Sounds like Mr Doug Hasty has "hastily" "Dug" a hole for himself, and others.

Sounds to me like neither Mr. Hasty nor the local police properly understand the Texas laws about making "new" cars out of old junk. We have a manual in NC to explain titling rules to such enterprises. My dune buggy fell under those laws and they are WAAAY more complicated now than in 1974.
There is a lot of paperwork involved in "rebodying" and old car.

WOW is all I can say.  Unique Performance has quite a facility over there in Farmer's Branch.  They also work a LOT with Chip Foose on the both the '69 Camaro's and the '70 Challenger's that are all completely redone and worked over.  I know that with the Camaro's and Challenger's they're now using "crate" bodies as opposed to the '67 Mustang that they were taking the old bodies and doing all the work.  I know that when I get ready to put my '53 Superior Cadillac back on the road, it will be titled as a 1953 car here in Texas regardless of what's going in for drivetrain, suspension, etc.    My close friends have a fiberglass replicar and it will be titled as a 1933 and not a 2006.

Well I found out last night that my dad finally bought a Mustang.  Early production 65 D code 289 4bbl.  It has been totally and very nicely restored.  I would put it at a very high #2.  It's a small step below a trailer queen but I made dad promise to drive it.

First year 65D is 68?  That'd be pretty low production.  Less than 900 that body style. But not offered 289 4v.

Eh?

It's a D code engine.

To be a '64-1/2 at all, a Mustang has to be factory-equipped with a generator charging system, a 170ci six (U-code), a 260 2V (F-code), or a 289 4V (D-code)

PS - This is the ebay auction.  We went and looked after it didn't sell at auction.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170177571144 .  It looked even better in person.

PSS - Screw you two and your red with black interior comments.

Sorry, I thought that everyone knew early Mustang body styles are 65A, 65B, 65C, 76A, 76B, 76C.  The 65D wasn't used until 68.

My mistake - thought you meant the body style; not year & engine.  I see now it is a 76A - standard convertible.

Tell your father congratulations a pretty car; even though it is a 'stang.

What wrong with red and black  Huh

BTW, nice looking car. I'm guessing he paid more that the highest bid and less than the BIN.

Congratulations on getting the car he wants.

Now, it is up to him to enjoy it the way he wants to.

Fantastic looking ride!  I bet he's going to have plenty of fun cruising around this summer in that!
