DAY OF THE SALE

I have always loved early Mustangs. I am originally from New Zealand and I owned a 66 and 68 Coupes over there. I now reside in the USA and knew I had to get one again. My step daughter actually saw this for sale off main street and told me about it. I went and checked it out.Unfortunatly it was not a V8 model but there was more good than bad to warrant buying it.It was a 6 cylinder 'T' code 3 speed stick shift, painted Nightmist Blue, non power brakes and manual steering. It had good floors and mostly original, the upholstery was really nice the car overall was in good condition considering its age. I knew I had more work cut out for me to convert it to a V8 but since I already had an engine lined up for it, I thought what the hell and brought it (wish I knew then what I know now lol).

The car on the day I brought it.....just a plain Jane.




And finally a shot of the 200ci inline 6 cyl, had more power then I thought but had a electrical problem in the dizzy, it would die like it was out of gas every now and then.
