Good morning. I am proud to say I am a new classice Mustang owner. Although I have owned Fords all my life, I've never owned a Mustang. I've looked, but embarrassingly enough, I'm mechanically challenged and don't have a lot of experience with cars, mechanics of cars, and evaluating the quality or worth.
However, I wanted to do something cool for my son since he is becoming a Mustang fanatic. I bought him this:
http://www.imagemotorcompany.com/1966_Must_teal.shtml
If any of you could look at it and provide your professional opinion I would be very grateful. I'm most interested in your general opinions about the condition and value of the vehicle.
The strange things that immediately come to my attention are:
- It supposed to be a 1966 GT 350 but the front end doesn't look like other 66 GTs I've seen on the Internet.
- It say 286 on the front quarter panel emblem but it has a 302.
I am paying $13K for this. Am I getting ripped off?
Here are some other specs:
302 Short block assy with less than 3000K miles
Bored 30 over
Flat top pistons
ARP rod bolts
Crank turned 10/10
Holley 750 Dbl barrel carb
Clevite Bearings
Millings High volume oil pump
Ford Motorsport timing chain
Factory 271HP Cam
65 289 Heads
Stainless steel Intake & Exhaust valves
Headers
Traction Bars
Dual springs
Aluminum retainers
Screw in studs
Port matched
C4 Transmission with shift kit
TCI Converter
Brand new aluminum radiator

Brand new tires 295-50-15 Rear 195-60-15 front
New Kenwood/Alpine/Pioneer Sound system valued at $1200
New shocks and chrome shock towers
Pertronix ignition system
My son does not know it has been purchased and it doesn't arrive for another week and I want this to be a good experience for him.
Your comments and knowledge are greatly appreciated.
