My elderly aunt bought this gtcs new in 68 in Los Angeles. She is the proverbial "little old lady from Pasadena" who only drove it to church and the grocery store and an annual trip to Vegas to gamble. It only has 120,000 miles on it. Her son had mostly restored it (only some minor interior work left) when he "threw a rod" while giving it a tuneup (helluva tuneup) and then my aunt went blind and it's been sitting in a garage for 15 years. I will check the VIN and get a report on it as recommended in some posts I see, but I know it's the real deal since I've got all the paperwork Anyway, it's mine now.
My question is this -- I live in Oakland CA and am having it towed her ein a few weeks and am considering Mostly Mustangs to replace the engine (289 2V). does any one have an opinion on them? Anyone else good in this area? Should I have them rebuild my original block or put another rebuilt one in? What's the best for maximizing the car's value? Is there a big difference?
thanks to you all for any help
