Default Pics of the 66 project

Here are the pics of the 289 2v c4 66 coupe (so far numbers matching) i picked up for $1500. floor/trunk pans done and new fuel sender and tank donr by po. does run but needs replacement battery cables, solenoid, and starter cable for reliability. Rust is minimal through out. will need to patch or replace shock towers as there are a few rust holes at there bases.

Body- shelby R front valance using stock bumper, shelby gt350 hood, GT rear valance, LED taillights, LED front signals, tri-bar headlights, GT fog lights with tri-bars, Blue with white shelby stripes

Drivetrain- Engine: 289 with ford 4100 carb, weiland stealth intake, AFR 165cc Heads, Tri-y headers 2.25" pipes and spintech mufflers Transmission: original c4 for now, swap to AOD when it dies Rear End: stock 8" with 2.80 (possibly step up gears after engine mods or transmission swap)

Interior- Black Standard with a few Deluxe interior touches, Re-wire entire car

Suspension- Shelby drop, NPD 1" lowering springs, uca's, lca's, roller spring perch, 1" front sway bar, new shocks, NPD special handling leaf springs (1/2" drop), kh front disc brakes, Dual MC

That is a really good buy at $1500. The big puddle of oil under the car is pretty scary!

I hope you saw the puddle of oil and green snow before you ran it! Nice buy though!

Sweet! Its good to see you got a pretty solid car. I kind of like the idea that you dont have any interior (do you have the seat frames though??) Mine didnt have interior and it made it easy to just do whatever I wanted.. Looks like you've got some great plans too.

there is a small leak in the radiatior in the front. iasked as well about the photos and he replaced the hose that was leaking. and about the oil, im not sure what it is. its been sitting in my garage for two days now with no puddles so im not too concerned yet.

the car came with rear and front seats along with new carpet and a headliner. i was going to install the driver seat but the bolts at the bottom dont line up with the floor pan, i think i just need a new rail but its been 12* here and i havnt got out there to check it out lol.

yeah for 1500 i was expecting more wrong with it..i was pretty surprised when i saw it

You probably just need to pull the seat slide handle and line the two sides up straight before trying to put them in..

Thats awsome about the headliner ad carpet though.. Thats a goo $200 saved..
