I baught the car in October '96when I was 20. It was the first roadworthy Mustang I'd ever baught. It was a mess, but I fell in love with it. The '66 "talked" to me. I got it running right, replaced a bunch of nitpicky things, and put new interior in it. I drove it EVERYWHERE. In 1 1/2 years I drove 45,000 miles. I was about 200 miles from 30,000 in one year when it blew a head gasket. I drove another 200 miles and then fixed it. It was LOUD!! It was a 6 cyl, so I also had a split manifold made for it.

Anyway, for some stupid reason I traded it for a '69 coupe, that blew the trans bofore I even got it home. I really hated that.

Some kid who didn't know anything about old cars ended up with my '66. it went downhill fast. When I baught it back from him I had to have it towed home. It's been almost 2 years, and Istill haven't gotten a chance to fix it. Now, it is not even in the same state as me.

I'll get this car restored one of thease days if it's the last thing I ever do!!!
