So what do I do now?

Ok, where to start...  I guess the first thing to establish is the objective. This is affected by the fact that the car's pedigree can't be established as the door plates were lost in the mists of time. So we don't know much about the car other than it is a 1966 Coupe with a 2bbl 289 built in San Jose.

Unfortunately, the San Jose plant did not use buck tags... so it's all but impossible to know what the car should have looked like.  There is a very small chance that there is a build sheet hidden in the car, but most likely not as the San Jose plant procedures dictated throwing them out.  You never know your luck though.

The backup plan is to treat her as a clean slate and do her up really nice.  The seller had a number of parts and accessories to fit her out with a brilliant blue pony interior.  After a bit of research, this is what we're hoping to achieve.



So... who needs original when you can have a Mustang that looks like that?  ;o)

Mind you, we have a little way to go... here's where we're starting from.



How's that for a challenge?
