After 15 years of wanting a 1966 Mustang I finally bought one today. Am picking it up Saturday morning and cannot wait. A friend looked it over top to bottom for me and said it was in excellent condition. Any suggestions for a first time classic Mustang owner?

Thank you in advance,
Steven

Upgrade brakes!

 

Here is the website with a bunch of pictures.

The brake system has been upgraded, but I am unsure if they changed to disc brakes or replaced the drums.

 

I would have paid about 8K for it

 

Paid less than that... Ended up negotiating a price of $7400.

Note that it also includes a rebuilt 289 and a tranny (not rebuilt, don't know which one it is). Oh, and a cover for it

 

Jake, you an Auburn or alabama fan (alabama purposely in all caps)?

 

Correction, alabama purposely in all lowercase...

 

Congrats on purchase!

 

Thanks Templar... I am excited...
