1966 Ford Mustang

Today's detail is of a pure classic. A 1966 Ford Mustang with an original 15,000 miles on the odometer. The car was purchased at Barrett Jackson and has an original 289 cubic inch engine. The paint has some issues and is at about a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Needless to say I love working on the classics. I didn't want to go to hard on this 42 year old paint so I decided to do my best to clean it up.

The owner is a true car freak. Tomorrow he takes delivery of a 1976 2002 BMW. A new Nissan GTR is on order and should be here in August. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

When I was done I had to take the owner to pick up his 1974 Nissan 240Z that was being worked on at the the shop.

Nice job. Thanks for showing us that one. If I remember those were less than 4k new.

Great work and what a piece of Americana. Not many cars can make Cream paint look so good, this one makes it look sexy. You did an awesome job for a light clean up.

Very nice Pat, detailing that must have been a pleasure more than work.

Great job, sweet car (looks like a '66' to me. Unfortunately I'm old eneough to remember how much buzz they brought to the Ford dealers in 65 when I was a senior in H.S.).

Cheers

Doh !! Just reread your post where you clearly state it is a '66' !! Got me with the title. BTW, how is the durability with the Sonus Total Eclipse ? Again, an awsome job on a great classic !

Cheers
