Pictured is a genuine, very original 1966 Mustang GT Convertible. I have owned this Mustang since July 1990 and has always been properly serviced and garaged. Mileage on the Mustang when I bought it had 13,964 miles on the odometer and now reads 18,140 miles. I have driven this car less than an average 200 miles per year. The car was purchased in Georgia and has resided in NW Florida since.
The Mustang had an excellent repaint in its original factory Tahoe Turquoise color (code “U”) about 4 years ago in a base/clear coat finish. The interior is a Light Aqua vinyl and Medium Aqua Rosette. Carpets are light green and convertible top is white. In all, an excellent and striking color combination.
NOTE: I listed this car last year about the same time and it sold twice. Both times the buyers did not pay. Please, if you do not have the funds available, if your spouse does not agree or whatever the reason for not being able to pay, please do not bid on this vehicle.

Special Notes
1.Had a failure of A/C compressor in 2014. Replaced with factory identical and converted to Freon 134. Runs very cold.
2.Mileage – when purchased in GA in 1990 the mileage was 13,964. GA required that all vehicles of vintage titles showed “beyond mechanical limits”. Have driven less than 5000 miles in 25 years of ownership.
3.Four (4) new Bridgestone tires placed on vehicle 3 years ago.
4.Have normal “drips” from the tranny when car sits too long and seals start to shrink.
5.No rust ever!
6.Small amount of water leaks in from right side of cowl when washing car when I do not use cowl cap.
7.Distributor converted to Pertronixs electronics. No points and car runs better.
8.Rally-Pac clock runs, but does not keep proper time
