Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application============Do you own an early year Mustang?: yesPlease upload a favorite pic of your Mustang or a classic car you drive now or have owned in the past.: https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/BRRZO1wTumNs4qiWERA5?My Mustang and P51.jpg?image/jpegWhat do you do for a living and is it related to classic cars or Mustangs?: For the past 28 years I've written Mustang-specific content for many of the popular print magazines we all grew up on. I started on Mustang Monthly in 1992, moved around to different brands, and came back to Mustang Monthly as editor for a short while in 2014. From 2014 until the brand's demise in 2019 I was once again the brand's technical editor. Currently I am producing freelance Mustang content for Mustang Hub magazine (print) and Mustang Driver magazine (digital), as well as producing SEO and blog content, and product instructions for Revology Cars.Is there anything specific you would like to share on the show?Just enjoy talking with Mustang owners (and potential owners) about this great hobby and doing what I can to promote it, especially to today's youth.If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? If so, what is his/her name?: I have my '66 Mustang hardtop, my '90 5.0L LX hatchback, and a Factory Five Racing 427 Cobra replica, and none of them have been named. LOL!How long have you owned your classic ride?: I bought it in 1999 and restored it from '99 through '02, so just about 21 years. It needs a little TLC these days.If you've made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done?: It was a complete restoration, including major panel replacement, full repaint, interior, V-8 drivetrain swap, and more. We did a bunch of hidden mods, including roller cam conversion, ported heads and intake, etc. I did everything but the engine and trans rebuild and the paint and body work.Do you work on your classic cars yourself or do you have a mechanic or shop do the work? At 51 it isn't getting any easier, but I do all my own mechanical work on my three "toys" as well as the wife's 2014 Fusion Titanium. I'd love to have a lift, but our two-car garage has standard 8-foot ceilings. Not going to happen! I just take my time getting up off the ground these days! LOL!What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?: We just recently fully restored/rebuilt my 1990 Fox Mustang and I'm working out a few odds and ends on it, so once that is wrapped up here soon I'll be focusing my attention back on my '66 Mustang and my Cobra replica. The '66 needs a battery, new tires, and all the fluids changed. The Cobra hopefully needs nothing more than fluids changed and a good cleaning. Sadly I don't get to drive them as much as I would like!If you are on social media, please share your social media names/handles so we can tag you when promoting your episode.: Instagram at @stangwriter Have an idea for the show or think you'd make a great guest, send an email to the host:doug@turnkeypodcast.comGet our episodes in your inbox follow the link in the show notes: www.TheMustangPodcast.comThanks for listening, keep it safe, keep in rollin’ and keep it on the road!

Tony Alonso, author and Mustang expert connected Doug Sandler with this esteemed panel of Bullitt Experts that included: Sean Kiernan, former Bullitt ownerBrad Bowling, JournalistKevin Marti, Mustang expertKen Horstmann, Movie producerFrom Tony's original guest application:I co-authored a book with a former Team Mustang engineer on the development of the 2001 Bullitt and 2003-04 Mach 1 Mustangs called "Engineer + Enthusiast = Excitement." I've solo authored a book on the evolution of the three Mustang Bullitt models titled "Mustang Bullitt - Generations." For that book, Brad Bowling and Kevin Marti, Mustang author and expert, respectively, wrote a supplement called "Bullitt Time." "Bullitt Time" is about the original 1968 movie cars. This publication was bundled with my book in what I call the expanded edition. I'd really like to give listeners a chance to learn about the history of how these cars came to light after almost 50 years of being out of the limelight, and how they influenced the modern cars made in tribute to them. Also, the former owner of the movie car called "559" (which is the last 3 digits of the VIN), Sean Kiernan, is available to participate. He also has been working Ken Hortsmann, a movie producer, on a separate project called "Little Pieces". "Bullitt Time" cross promotes "Little Pieces" on its back cover. Both Brad Bowling and Kevin Marti were interviewed for "Little Pieces". That is being planned as a multi-part movie available on a streaming service. I am trying to raise awareness of the link between the modern Mustang Bullitts and the original movie cars through these connections.If you are on social media, please share your social media names/handles so we can tag you when promoting your episode.: Twitter: @FMB_GenerationsInstagram: fmb_generationsweb: www.fmb-generations.comHave an idea for the show or think you'd make a great guest, send an email to the host:doug@turnkeypodcast.comGet our episodes in your inbox follow the link in the show notes: www.TheMustangPodcast.comThanks for listening, keep it safe, keep in rollin’ and keep it on the road!

