23 years. It was a chore driving an old car like that. Brakes? Scary. Suspension? Laughing out loud. I loved to burn rubber from light to light. But stopping? Now that was a thrill. Taking corners fast? I don't recommend it unless your fond of rolling a car. The looks were enough to put up with all the negatives. Uden Uden.

Very cool, can’t wait to see. Doing it right it sounds like.

Just found your channel 👍🏼. No expense spared I dig it, should be a really fun build! When I built my 70FB years ago I went with a company called “street or track” for front coilover suspension. I loved it!!! I used “steerioids” for my power rack n pinion it was just ok. Awesome build! I’ll be watchin!!

I’m looking forward to this build. Cant wait to see more.

The render you have of the car with your wheel choice is what I would do. The darker green is even more bad ass than black, IMHO. Reminds me of my '67 GTA390 Fastback in Dark Moss Green, my favorite car ever, I have never gotten over selling. Good luck with the build!

Love the car and idea... I'm almost done with my Build with my 67 Fastback... feel free to shoot me any questions. First recommendation is to Stay Patient and Stay Positive!!!!

Love it! Looking forward to tearing into it!

id recommend looking into TCI "Total Costs Involved" for suspension. great stuff!

You have a solid plan and I can tell that you have done a ton of research. Your plan is almost exactly what I have done to mine. Here are a few things to consider as I learned from my build. 1. Hood clearance - Do some research on the front end suspension. I am assuming you are going with some type of mustang II type suspension. I went with TCI (Total Cost Involved) Front suspension kit. I love the kit, but I can not fit the stock engine cover with the stock hood. There is plenty of room with it off but modifications had to be made to the hood structure to get the stock cover to fit. This kit has the cross member sitting so low that I can not fit a low profile hydraulic jack underneath it. so the height of the engine was not a lack of trying to lower the engine as far as they could from an engineering standpoint. So if you want to run a stock turn signal hood, your only option may be a stock intake. Of course anything is possible, I have been known to be wrong from time to time. 2. Brakes- totally agree with you on the manual brakes. I run 3 willwood compact master cylinders (one for front brakes, one for rear brakes, and one for the clutch) and I have 12" rotors and 4 piston brakes and I can stop on a dime. I would highly recommend the 3 master cylinder layout. Willwood sells a fire wall kit that neatly arranges them. 3. Suspension - I run a TCI Mustang II IFS (like stated above) and TCI 3 Link in the rear. Not only does the car respond really well cornering, the frame is super stiff with their subframe connectors, and the kit is very reasonably priced. There are a lot of good products though. 4. Interior - With a transplanting a coyote with a 6 speed transmission, you will have to modify the transmission tunnel. I have yet to see a coyote swap with a Tremec transmission that has not had to modify the trans tunnel. You may get away with out modifying the tunnel with the stock Getrag. I am not sure through. With that being said, there will have to be modifications made to the floor console in order to get your it to fit right. My trans tunnel cam up probably between 1-2" from the stock height. just something to thing about. 5. Seats - spot on with the seats, with any type of aggressive cornering, those seats you have in your plan will prevent you from sliding out of your seat. Good luck and have fun! Plans change and budgets get blown pretty quickly, HA! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I have been through it and I went as far as mini tubs ( which unless you really need fat tires, i don't recommend. sooo much work!) I have a ton of pictures if you need so see anything specific. I think you and I are one a few of the same FB mustang pages as well. Blessings, Aaron

Excellent choice on the wheels, you can never go wrong with the 427s. This old lady will scream with that motor. Will the six speed need a bigger transmission hump? I am sure that you already know where to find all of the that things that you will need but Mustangstofear has all of the Coyote parts if you need anything. Best of luck. I look forward to watching your progress. Oh, I am with you completely on the "I'm gonna drive it" mentality. Only way to be.

I had a Raven Black ‘67 FB years ago, did a mild resto mod with a 351W. One safety upgrade I did was to replace the solid ‘67 steering column with a collapsible ‘68 column. I also put ‘69 high back seats for some neck protection. They looked great, not out of place at all. Also added shoulder harness seat belts from a Ranger pickup. It all looked “stock” and made me feel a little safer. The roll bar is a good idea, I didn’t go that far.

