Good to see you back at it again. 1966 Mustang with the VIN for the win: 6 for 1966 model year, T for Metuchen, NJ assembly, 07 for two door hardtop, A for 289 CID V8 with four barrel and the rest is the production sequence. The Metuchen, NJ plant was also called Edison Assembly and closed in 2004. With the tag (from the HOC website), you can brag: 65A for two door hardtop with bucket seats, R for Ivy Green exterior paint, 26 for Black Crinkle and Black Rosette vinyl interior trim, 15J for Wednesday September 15, 1965 production (or possibly Thursday September 15, 1966), 16 for Philadelphia, PA sales district, 1 for 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, non-locking, and 5 for four speed manual transmission. 1970 Mustang with the VIN (from the HOC website), for the win: 0 for 1970 model year, F for Dearborn, MI assembly, 02 for two door fastback, F for 302 CID V8 with two barrel and the rest is the production sequence. Exterior paint is code "U" Grabber Orange.
All GT's in 66 came with the fog lamps as standard equipment with the GT package. The Rallye Pak, which consisted of a clock and tach mounted on the steering collum, was optional. here is a copy of the text from a 66 brochure that outlined what came with the GT package: Here's where you can really let yourself go. Choose your Mustang4Hardtop, Convertible or 2+2 and make it a Mustang GT with the GT Equipment Group ! Distinctive GT Identity and Conveniences: GT badges on front fenders. GT stripe (like Ford's GT racing car) running front to rear along the lower body. A pair of 4-inch fog lamps (clear lenses) mounted in the grille. Distinctive GT Power: You can have either the hot 225-hp Challenger Special V-8 (10 to 1 comp, ratio, 4-barrel carb., hydraulic lifters) or a real scorcher, the 271-hp Cobra V-8 (10.5 to 1 comp, ratio, 4-barrel carb., solid lifters). Both engines in Mustang GT's come equipped with special low-restriction dual exhaust systems. And chrome flared tailpipe extensions tell the onlookers what's under the hood ! Distinctive GT Performance: Special Handling Package (tauter suspension, faster steering) plus fade-resisting front disc brakes give you a kind of precise control you never thought possible in an American car! Options to go with the GT Group? Of course ! Rally Pac, 4-speed stick, 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic, styled steel wheels . . . and nearly all the Mustang options described in preceding pages !
Awesome cars! Thanx for highlighting these two icons of American Muscle! Great to see you back Steve, keep ‘em coming! Looking greatb best wishes to you! 👌💐👏😎👍🏼
Looks to me like you're getting stronger and stronger with each video - keep up the great work - you know everyone who watches your fabulous video is pulling for you!!!
Beautiful looking Mustang! In 1974 my older brother had a 67 fastback gt black with the 4 speed manual. It had those same beautiful wheels! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and history of this beautiful cars! Wishing you well!🙏❤️🩹
If memory serves me correctly, my father's '66 Mustang Coupe with the 200cid six and a three-speed manual, also had the 140mph speedometer in the that same style gauge cluster.
Hi Steve looking good my friend.... my friends dad had a 66 GT in turquoise... he used to take his three sons and me to the santa cruz beach boardwalk in the 70s in that car... we'd ride the rollercoaster non stop as it never seemed too busy when we were there.. anyway my friends older brther still has the car and it looks as good as it did back then.. keep on keepin on👍thanks for sharing
Memories, I had a forest green 1966 mustang GT fastback with the rare combo of 4 speed and factory AC.. I bought this car in 1985 fully restored for $4800 I sold it 3 months later for $7800 I thought I made a killing LOL. I think the values gone up.
I'm not a big fan of Mustangs, but I wouldn't mind having a stripped-down base model. 6 cylinder, 3 speed manual, no options. Just something to drive around town.
Looking better and better every day Steve
Great to see and hear you Steve!!
"Midnight parts store", your one-of-a-kind Steve!!! Continue your healing my brother!!

Great work, Steve. Amazing to see your Gofundme is already over it's target 😄👍
The man is certainly loved.
Keep them video's coming! You're getting better every day Steve
The GTs came with the fog lights in '65-'66 as part of the GT package. The "Rally-Pak" was/is the column mounted tach & clock.
Both beautiful cars. And they both have the Ford factory oem wheels and real tires, something you don't see very often anymore.
Looks great Steve! I had a ‘66 Fastback K-code GT, bought it in 1972 for $800.
The steering wheel on the 66 is a pony interior wheel. It is not a standard interior steering wheel.
Great vid Steve, cool car!!!!!! 🤜🤛
Thanks🇨🇦
Glad steve is back, not that Nick wasn't doing a great job.😉
The earlier '65s did not have the wire on gas cap but started later in the '65 model year.
Great video
I remember them well.
Nice
1965 Mustangs had the theft proof gas cap.
Memories, I had a forest green 1966 mustang GT fastback with the rare combo of 4 speed and factory AC.. I bought this car in 1985 fully restored for $4800 I sold it 3 months later for $7800 I thought I made a killing LOL. I think the values gone up.
...................Remember to help Steve on the Go Fund Me !!!!!!!!
Great car
Looks very nice; I like because most is very original on this car and professional explained.
I'm not a big fan of Mustangs, but I wouldn't mind having a stripped-down base model. 6 cylinder, 3 speed manual, no options. Just something to drive around town.
The wheels are better on the 66 with the capping. The standard seats are way better then the pony
$5k added after that Streetside Classics debacle, I see....
What is the Streetside Classic debacle?
❤🤓
No pony interior though.
🧲🧭✔️
Thank you Steve
