To be completely transparent, today’s nice price or no dice Mustang has nothing to do with Carroll Shelby other than to honor his legacy and the car is featured in the ad. as more than that. Let’s see if that’s enough.
Last Friday — in fact, last year — we had long teeth 1985.5 Porsche 944According to the seller, the car was an unfinished project and needed a new owner to get it across the finish line.Required work (obvious and private) did notcan not see The bar is too high for most people. When car on the way home Narrow 52 Percent nice price wins. It’s a way to see 2022 outside your door.
It’s 2023 now. Still sizzling from the grill.it’s a brand This means that you have another year of used cars available for you to consider and judge. That’s nice. Also very cool is all the good stuff available now. Who could have predicted that in 2023 we would have cars that self-crash or phones that auto-dial emergency services after a crash or while riding a roller coaster? We live in a really weird timeline.
Considering how unattractive much of what could happen in 2023 actually looks offerinstead, let’s look at cars from a simpler time. this 1966 Ford Mustang GT 350 Tribute Coupe.
Well, I think the OG Mustang is a car model that many people love. You might actually consider using As a daily driver, despite its age.Wide range of parts and updates for him It’s available and the basic car is pretty comfortable and works well out of the box.
My second car at the time was a similar, albeit more attractive, ’66 coupe with a 289 CID V8 and automatic transmission. I was driving the thing from gas station to gas station because I could only rake in a few gallons of change at a time and the Mustang’s gas mileage was pretty bad. My driving habits probably didn’t help either.
It’s in much better shape with a modest refresh in paint that mirrors Shelby’s legendary GT 350 Fastback.To tell the truth, Orchelle probably should have He based his massaged Mustang on the Coupe because the latter’s large piece of glass isn’t out in the back, making it nearly 100 pounds lighter than the Fastback.
Other updates to this tribute include a 15-inch replica Rallye-style alloy, an Edelbrock 4BBL carb and electric fuel pump, and a brand new white letter. Cooper Cobra Radial.
Aesthetically, the car looks like parts.Paint pops and stripes look great If a little inappropriate for a notchback body.Scoops on the hood and fenders add a touch of boy racer panache that too.
Everything inside seems to be original and gives a sense of the age. It’s a low-spec car with no center console, but it has everything you need. The only major issue here is the radio that seems to be missing, replaced by something hanging out of the opening by a cable. The radio space is his three holes in the sheet metal dashboard and hopefully they haven’t been exploited. It looks like my fingers were crossed because the holes in the knobs may have been covered with electrical tape. Modern stereos fit into factory openings without cutting.
As mentioned earlier, it appears that this was originally a low-spec model. It’s possible he didn’t even come with a V8 from the factory. Given the lack of front fender badges denoting a V8, it is possible.In 1966 the Mustang was powered by one of two V8 engines, a 2BBL 289 CID unit suitable for 200 (gross) horsepower, or a 2BBL 289 CID unit for 225 horsepower. It may have been ordered with the same 4BBL high power (HO) version.
This one has a later 4BBL cab and dual exhausts, so consider that power somewhere in those numbers. A 3-speed C4 automatic backs it up. It also appears to have one of his common aluminum radiators and a fan for cooling. Somewhat surprisingly, a photo of the engine bay shows the battery disconnected and a loose connection.
The seller says the Mustang is a California car, so no rust. It comes with a pretty title and what the ad claims is 10,000 miles on the watch. or The odometer shows 54,595, so it’s clearly referring to some kind of milestone. The asking price is $22,500.
Do you think this classic Mustang is worth it? Or is this Shelby pretending it’s not worth anywhere near that for real money?
you decide!