This is gonna be a badass build. My grandpa used to have a 65’ black on black mustang fastback. He’s had many mustangs and majority are black on black haha. Can’t go wrong!

EXCITING PROJECT, BEAUTIFUL CAR, GOOD LUCK‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

I know I am a late comer to this build, but with that engine/trans combo I think I personally would go with the full frame. I owned a '68 fastback and the unibody does have a tendency to flex. I had a crate 351 Cleveland engine and an FMX auto with a 9 inch rear end. The stock suspension and brakes made for a sometimes scary ride. Wishing you the best of luck. It's your car, build it the way you want to and enjoy the journey.

I like your plans mate,one day I'll own something nice from over there but for now my E34 will soon be getting some special treatment 👍🏻🇬🇧

Just found this, love it, love your channel man! +1

For the suspension I would look into total control products as well as global west. I’m researching them now and they seem to have everything you need to modernize your suspension and dramatically improve your handling. They also seem more affordable.

Looking forward to it! @ClassicNation

Can’t wait to see !

This is my dream car 😍. I subscribed as soon as i saw the title.

The '69 Shelby roll bar will bolt up to the shoulder harness attachment points on a '68 I don't know if the '67 has them, but I did have to use a cable come along to pull in the roll bar to get it in place. The body on the earlier model was a little narrower than the '69. Otherwise once in place you can reinforce the attachment point, drill your holes, and bolt it in.

I agree with you on the subframe...

One thing you may want to do is add a set of 1968 torque boxes the 1967 only had one I can't remember what side it was on but the extra one will stiffen the chassis up a bit and mostly be out of sight and then make sure when you are doing the frame rails to let a frame shop do it to make sure it is square that looks to have had damage to the passenger front and was "fixed" at one time the frame shop will let you know about that when you get the rails redone and yes while you have it tore down do all 4 floor pans.... This is a beautiful specimen with all projects there will be a hang up here and there. I miss my 1968. you may get lucky at a salvage yard for the drivetrain finding a 2018 totaled mustang with low miles those Coyote motors are Ford's answer to the Chevrolet LS motors I've heard of a few "you tubers " adding blowers to these and having them daily driven with well over 600+ hp at the wheels with over 100k miles on the motors... just my 2 cents. You may want to check Performance Suspension Tech if they are still around to see what they offer. I'm not sure I got married 20 years ago and I know the game has changed since I let go of my babies a 67 fastback (I-6 with a total v-8 conversion in works) and my 69 Mach1

I have a 67 coupe that I have been looking at doing a Total Control Product suspension and bracing with ifbthst helps. They seem like they have some good products snd not a bad price considering what your getting and the performance of the product

Just “a bit” souped up Fastback Engine/transmission: “a bit more wild” Tranny: “nothing quite like 6-speed Tremec” Wheels/tires: “this one is really important” Brakes: “brakes are really important” Suspension: “obviously coilovers all around” Interior: “rollbar for safety” and of course “luxury period correct interior” Honey, what is your opinion on remortgaging the house, again? 😁

I was considering coyote swapping my Ford Maverick. Punching the numbers it was more than what I want to spend, I've decided to go with a 363 Stroker EFI pushing 480 at the crank, I think that would be ideal for the lightweight platform.

I like the build. Should be awesome. I’d do pretty all the same but keep the Windsor motor. Just make it a nice 375 horsepower pushrod but with the 6sp trans. Would just save a lot of time and money. But I get it. That’s just me. Then Restomod the rest with OEM interior. Look forward to your build. Subbed 👍🏻

Suspension wise I would take a look at Ridetech or QA1 coilovers, brakes, maybe is doable to swap a modern S550 4 pistons Advics brakes, they are awesome with hawk pads and you can find barely used ones in ebay very cheap, maybe even a 6 piston brembos...having said that I love Baer option To finalize I love all your selected parts and really really like your current dark green on the exterior

Love the ideas. Going to be sick. Please post step by step what you are doing.

sounds like you have a pretty sound plan. My 70 sportroof has a big bore 347 with a wide ratio top loader backed with a gear vendor overdrive- works great. No tunnel mods. will be following your project. BTW what is the weight of the aluminator compared to a 302-351 cast iron ?