Explain pleaseSometimes but not very much. I have tools and equipment but no timeWhat plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?New engine, carburetor, distributor, cylinder head A fan letter from today's guest:Just listened to your podcast on Mustang values and I agree with your analysis. I just wanted to add the following - I think that the only Mustang that really benefits from restomod (as far improving its resale value) is the common street variety six-cylinder automatic. Originally these cars were nothing more than glorified Falcons and when compared to the V8 289 are inadequate in every respect. So if you add 14 inch wheels, a new suspension with a heavy duty sway bar, disc brakes, AC, 3-row radiator, fan shroud, high-flow thermostat & water pump, headers, aluminum cylinder head*, 2bbl or 4bbl carburetor, high-performance camshaft, high-performance distributor (DUI), shift kits (for AT)., power brake booster, etc. If you spend the money to really jazz up the six-cylinder and turn it into something very unique and special, then I think you have a vehicle which will be highly desired and one that you can feel safe driving on today's roads.I agree that messing with "K" cars and other special value vintage Mustangs is a dangerous thing to do, but when it comes to the lowly six cylinder, modifications can only make it a better vehicle.MarkPS - Vintage Inlines in Fraser, Michigan makes a beautiful aluminum cylinder head with individual runners to each cylinder. This improvement gets rid of Ford's horrible log head on the six-cylinder 200 and the exhaust side of the cylinder head replaces the awful "siamese" port on the exhaust of cylinders 3 & 4 where many an exhaust gasket has died (what idiot at Ford came up with the siamese exhaust port anyway?).

Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application Please upload a favorite pic of your Mustang or a classic car you drive now or have owned in the past.: https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/7OAU6peTRiS0ovRScx9g?Mustang in Snow.jpg?image/jpegWhat do you do for a living and is it related to classic cars or Mustangs?: Dixmont, Maine. April 1st 1964 - build dateIs there anything specific you would like to share on the show? I would speak about my car, how found, how restored, how found previous owners, and how have my students help me work on car and use 3D printer to make parts for the car.If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? If so, what is his/her name?: AMust64How long have you owned your classic ride?: 1992 purchased restored 2005 driven ever sinceIf you've made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done?: Restored body panels, floors, structure, convertible top, rebuilt motor & transmission, restored to daily driver quality. Still need to restore the interior and get another paint job. Restored car from inside out.... driver train & motor, body work. Drove car in primer (without top) for one year figuring out any driving issues. Do you work on your classic cars yourself or do you have a mechanic or shop do the work?I found a body shop with someone who loved Mustang, I would pay him for what he could do (welding, cutting, painting) and he let me do what he could train me to do or I could learn. I could grind down spot welds, wire wheel and clean. I could prep surfaces by sanding for paint. What I couldn't do I had a specialist do, like rebuild the motor, rebuild generator/starter motors, power steering units. I used youtube and internet research to help learn what I didn't know.What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?:I have not restored the interior since it is so original, but as the seats have ripped I will redo interior. Once that is done then I will redo the paint job to fix issues (it is a Black car that shows everything) I would like to restore parts that I did replacements like a crushed bumper or a fender.. so the original parts I still have go back on the car rather then any replacement parts. That will be over time as I gain expertise since labor is the most expensive part of restoring the car not the parts.If you are on social media, please share your social media names/handles so we can tag you when promoting your episode.: Twitter: @keitkelleyHere is a web album of relevant pictures of my carhttps://photos.app.goo.gl/Cx2jar1SxkQosN6H6Bloghttps://amust1964.blogspot.com/Twitter: @keitkelley Have an idea for the show or think you'd make a great guest, send an email to the host:doug@turnkeypodcast.comGet our episodes in your inbox follow the link in the show notes: www.TheMustangPodcast.comIf you are a buyer looking for a dream car or a seller that has a classic pony for sale head over to www.TheMustangPodcast.com/marketplace and share your dream, we will match buyers and sellers.Thanks for listening, keep it safe, keep in rollin’ and keep it on the road!

More from Jeff Hayes, featured on today's show:More on Jeffrey HayesI named the car "RidgeRunner" back in the 60's up until today as we own property in the Sierras since 1902 and the car always ran on Radial Tires after 1970 and I loved/we love to take it on those mountain winding roads along the Sierra Crest from our cabin at Sierra City to home to Carson Pass to the motherlode towns along CA Highway 49 from 4-8500 feet. Thanks for the interview--I get sidetracked as the car is so connected to my Dad, My Job w/JPM, my Kids, and My High school sweetheart, now wife of near 22 years. She recognized my car at a gas station at South Lake Tahoe in 1997, saying "I used to date a guy in High School had a car just like that... is that a 65?" then she lowered her sunglasses and wow--there she was; my first love... I was in love with her all over again though I admit she made me court her (she had an "on the rocks'' boyfriend at the time and I'd just went thru my 4th divorce). That is another reason the car means so much to not just me--but to her.Back when I started to go to High School in my new Mustang in May 1965--our High School, Woodside High School, San Mateo County Calif, covered the widest area in the United States--it also covered the richest area in the US. Our parking lot was the largest high school student parking lot in the country at over 800 cars and was near full by 7:35 AM. Most of us outliers had to drive to school, and take others with us--You asked if my new 1965 Mustang GT Convertible "caused a stir when I got it" well it was 'dwarfed' by the 426 Hemis, the Porches, Corvettes, GTO's Mustangs.... we even had some Cobras, Ferraris,' Maseratis--half all the cars were new and Convertibles as we had a perfect "Mediterranean" climate in the Woodside, Atherton, Menlo Park, Sharon Heights, Los Altos and Portola Valley area where I grew up and our school drew 2200 students from--a 3.75 got you into Stanford; a 3.5 Cal Berkeley--no questions asked. I was excited about the car--my friends and tennis team and gas station workers were too, but born on Feb 6, 1950 by May 1965 most my friends all had hot cars too.As Sophomores we all had Drivers Ed and most had Permits by our 15th Birthdays--I had a Work-Study job at Sharon Heights Shell (101 octane was 36 cents a gallon) and with Work Study and Deans List I had a provisional license for work, and after school Varsity Tennis in Spring; I could only drive alone until Feb 6 1966 at 16, I had a motorcycle too, and after my Dad passed away on Feb 13th 1966, I also had his 1964 Pontiac Tempest GTO Convertible to drive; and I did drive the GTO much more until I had to sell it (or the Mustang) in fall 1974 as I finished Grad School at Stanford that Spring, took that Summer off then went to work for JPMorgan on my Grandfathers ticket (he was friends with and worked with Rockefeller until he retired when I was born).Now that rounds it all out--and covers you questions. Thanks, "JC" Jeff Hayes.

