New Owner 1966 Coupe Straight Six
« on: March 25, 2016, 11:02:38 am »
Hello felow pony lovers,

I've been in awe of mustangs for many many years and have finally been in a postion to own such a beauty, purchasing my first Stang two days ago! She's in the shop at the moment having a few upgrades done (Disc brake conversion & Power steering), but aside from these safety mods, i'll be keeping her as original as possible!

She came over from California, having only one owner, who did a partial resto with his son about six years ago. I look forward to breathing some life into her and bringing her back to full glory.

It has a T-Bar in the second pic, so a safe guess would be auto.

G'day RAF and welcome to the forum.

Keep us updated with what ever upgrades or work you do on the car, and as always, post plenty of pics.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Will most definitely post any updates, but will still be trying to keep the car as original as possible.
