Alright, so this page is for the 1966 Ford Mustang that my brothers and I just bought, with some help. Its a T code 200 ci inline 6. It was originally Acquamarine, with an automatic, and pony interior. The previous owner brought it to Europe when he was in the service, and because it spent so much time over there the car recieved some unique modifications.
This is how the car looks in the previous owners garage. The extra set of taillights was added in Spain, because Spain and much of Europe requier amber turn signles, so an extra set of taillights was added and amber lenses were put in in Spain. The color is British Leyland Blue, and the car was repainted in Italy.
This is a front angle of the car, and as you can tell the previous owner has taken good care of it.
Shot of the front fender, the car is in really good shape, but like almost any Mustang rust was a problem, much of which was taken care of by the previous owner, it just never made it back to the paint booth.
The mighty 200 cube six, complete with Ford one barrel carb.
Another shot of the motor, clearly needs a repaint too.
First shot of the interior, it does need a dash pad, and you can see that the interior has been redone. The seats are blue vinyl with cloth inserts, they may not be as stylish as the original Pony interior, but they might be more comfortable and easy to live with. You can also see the shifter which is hooked up to a Dagenham 4 speed, which was pulled out of a car in Spain, does anybody out there know anything about this gear box?
The trunk, full of goodies, like brake kits, two starters, an alternator, a waterpump, and complete extra chrome set for the whole car, as well as some other stuff, we haven't had time to go through it all, but there is also a header that goes with this car.
A shot of the nose to show that the front bumper was messed up and needs to be replaced, its worse than the back bumper. Both were dented when the car was being shipped back to the US from Europe, as well the gas tank being split, but it has a new gas tank.
Update 8/25/08. A few weeks ago our uncle told us that the brake master cylinder had no pressure, and the brakes wouldn't work. So afew days ago we ordered a new Master cylinder from rockauto for the whopping sum of $33, not bad, but then again, all drum, nonpower brakes will do that right. I'll let everybody know when we get the parts and get that problem straightened out.
The car did not have a complete set of hubcaps, 2 from '65, and 2 from '66. In October my dad went to the Thompson swat meet and picked up a set of '66 for a few bucks, I'll have pics of them soon.
