1966 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE THIS AUCTION IS FOR A 1966 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM AN ESTATE. THE OWNER, WHO WAS THE SECOND OWNER, HAD PASSED AWAY SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND HIS WIDOW DECIDED TO SELL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN THE EARLY 1980'S BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. HE HAD STARTED A RESTORATION IN THE 80'S, BUT NEVER WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE RESTORATION. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STORED IN HIS GARAGE SINCE THEN.THE MUSTANG IS SILVER FROST WITH BLACK INTERIOR AND BLACK TOP. IT IS A 289-2V AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE SILVER FROST IS A RELATIVLEY RARE COLOR IN THE SCHEME OF MUSTANG COLORS IN 1966. FROM OUR RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 3% BUILT IN THIS COLOR. THE MUSTANG IS READY AND DESERVING TO HAVE THE RESTORATION COMPLETED.THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD STARTED A RESTORATION ON THE VEHICLE. FROM SPEAKING TO HIS FAMILY AND FROM SOME OF THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS RECEIVED WITH THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARS HE HAD THE METAL WORK COMPLETED BY A LOCAL BODY SHOP AT THE TIME. THE MUSTANG HAS NOS QUARTERS INSTALLED AS WELL AS NOS REAR TAIL PANEL AND TRUNK FLOORS. IT APPEARS THAT ANY REPLACED SHEETMETAL WAS NOS. FROM INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS SOME FLOOR REPAIR AS WELL AS REPAIR TO A FEW SPOTS ON THE RAILS. A NEW BATTERY APRON WAS ALSO INSTALLED. YOU WILL NOTE FROM THE PHOTOS THE BODY LINES, ESPECIALLY THE REAR VALANCE TO THE REAR QUARTERS AND THE DOOR TO QUARTER FITAMENT,WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IT WAS SITTING ON A BODY CART AND THE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION WAS NOT ON THE VEHICLE. NONE OF THE BOLT-ON SHEETMETAL WAS ON THE VEHICLE EITHER. THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE A ROLLER. WE PUT THE SUSPENSION BACK UNDER THE VEHICLE. PLEASE NOTE FINAL ADJUSTMENT AND ALIGNMENT WAS NOT COMPLETED AS WE WERE JUST MAKING THE VEHICLE A ROLLER FOR THE PURPOSE OF MOVING IT. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH, WHAT APPEARS TO BE, MOST OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS. SOME OF THE PARTS MAY NEED REPLACED OR REFURBISHED DEPENDING ON LEVEL OF RESTORATION YOU DESIRE.THE REAR SUSPENSION WAS CLEANED UP AND INSTALLED. THE OWNER HAD A NEW SET OF REAR SPRINGS. IT ALSO HAD NOS U-BOLTS. NO SHOCKS WERE INSTALLED NOR WAS ANY OF THE BRAKES REPLACED.

THERE IS A NEW CENTER LINK AS WELL AS TIE ROD ENDS. THE VEHICLE HAD SOME LIGHT OXIDATION ON THE PANELS, SO WE SANDED DOWN AND SHOT SOME PRIMER ON THE VEHICLE. YOU WILL OBVIOUSLY NEED TO GO OVER THE PANELS FOR FINAL PAINT PREPARATION TO YOUR DESIRED LEVEL OF RESTORATION. WE ALSO INSTALLED MOST OF THE SHEET METAL ON THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO FRONT VALANCE AND THE FRONT FENDERS ON THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE LEFT FENDER WAS AN AFTERMARKET AND DOES NOT FIT LIKE AN ORIGINAL. THE RIGHT FENDER IS A FORD FENDER BUT APPEARS TO HAVE RUST REPAIR AND HAS CURRENT RUST ON THE PANEL. THE RIGHT DOOR IS FORD AND HAS A RUST HOLE AS WELL AS DRILLED HOLES IN THE SKIN.
