45th Anniversary Mustang Fastback

Nice! Too bad they didn't buy her the fastback. 4 speed/fastback = $$$$

Yeah, he had a 289 in highschool but swapped it out for a 351 later. Dont recall what year. It was black with large multi colored flake. He died taking it to trade for a station wagon. Pregnant fiancee...

That is the exact car I owned! Color and all.

Avis upgraded me to one of the 300 hp V6 Camaros yesterday in Omaha.

From a visibility standpoint it was a death trap. I couldn't see crap out of the back of it, the blind spots are huge, and the hood is pretty high up there.

The engine was ok, made a lot of noise and didn't really go anywhere.

In 64.5 the base engine was the 200 ci 6 with a 3 speed Dagenham transmission. The 260 was an early option, then they switched to the 289, A Code, K code, etc.

A neat little trivia fact is that the real 65 GT's used the standard 66 instrument bezel.

I have the '66 nmy dad and I bought from the original owner in 1991 sitting in my garage on the lift above the turbo. Mine has a pretty heavily built 200 ci 6 though, running three Webers...

Bill, that sounds cool...blowing off some V-8's with an inline 6. HOT ROD runs articles on hot 6 bangers now and then. The latest featured was a Mopar slant 6.
