1966 Mustang Fastback

66 Mustang

This is my 1966 Mustang Fastback.  I have had it since I was 16 (now 25).  I feel very blessed to have this car at such a young age and plan to keep it forever.

Back in early 2001 I started an EFI swap on the car so I could use it as a daily driver and enjoy good MPG along with driveability & reliability.  I would be going on to a university in mid/late 2001 and wanted to be able to drive back and forth to home.  After graduation, I could then upgrade to a much higher performance level should I wanted.  Well, needless to say that project has never been finished.  At this point (Dec. 2005) I plan to just pull it all apart and do a frame off restoration.  I am also still deciding on what the final drivetrain will be as I really miss that old Hi-Po motor.  However, the EFI motor will be nice as well and can be pushed to some nice performance numbers through some boost.  We'll see... I have plenty of time to decide.  I hope to start the rebuilding process within the next two years.
