ok. well its a 66 coupe. car is almost completely original. i just picked it up today. Colour is white. interior seems to be in complete original condition. Now since i am a p-plate, no v8 for me, so i have the striaght 200ci six mounted to the auto box. But when i started the car today to drive it off the trailer she purred well. The only issue is flat battery and replacement if floor pan (not sure if whole section is needed).Otherwise just surface rust here and there. The original white wall tires are there (well at least for now i beleive they are the original). The car has a readout of 8000kays but probaly clocked over.
other things are that it has the delux steering wheel but it is in need of a better day.
yeah so i may have some specs wrong but it just came today.

Hi Jaron,

I recently had my floors replaced by Jason @ Pigdon Automotive. He is on this forum as Jas24zzk. I had the complete floor replaced and he did a great job at a good price. Check out this thread for a cost and time breakdown. http://www.mustang.org.au/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1769.

Welcome and I hope you enjoy her.
