New member 66 GT Coupe
« on: March 28, 2015, 09:57:40 am »
Ok so I thought I should introduce myself - Hi my names Scott I'm from Brisbane and am the proud owner of a Candy Apple Red 66 GT coupe.
Attached a pic below - hopefully
Had XY's years ago but then wives houses kids etc came along and away went the XY as a daily drive. Years later and the wife - god bless her suggested we should look at another weekend car!   :omg: :evilone: :cheers: :pepper:

So that lead us to our new pride and joy - she was a one owner black plate California car that we have full documentation for dating back to the original delivery paperwork and all rego papers from delivery through til 1983 when the car was taken off the road and stored.

It was imported as one of two 66 GT's by a member of MOCA in Canberra who had the car stripped back to bare where there was zero rust found and then resprayed and fitted with a new white interior. factory air is fitted to the car as was power steer but I have removed this as it was way too light and it leaked more than I cared to keep fixing

It is an A code 225hp four barrell 289 but driveline is pretty much all stock.

I am i the process of joining the Qld owners club and we went on the recent run up to Toowoomba which was a blast - 35 odd Mustangs cruising up the highway from Brisbane looked awesome!

Look forward to catching up with other owners and chatting on here!

Cheers guys,

Bumblebee, yes Reg did a great job - I got lucky when he decided he wanted to downsize from two to one car!

My Dad was a long time member of MOCA in Canberra he owned a 67 coupe and he and Mum both knew Reg for many years before Dad died.

It was actually pretty cool to find the connection between them when it came time for us to buy our own Mustang.

Cheers
