    If you traded the Mav even you came out good on that deal..... The early Stangs just bring more money the the Mav's do.....

    Yes, the 66 is set up for a v8 3 speed. Might put the 302 in it, once I go pick it up. The 3 speed is still in it. The 66 already has disc brakes installed.

    I love mustangs also. Been wanting to get another for awhile. Never thought I would end up with two of them. I am going to build the 66. It will be awhile though. Going to do a few things to the 68 just to spruce it up a bit. Then going to finish my maverick.

    I am personally more fond of the camaros and early novas. Early Vettes. Nash cars. Etc.

    I never thought I would own a ford (now two of them).

    But I have to admit, the new one needs no work and is a blast to drive, the old one only needs work when I push it too hard and break something, and it is a blast to drive.

    i like the early camaros too. Ive had a few of those over the years. I called on a couple of them before getting these, but were already gone.

    I think the Mavs are WAY more interesting to work on. Few parts are available, and way more junk yard diving to find semi-usable fenders and hoods.,

    Junk yard diving is enjoyable I have been doing that for many years. It will be nice knowing that if I cant find a part, I can just go buy it...... After all isnt that what were all hoping we could do with our mavericks?
