Those crome trim pieces in front of the rear wheels, I was never able to figure out which came on what year. Ive seen these 2 differnt styles and also cars (like mine) with none. Which years had these?

Bottom is a 66. Top is a 65

 

What he said..

 

I like the 66 trim over any other year

 

I believe the GT's did not come with that trim.

 

I think you are thinking of the shelbe's that had scoops there

 

GT's and fastbacks did not have the trim

 

That trim piece was originally for an air induction system to cool the brakes on the original concept Mustangs. It just took to the production line because it looked cool. Even the most modern Mustangs have that fake air induction trim piece installed. Just one of those design things that makes it a Mustang.

 

hey, i have seen a 6 cylinder 66 without the trim pieces....... I dont think it was a GT either, but it did have pony interior.

 

Yeah, all production average models had them to include the 6 bangers, but the GT's were above fake trim.