When u told the car was going to be black I automatically subscribed.

We think alike. Awsome car.

I kept the stock suspension but swapped heavier sway bars, Koni shocks, solid heavy export brace and Monte Carlo bar. Handled well, but still had the solid rear axle so not ideal. Biggest issue was steering: I swapped the original manual steering for power using original parts, big mistake. Way too much play. Don’t know what options you have today but i would look for a rack and pinion setup.

Detroit speed is what I want to go with when I have money for a restoration on my fastback 👌

I like what you want to do with the mustang. I would do it just the same. I especially like your wheel and tire selection.

Go for street or track. I have them on my Mustang and their great for day driving etc

Would that full frame option you mentioned add anything to the crash worthiness of the vehicle? Maybe high back buckets well for safety if you really intend on driving it a lot. I would probably rebuild the 351 and add a C6 with one of those gear bender overdrive units to improve mpg. And I really like that green! Good luck with your project!

Interested to see how it turns out!

I would stroke that 351w. That's a good strong casting Ford made.Can handle 600 hp.You would save thousands and would keep the car old school. I'm having trouble accepting this new technology put into vintage rides like yours.Good luck whatever road you go down.

Hi Evan! Didn't your Mustang end up having a 351 Windsor in it after you bought it? Love the Coyote swap Idea, but how much are those now? Thanks for sharing. I am running a 460 built big block in my 67 S-code currently. Tight fit but did not have to cut into shock towers etc.

Qa1 motorsports suspension setup 👌

You should check out (If you already haven't already seen his you tube video's) Peterson restorations. He could set your stang up perfectly for the Coyote Monster your planning. He does incredible work....Just thought I would mention it. Great concept ! Look forward to seeing your build evolve. Thumbs Up !

I love the aluminator but the lack of a a flat plane crank definitely hurts the sound it makes and it's wide. Swap in a built Barra engine. It'll sound like nothing else around here, make incredible power and actually fit.

Would you consider an aftermarket chassis/frame like the ones at Schwartz performance. I’d love to see a build on one

earned a sub my friend.

Ok, just saw after my comment to the first vid you already have a plan ;) So after the fact you already have a classic Mustang for driving you are right on the spot for going "a bit more wild" :) I am curious about your upcoming built! Although I am more the "period correct" guy for my personal projects I like your plans very much to create a sleeper with modern components. For the color: I like the idea. There are too many green McQueen clones out there ;-) But look for a good painter - black is difficult. Don't ask why I know... What was the original color? Besides: I like the spot where you live. It is beautiful!

Sounds like a great idea. Did you ever get that 351W fired up? Those are good engines and you could turn that into a real beast for a small fortune. Just curious.

I would like to swap a ford engine in my 69 mustang fastback.. I am looking into reliable mustang engines with stick shift.. any recomendation/suggestions?!!

In order to drop in a Coyote, You'll pretty much have to lop off the entire front end and replace the entire front end of the car for strength.... I'd advise against it on this fastback...If you want to drop in a fast motor...drop in a crate 347 stroker or "427" crate motor... Don't go so crazy as a Coyote motor......My personal opinion..

Are there any cheaper “restomod” engines to build a more reliable driver? I’ve seen the fuel injected 5.0 swaps from the foxbody mustangs but they don’t make a lot of power.

I’m building a 69 boss 302 with a coyote and a tko600 running on the Holley dominator every panel besides the doors and quarters are carbon fiber and rims where hand made from carbon fiber, suspension is a Detroit speed c7 corvette suspension swap running on quick adjustable coils just finishing panel fitment and paint then wire up the led lights but my god am I getting close paint color is Mazda red with gloss over carbon fiber for the stripes. My uncle bought the car from v8speed shop after they gave up on the project and he never did anything to it so I bought it off him

If you're doing the floors I would go with the roadster shop chassis. Save yourself a lot of money bore and stroke that 351 with a nice intake and heads maybe a holley efi and done.....

