1966 Ford Mustang

[Pats300zx]

Today's detail is of a pure classic. A 1966 Mustang with an original 15,000 miles on the odometer. The car was purchased at Barrett Jackson and has an original 289 cubic inch engine. The paint has some issues and is at about a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Needless to say I love working on the classics. I didn't want to go to hard on this 42 year old paint so I decided to do my best to clean it up.



The owner is a true car freak. Tomorrow he takes delivery of a 1976 2002 BMW. A new Nissan GTR is on order and should be here in August. I can't wait to get my hands on it.



When I was done I had to take the owner to pick up his 1974 Nissan 240Z that was being worked on at the the shop.

You detailed there before. That GORGEOUS home stands out, I remember it. It makes for a nice back drop to your photos.

Looks great, I love Springtime Yellow. Oh, BTW, it's a '66 not a '67. Sorry to be the year model police again... :chuckle:

Wow, It probably looks better now than it did back in 1966!



Great job Pat!