Until next time. Chris' Back Story:On a rainy Sunday (January 31st 1965) New Zealand nationals living in San Fran Cisco Richard (Dick) and Carole Hince went car shopping to replace their aging car. This was to be their first ever “new car”. On the list was a Dodge Dart and the “Falcon with a fancy top”. In the back corner of William’s Ford Daly City, Carole spotted a 6 cylinder Ivy green hard top Mustang that was very much to her liking. After a positive test drive and having been in a friend’s Mustang late the year before, a decision was made. Dick, as was his style, consulted the price guide he had sourced earlier, and made a “reasonable” offer to the salesman. The is offer was rebuffed and the couple started to walk away stating that the Dart was next on their list. The Salesman followed them out of the show room and bought them back saying it was a slow day and he would take their stated price. In the office the Sales man’s face dropped when he enquired about the finance the couple would need, and Dick wrote a cheque for the full amount. (The sales document reads “Zero Monthly Payments of Zero dollars”). A year later the couple decided to return to New Zealand to visit with family not seen for over ten years, and in fact to meet each other’s families. An unexpected turn of events saw Carole pregnant with her first child and they decided to raise their family in New Zealand. Richard secured a lecturing role at Canterbury University (his Alma Mater) who offered to help them relocate their belongings back from the USA, including their new car. The Mustang was pressed into service of the burgeoning family of three boys all born within the next three years. The youngest of these, Chris, is you narrator. Time flies by to the mid-90s and the Mustang now unroadworthy but loved was put into storage. I set out on my overseas adventure with my new wife for half a decade, and returned home in the brand-new century to 2 cars in storage, a decision was made to abandon the Holden Torana and concentrate on the older and more desirable Mustang. My father and I spent the following 4 years slowly pulling the car to pieces and either repairing or replacing almost every piece. In the day before the Internet (well before it was in our house in any major way) advice was sought from around the country and across the Atlantic via phone, letter, and visits. Many solutions were nutted out sitting on the garage floor. 2004 saw the Mustang venture onto the road for the first time in a decade and a half to join the “Great New Zealand Mustang Run” celebrating 50 years of the Mustang. After a large number of questioning looks, a fuel blockage saw us on a tow truck headed home.In his dying days Dad insisted I take ownership of the Mustang. The Mustang now sits in my garage and is affectionally known as “The Stang”. Not quite a daily driver it is also no show car. We use it we share it. We take it to Rock and Roll festivals every year. Its not original but does have the original engine, rebuilt only once in 2013 when my father and I stripped it down. My mum still has a smile whenever she sees the Stang pull up to visit, I’m not sure if the grand kids or the car.

Chris, “The Doc” Ingrassia is back again to answer all of your questions relating to your classic Mustang. His knowledge of the business is second to none. At any given point he will have 20-30 Mustangs in his shop. He is the president of Mustang Restorations Inc and his family has been in the restoration business since 1980 although his love affair with Mustangs goes back well beyond that. Chris runs the show at Mustang Restoration and is here today to talk shop. Questions answered today by “The Doc” and Doug include: Does color changing a classic car really effect its value? I've lost my keys to the car. What can I do? I see you perform quite a few body style changes to Mustangs making hardtop Coupes into Convertibles & Fastbacks. Is this really worth it? I love the way my classic Mustangs looks. Its timeless in style.. But it brakes & steers like an amusement park ride. What can I do to make the car more user friendly without hurting its originality? These old classic's were produced at a time when gasoline had lead in it .. Should I be worried about pouring an additive into my gas tank? New cars today have so much in the way of occupant protection in the way of Air bags & Crumple zones & seat restraints. Should I worry much about the overall safety of my classic Mustang or the other non Mustang classics I have in my garage? How to go about decoding the VIN to get as much info from it about your car as possible. As well if there is a way to get a complete build sheet if the one in the car has been lost over time.
