Will never forget going to a LARGE car show in the 90's and among all the 64.5 - 73 mustangs was a 65 2+2 with a factory 200 "thriftpower" 6 cylinder, 3 speed manual. Black on red. It was a beautiful car and I stopped to check out this stunner that no one else seem to want to look at. The owner had before and after photos and boy, did he put a lot of time in the restoration. The paint was phenomenal. The interior was mostly original. One could eat off the underside. He had all the original tags and grease pencil marks. It was a flawless car with all OEM parts. I asked him why so much attention to what some we deem not worth the effort or money,.being a 6 cylinder car. He said he had other V8 cars. He just wanted a nice representation of a regular car that most people drove. "Few mustangs were Hi-po." Dude ended up winning best in class, as well he should have. But there was a lot of murmuring among the other mustang entrants. Evidently, if it is not a V8, it is inferior pedigree. Lol! People are weird. I like cars. A mint condition Pinto is gonna attract my attention over an over restored Camaro.
Oh, you said a bad word, starts with a "C", the ultimate "belly button" car, everyone has one!! LOL. Yes, my 64 Ranchero has the mighty 200 in it, recently re-built and runs like a top, and I have a 5 speed, from a late 90's Mustang behind it to "keep up with traffic" should I get into a fast crowd!! I also have cars with 302's and one with a 390, but they are automatics. The Ranchero is the funnest to drive!! LOL :D
I’m exactly the same. I love everything that feels genuine and not just like a big unpersonal heap of cash, which a lot of really cool cars end us as.
I personally get off of everything unrestored with patina and a feel of life.
The money's in the restomods so the flippers are grabbing up the stock cars so there won't be many left original. It's really too bad. I have a 65 c code 2v that I keep original. It's just a nice cruiser, not bad on gas with a light foot.
Great Video, Love the 65-66,
The 65-66 Mustang is one of the best looking cars of all time.
Yup, pretty much. Funny thing is, that at the time it came out, as I remember, it was "interesting" but not as desirable as say a 409 Chevy Impala or an initial GTO, in 1964!! And a 64 Thunderbolt Fairlane was completely "under the radar" then, being only seen at the drag strips, and everyone one of us kids were saying: "WTH is that God damn thing"!! ;D
Keep on Keeping On ,Steve...
Nice!!!!!!!!! 👍👍
Somebody did a great job on it, and the plus is the interior is aged just right from time.
that grand national looks sinister cheers steve
Nice car and presentation. Dad had one with same color back in the day.
This started life as a 289 V8, with the VIN for the win (from the HOC website): 6 for 1966 model year, T for Metuchen, NJ assembly, 09 for two door fastback/2+2, C for 289 V8 with two barrel and the rest is the production sequence. The Metuchen, NJ plant was also called Edison Assembly and it closed in 2004. During 1966, Mustangs were also built at the Dearborn, MI (through the 2004 model year) and San Jose, CA assembly (also called Milpitas Assembly which closed in 1983).
No tag, can't brag.
Yup, I got a 64 Ranchero, R code, of San Jose, or Milpitas assembly plants, as you said, in about 2006, work done in the Sacramento area. Nice Body, the rest was a basket case until I got a few friends to work on it..... in exchange for pizza and beer, the "coins of the realm" for payment, as anyone knows, who owns these cars, and had friends who knew more than you did, which is not too hard in my case!! LOL ;D
@@ronschlorff7089 Sounds like too many cases of "liquid courage" there. LOL.
@@googleusergp Say what? Is that a "southern" saying? LOL
No I use it all the time.
Beautiful machine. But my tastes do run more towards the Group Two Shelby built homologation specials
This car needs Steve McQueen behind the wheel 😎 because cool 😎
Bullit was a 68 Mustang GT 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE V8. Just saying.
@@MauiWauiPineappleExpress yup, but this one may have "flown better" over those SF streets!! LOL ;D
Steve's a wealth of info on Mopar. Ford though, not so much. It is fun when you have to sell cars you're not really into.
The rear seat in 65-66 (as well as 67-68) notchbacks was not meant for 5 passengers Steve, there is a bolster down middle. The 2+2 designation as used on 65-68 fastbacks is in the European tradition for GT cars, a 2 seater with room for 2 more in a pinch. Interestingly, as you know, a car had to be a sedan to race in TransAm and thus the notchbacks were used. Put Ford in a bit of a pickle as they could not race their sporty model in what was becoming an incredibly popular race series. So what does Ford do…add a little window to the 69 fastback, drop reference to 2+2 and rechristened the body style as a “sportsroof.” The fastback was now a sedan and eligible for TransAm.
LeMans bars? ( S/B Monte Carlo bar and Export Brace )
Yes' Monte carlo bar ' as I recall first seen on the Falcons competing in the Monte Carlo rally. At least Le mans is in the same neck of the woods.
that caught my ear too. I got one for my Ranchero, but not installed yet. Seen nightmarish vids on you tube on how much of a bitch they can be to put in due to movement of the shock towers on these old cars over the years, they "resist" going back to stock locations!! The Export braces being even more trouble I've seen, but folks swear by them as "cheap solutions" to certain front-end issues!!
I like Steve; what he does not know about cars... probably does not need to be known! Just witness his knowledge of the relative car sales on this one; I did not know that, but suspected the early Mustangs were popular as rag tops. In my high school, at the time, 1964, many of the little Chickies, especially the cheer leaders, with rich daddies, got them as "grad presents", and few months earlier, since they came out early in the year, most years. LOL
About the car: pretty nice, but not my "cup of tea". First, it's a "belly button" car, everyone has one at the car shows, not like my 64 Fairlane 500 or 67 Mercury Cyclone GT, for examples; and it's a bit overdone, but it would "stand out" and be looked at. These model year cars were fine just "out of the box"! No need to "soup them up" as we once said in our lingo of the time. But if road racing is your thing today, I can understand. Love the color, Vintage Burgundy (VB) I think, which is the supposed color of my Fairlane, but it's a bit too red, and not enough purple, like this beautiful Mustang. There were allegedly two colors for true Fairlane Thunderbolts, VB and Wimbledon White; for each about 50 were made at the factory. Mine is not a T-bolt; it's just a lowly 302, likely once a former six-cylinder car, since it is in such good shape body-wise!! LOL ;D
For goodness sakes, start the darn car up??!!
