Meet “Kitty”, my 58,000 mile, 1968 Mustang 6cyl 3sp, Gold Nugget Special survivor. It’s on its way to V8 conversion and Trans Am vibe.

It got the name Kitty due to my family acquiring a rescue cat while I was away for 90 days on work. I found out about the cat 1 week before I got home. So I determined I’d rescue my own “Kitty” when I returned.
What’s done so far is:
Drivetrain pulled
351C 4V, 4 bolt main engine acquired
5sp TKX acquired
9” 4.11 gear locker installed
Front 4 piston disc, 11” Mustang Steve rear drums installed
Mid eye rear springs/chopped 390 GT springs front installed
Trunk mount battery in progress

Still have the gold nugget emblem in the dash, BTW I love the '67-68 trans am look, more or less doing that with my car

Nope. Bought it off the original owner family and they peeled it off as a momento. Their dad gave the car to mom as a wedding anniversary gift in 1968, both deceased. I plan on mounting some guarded toggle switches there now.
Here’s a good example…

I’ve seen the HM car in the flesh, and there was a moment where I was going to go down that road with this car, FE power. I have a 69 CJ motor on my garage floor. Long story but it’s a good runner.
