You know when you fall in love and start making all kinds of unreasonable and illogical decisions? That clearly happened with the guy who built this incredible 1966 Ford Mustang. With a burly 302and#44; a high-impact color combinationand#44; and upgraded chassisand#44; its nastyand#44; its fastand#44; and its quite nicely finished. That vivid yellow paint wasnt on the 1966 Ford color chartand#44; but nobodys going to argue that it doesnt look awesome on the first-generation pony cars sheetmetal. Theres surely a big pile of cash tied up in making it look this goodand#44; and since they started with an ultra-clean southern carand#44; theres no question that its right. The paint is two-stage urethane that practically glows in the darkand#44; but no liberties were taken with the shape save for the hood scoopand#44; so its still instantly recognizable as a Mustang. You could really take it up a notch with a professional wet sand and buffand#44; which would really bring out the shineand#44; but then againand#44; you might be afraid to drive it if you make it too nice. Theres a neat tribal-looking pinstripe (if you can call it that) running down the sidesand#44; which highlights the kick-up just behind the doorsand#44; a feature you dont usually notice on a Mustang. With a correct grilleand#44; shiny chrome bumpersand#44; and just a bit of stainless trimand#44; the car is definitely ready for primetime. Despite full resto-mod makeover on the hardwareand#44; the black interior retains a lot of the original style but offers modern comfort and convenience. The original bucket seats were retainedand#44; and are split by a custom center console that houses the Hurst shifter for the 5-speed manual transmission as well as a couple of useful cup holders. New black carpetsand#44; original style door panelsand#44; and a factory dash pad keep it in touch with its pastand#44; but a Sunpro tach on the steering column and that small-diameter wood steering wheel let you know this isnt a stock Mustang. A JVC AM/FM/CD stereo will rattle your fillingsand#44; but not before the engine causes your heart to flutter. The trunk is perhaps the most stock part of the carand#44; with a correct mat and full-sized spare with coverand#44; plus the accessory tool bag to match. Nice! This car started out as an A-code 289 with a 4-barreland#44; so it was already potent before any of the work startedand#44; but both that 289 and the slushbox transmission were yanked in favor of a built 302 cubic inch V8 and the aforementioned Tremec 5-speed. Theres still a 4-barrel carburetor on topand#44; this one from Holleyand#44; and it uses a Summit Racing aluminum intake and Edelbrock aluminum heads to make some extra horsepower. Accel ignition components light it upand#44; and before it all went back togetherand#44; they took some time to really detail the engine bayand#44; which looks awesome with satin black inner fenders and those finned valve covers. Custom long-tube headers dump into a Flowmaster dual exhaust system that has that familiar Mustang growl and 4-wheel disc brakes haul it down from speedand#44; a nice find in a car of this vintage and at this price. Classic Torque Thrust wheels wear aggress 245/45/17 performance radials and tuck neatly under the fenders for the perfect stance. Aggressive in every way that matters and detailed with restoration photosand#44; this is a very affordable high-performance Mustang that gets everything right.
