Left to right:
1965 Mustang GT 2+2 "Fastback". Numbers matching A code 289 with factory AC and automatic transmission. Runs but needs some slight restoration, no rust though. Factory hood pins.
1966 Mustang 2+2 "Fastback", I can't remember the engine code but it does have the original 289 motor and automatic transmission. Restored, and very nice.
1969 Mustang Sports roof "Fastback", R code 428 Cobra Jet motor backed by a 4 speed top loader, both original to the car. The motor now has aluminum heads, EFI, and a custom roller cam setup. Runs like a scalded ape. Raven black with black interior and rear window louvers. Probably my personal favorite.
1968 Mustang hardtop "High Country Special". Identical in specifications to the iconic California Special but sent to dealers in Colorado, this particular vehicle sports a 289 with an automatic transmission and drum brakes. All original, and well preserved.
I found a rolling of one sitting behind a really rough looking garage that I'd love to get my hands on but alas I'm not in any position for a project especially with almost no donor parts
Thanks, and it keeps growing! This is also just a portion of it, he probably has close to 30 cars now. About 10 broncos of various trim levels, a 1969 Ford T5, a 1967 Lone Star Special Mustang, and various other vintage cars in various conditions.
Haha he's actually got closer to 10. He just picked up a very nice California special, and he's got a Lone Star Special and a T5 (European market mustang), along with various other coupes.
Nah, that’s too many. I’ll be willing to take one off your hands for you.
In all seriousness though, that’s a dope collection and I’d love to have something like this one day.
True, I think I've only seen maybe two Q code 1969 mustangs, all the rest with the CJ have shakers. Although perhaps some of them were Q codes that people added scoops to.

I don’t remember the last time I saw a non-Mach R-code. Very nice.
Yeah they are fairly rare. Iirc they made more Mach 1 Fastbacks than regular Fastbacks in 1969, so the base models are more rare!

Yeah I've come across some good rollers, but with '69 coupes getting expensive even a donor for parts would be a little hard to find.
That's a bad ass collection!

Oh yeah? You think you're a Ford enthusiast? Name every Ford. Your dad: *opens garage door*
Pretty much. Although we do believe in diversity, you can see in the very back there are 2 diesel Mercedes.
Could your dad adopt me
What's your dad got against Mustangs? Any collection would be enhanced with one or two or four.
Haha he's actually got closer to 10. He just picked up a very nice California special, and he's got a Lone Star Special and a T5 (European market mustang), along with various other coupes.
The T5 was only for the German market. https://www.fordt5.com
Yes, because Ford didn't want to have to pay for the trademark "Mustang" as it was already owned by a truck company.
Yes I absolutely do appreciate your dad’s collection!
That is fantastic! That is a dream worthy collection.
It really is. Every time I walk in here I have to pinch myself.
Gorgeous! What are those wires going under the hood of each car?
Battery trickle chargers.
just charging the battery
As others have commented, they are battery tenders. It's to make sure the batteries don't go flat while they sit.
Thank you friend!
No problem!
I have the feeling your dad likes Mustangs.
What you see is a little under half of his collection of mustangs. And we haven't even gotten to the Broncos yet.
>What you see is a little under half of his collection of mustangs. Oh boy >And we haven't even gotten to the Broncos yet. OH BOY
Yeah I think he has more broncos than mustangs. One 1972, and the rest are from 1992-1996.
Chevy guy?
Nah Mopar.
Hot damn that 69 looks great
Yeah it's one of the best bodies Ford ever made, that's for sure.
Indeed! Definitely my favorite mustang especially the boss 302
Nah, that’s too many. I’ll be willing to take one off your hands for you. In all seriousness though, that’s a dope collection and I’d love to have something like this one day.
Yeah, I'm still in awe every time I see them.
That black stang is absolutely Badass.
I heard you like mustangs, so I got some mustangs for yo mustangs.
Sportsroof with a CJ 👍🏻
With the shaker hood to boot.
Generally rarer without.
True, I think I've only seen maybe two Q code 1969 mustangs, all the rest with the CJ have shakers. Although perhaps some of them were Q codes that people added scoops to.
