My newest 1966 Mustang Coupe

This was taken September '97 in San Antonio, Texas. (The new one's in the foreground). The car is painted Vintage Burgundy, although it was originally Emberglo. It has it's original Emberglo and Parchment pony interior, however, as you will see it needs a lot of help to get back into good shape. It has the stock 200 cid straight 6 (See below) with a 1V carb. Other options include power steering, five lug wheels (not original), C-4 automatic transmission, and visibility group (2spd wipers, remote side mirror, day/night rear view mirror).

Under the hood. This is the stock straight six, although it is not the original. (Engine block part number begins D8... or 1978).

The pony interior needs some work, but I'm confident it will look great once I'm done with it. The original driver's seat is in the trunk. The seat shown here as the driver's seat is actually the passenger seat, and the passenger side had a black 67 seat. Someone apparently thought this seat looked better all red, and spray painted it. :[


The instrument panel face is no longer pony, nor is the door handles or that hideous steering wheel. I have put the woodgrain wheel back on, but all of the horn ring pieces are missing.


This part of the interior's not so bad, but there's still a lot of work to be done.

Update.

The interior is coming along. I have installed new pony door handles, replaced the glovebox door woodgrain, and put in a new shift bezel. I used some old black upholstery off my other Mustang to patch the driver's seat, so now I have put the original seats back where they go and removed the passenger 1967 seat it had. Also, thanks to some new Internet friends (such as Mr. Fomoco) I have fully restored the woodgrain wheel with all original Ford parts. I'm still looking for Emberglow front seat belts and a pony instrument face, so let me know if you can help. I have also installed new parchment colored pony door panels (not shown).


Here you can see the only major body damage. The drivers door functions right (after a little help), but I won't be doing the cosmetic work for a while yet.


Don't they look cute there together. Hmmm, I think I'll drive the Burgundy 66 Mustang today...
