1. How are they on gas
2. How hard is it to find parts
3. Are they Reliable
I will appreciate any and ALL information anyone can give me.

Thanks
My '66 is a restomod. Very few original parts without some modification. Actually, this does help reliability in many ways. Electronic ignition, radial tres, etc. Having said that, I usually do something each weekend to this car to make it perform at it's best. And I do spend a fair amount of money and time doing that.

My car gets about 13 MPG the way I have it set up. I do use Chevron Supreme for my modified engine. If you really want the most performance for the buck and low maintainance costs, then you will want a late model, electronically fuel injected Mustang GT.

I use mine on the weekend for fun. I just love old Mustangs and accept the extra costs. I do, however, harbor no delusions that they are (or even can be) the equivalent to a new car.