White with blue secondary color black sucks chrome wheels love all Your other ideas Good find 😳

how did you manage to find such a beautiful mustang for just 14k?! I've been struggling to find one that is remotely close to yours for a decent price for so long now :(

How much do you estimate all this would cost ?! Approximately !!

Hey man, are you going to use the gascap and fuel door combo? The one with spring? That would be sick 😍 Edit: that will go with black n chrome concept

What’s the color ? Super beautiful!!!!

How about '69 Black Jade?

how about this for your running gear, stick with the 6 speed but how about a real stealth runner with the Australian Turbo Barra six a fairly easy 7 or 800 rear wheel horse power is quite simple

I used to like '67 Mustang fastbacks. Rebuilding junkers of any brand seem very silly and too expensive to bother with. Maybe a Mustang Tesla hybrid would have a point, but the old cars before crash testing are basically all deathtraps.

How much would this build cost?

This is like watching Powernation but a bit slower

Those mag / Shelby wheels /colors /Three. ..oh ,,that's the right look .,,,,,,,you want put on ,,be cool,,,,and roll bar..,,.greens cool,,but yea darker color be better,,,

Great video! Intro music is a bit loud by the way.

Black on Black too hot!!

Put a Barra in it...

At 66 years old and having owned at least 25 black autos I'm sorry you're going black. That does not mean the car won't be incredible.

no roll bar. Looks like a good plan.

RRS suspension w/ shock tower notching kit and you don't have to chop the shit out of your car to fit a Coyote!!!

I dont see it with those wheels u want i would go brushed bullitt wheels to match the interior

Put a John kaase boss 429 in it

Mustangs from 1967 are not "matching numbers" To quote Greg Zyla More Content Now "I’d like to add something, however, as in my opinion there is a much larger and more hobby damaging issue regarding the use of phrases like “numbers matching,” “factory installed,” “born with,” or “original” when describing Fords. The truth is that, except for the Mustang Boss 302′s, there is no such thing as a matching numbers Ford. To explain, Ford did not stamp a number on any part that relates to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the car. They only had a date code cast into the part. "

Black is the way to go for paint, especially on a fastback. I seen a comment here about bullit wheels, I respectfully disagree. They are too popular, I feel the black wheel that you are proposing is a better choice.

You say you like chrome and period look yet you say you want black wheels. Would look much better with chrome Cragar Wheels. An old school car needs old school wheels.

I'm not a fan of the restomod idea but I totally get that this is your dream - if you haven't seen it yet, check out AutotopiaLA - Shawn has featured this '67 Fastback twice - I think you'll like it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b66em9Oqla7Rd4U.html

You will have 75 k in it before it’s done

just throw in something more classic. Also, its a great shell, it would be a pity to cut it up in pieces

150K build?

Shelby clone can be driven.

Black? Oh noooo

Don't do the the Coyote. The whole front clip will have to be butchered to make it fit. Just redo the 351 and you can get the same power for less money and an easier and cheaper overall build.

How come people take these old muscle cars and cut them up with resto shit cut up the floors cut up the fire wall butcher and put in new tubs disk brakes conversion four way digital gauges by the time they are done only about 10 % of the original car is left , If somebody did a OLD School rebuild and dropped in a 425hp 427 with Old School Ford top loader I would die of a freaking heart attack ! If you are going to cut and butcher why don't you do it to a coupe ?

Go buy a new Mustang if you want a modern canyon carver instead of ruining a classic. The body in white will never be stiff enough and suspension balanced enough to be worth it...by the time you’re broke. Upgrade the brakes, control arms, springs, rack, sway bars, and bushings, and put a nice period correct reliable motor with a 6-spd Tremec. Stock looking wheels with modern tires and keep the existing ride height so you don’t ruin the proportions of the car. You’re just making headaches for the next owner who will restore the value of this car. And for god sakes do not cut the shock towers or add modern gages. Would like to put the Eleanor and restomod people on a barge and sale them away. Preserve and honor the era. Don’t butcher it with this tacky bs. Cheers!

Then you are about to ruin it by putting a coyote engine in it which devalues it worth and it is not a classic anymore if you follow MCA rules Use a 289 or 380..A 289 can kick a coyotes rear.

This guy talks too much......
