1966 Ford Mustang (Candyapple Red)

Modifications

Drivetrain
Fairly stock A-Code 289 4V, correct 1.08 Autolite 4100 carburetor, cast iron intake, Tri-Y headers, and factory correct dual exhaust. Transmission is a correctly-tagged Toploader wide ratio 4-speed.
Interior
This car is a true 63B deluxe interior car (black), and I kept it factory-correct. The only modification to the interior was the addition of a factory under-dash air conditioning system. Other rare options ordered on the car have all been restored to new condition, including deluxe seat belts with warning light, AM 8-track radio, 2-Speed Wipers, & Rally Pac.
Exterior
Originally painted Sauterne Gold, but was changed to period correct Ford Candyapple Red finished in BC/CC. (Very mixed emotions about that change).
Audio
Factory AM/8-Track
Suspension
Factory correct suspension, GT-equipped Kelsey Hays 4-piston (non-power) front disc/rear drum brakes. Only major upgrade is the addition of Koni shocks.
Wheel and Tire
14" styled steel wheels, with the factory 8" 3.00:1 rear end upgraded to a Ford limited slip.
