1969 Ford Mustang Sportsroof Restored

This Mustang Went From Basket Case To Beautiful Two Days At A TimeBrian Gibbs of Odenville, Alabama, had been looking for a classic Mustang to restore for a long time, with a particular interest in the fastback model. However, months and months of searching failed to turn up a car that a busy family man could afford. This '69 SportsRoof was spotted by one of his friends while driving down an Alabama back road after Gibbs had essentially given up on his search for a suitable car. This particular example was an original six-cylinder version of the very desirable body style and in seriously rough condition. There was an issue with the fuel tank, so the previous owner had rigged up the car to run from a gas can situated under the hood. This gives you an idea of just how bad the car was. Rusty panels seemed to be everywhere on the car and there was plenty of bodywork required on the useable panels. Even in light of these considerable challenges Brian decided to go forward with the project and a purchase price was worked out for $1,200. He was enthused by his good fortune in finding a complete classic Mustang for that price. Even though the car needed major repairs in almost every category, he was undaunted by the size of the job before him. You see, Brian is a metal fabricator by trade and he felt confident in his ability to tackle the comprehensive repair project. He also felt that, given his low investment going in, he had little to lose and a whole lot to gain.
