PLEASE HAVE YOUR MONEY READY WHEN YOU BID - DO NOT WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS BY BIDDING AND NOT HAVING YOUR FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN ORDER. 1966 Ford Mustang convertible- 3 owner car- Original Charlotte, NC car- Spent last 40+ years in South Georgia w/2nd owner- All matching numbers- Original and spare set of keys- Original door-tag- Original factory RED car- Original pony interior- Original convertible top boot- 34,367 original miles Car's intake was changed from a factory FoMoCo 2bbl to a Holley 4bbl, about 40 years ago, and the owner kept the original factory-take-off 2bbl intake and carburetor & it comes with the car. Car was painted about 25 years ago - On a scale from 1 to 10 I would put the paint at a 4 - The car is old, unrestored and a bit tired - Car appears to have had floor pans but quarter panels are original - There is typical Mustang-related rust on the car as it is 51 years old and never been restored - The passanger side torque box is rusted and may need to be replaced. The trunk floor on the drivers side has some pinholes that will need to be addressed and the passenger side door bottom has allot of rust (but the drivers side does not have as much) - I am thinking water got trapped in the inside of the door and over decades it rusted out the bottom of that one door? You also have several little bubbles on the front of the hood (where the letters O and D are missing). There is other small bubbles and areas of rust around the car but nothing that would require panel replacement. The top goes up and down fine - The top has a clear back plastic window and the only flaw in the top is a small cut near the center of the top that is less then 1/2 an inch in size and does not go thru the top so thus it does not allow water into the car. When I bought the car it had not been driven for over 10 years. I brought a new battery with me, carb cleaner, 5 gal of gas & some basic tools and within 20 minutes had it running & driving. Drove it 50 miles and the brakes started to lock up when they got hot (factory 4 wheel drum) - Using my local brake shop I paid over $ 2,000.00 to have the entire factory-correct brake system replaced - New everything including an original master cylinder rebuild. Drove it home from there and have had no further issues - Since that time I have done the following to the car: - New battery- New upper and lower radiator hoses- New gas tank, lines & sending unit- New correct carpet with underlayment- All fluids drained/replaced- Transmission serviced Things that I have not gotten to: - Radio does not work (it is a late 1970's PIONEER unit)- Passenger side rear window does not roll down- Will need shocks and tires if you plan on driving it. The tires are very hard (though they still have lots of tread on them) and the shocks are very old- Electrical gremlins under-dash I WILL BE HAPPY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. PLEASE ASK! If you e-mail me thru eBay I will answer the question and then post the Q&A for all to see on the auction. I have lots of pictures and am happy to e-mail them to you. Please send me your direct email address and I will email them all to you. This is a car that you can occasionally drive & enjoy now and do weekend restoration projects on it as you go along. Every place it goes it always draws a crowd. Inspections are welcome. Car is located in sunny Charleston, SC. No trades please.
