Land-shark Projects: 1966 Mustang

In the 1990's my father purchased a 1966 Ford Mustang. He had it at College and his wedding. After I was born halfway through the decade the Mustang saw the fate of many classic cars... The Garage.

I have ridden in the car all of probably a mile. Proving how much it has driven in recent years.

My father would occasionally have the motivation to work on the car. We upgraded the front drum brakes, to new disc brakes. All new brake lines. New gas tank. New fuel lines.

This past week, aside from the Penbo project, my brother and I sought out on the task of making the Mustang run again. After a lot of trouble shooting, pulling the battery out of the families Ford Excursion, we cranked over the old tired 200 I6. After realizing the lack of fuel, we tore down the fuel filter and sending unit.

After all the gunk was out of that, we got gas to the carb, and ran the engine. We have it running for the first time in almost 5 years.

We plan on dragging the beauty up to Maine, where we will Resto-mod this old Grandma's Mustang into a nice powerful cruiser.

Soon to be outfitted with a 1966 Ford Galaxie 289 and T-5 5 Speed.
