The time has come for me and my '66 to part ways. It's been a fantastic car, which I've now owned for 12 years, and built myself over those years. It was my daily driver from '98 until '07 or so. Since then, I joined a car pool and the car has been driven extremely little (if I'm driving one, it's the '69 with the 408/TKO-600).
This car is has zero rust, and has been garaged for all the years I've owned it. It has all the original floor pans, engine bay panels, quarter panels, and the trunk. No patches at all, anywhere. I have well over $25K in parts alone in this car, and receipts for every single one. The paint is a 2 stage BC/CC paint job, called "metallic pewter". It is about 3 years old, but does have a couple small chips in it. This car is ready to go drive and enjoy right now. It really needs nothing. 99.9% of all wiring in this car has been replaced with new wiring. The only parts I can think of that have not been replaced is the wiper motor and it's wiring harness, the turn signal switch, and the wiring harness from the dash to the trunk.
This car has run a best time of 14.003 in the 1/4 mile with the old cam in it, and on the existing street tires. It has not been to the track with the current cam, which has about 2k miles on it, and is quite a bit more aggressive than the old cam. With some sticky tires it should be running in the low 13's (just needs more traction to get there). On the freeway, it can get 20+ mpg with the overdrive transmission (Ford AOD transmission), even with the 3.50:1 rear gears.
I'll be straight up with StangFix members. I will take $12k for this car, but that price is not negotiable. The following list shows the bulk of the parts that have gone into this car, so you can see the beating I'm actually taking. I will help arrange shipping. I will not trade, though, and won't go below the $12k (this is a special StangFix members deal only). It is going to be advertised, simultaneously, on Craig's List for $15k.
These are not old pictures. They were all taken today, 6/1/2010.
