I drive my 66 each and every day through rain, snow, heat, cold, dust, dirt, etc, etc. Paint is the only major item left (although I will buy parts for this car till the day I die). The resto has taken major time and $$$ being a daily driver - but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's going to stay a straight six 'cause she runs like a top. I figure if I need another V8 aside from my 96 I'll just go into debt and buy a 65 fastback. A lot of people say I am destroying the car by driving it every day. Screw that. I take care of it in every detail. I don't rag on the trailered cars or garage sitters 'cause that's cool too, but these cars want to be driven. Excuse me while I go lay down a little six cylinder burnout in the parking lot.
BTW I consider myself lucky as the 66 was my wife's car when we got married. Redheads look great in Stangs.
