Awesome cars! Thanx for highlighting these two icons of American Muscle! Great to see you back Steve, keep ‘em coming! Looking greatb best wishes to you! 👌💐👏😎👍🏼
Looks to me like you're getting stronger and stronger with each video - keep up the great work - you know everyone who watches your fabulous video is pulling for you!!!
All GT's in 66 came with the fog lamps as standard equipment with the GT package. The Rallye Pak, which consisted of a clock and tach mounted on the steering collum, was optional. here is a copy of the text from a 66 brochure that outlined what came with the GT package: Here's where you can really let yourself go. Choose your Mustang4Hardtop, Convertible or 2+2 and make it a Mustang GT with the GT Equipment Group ! Distinctive GT Identity and Conveniences: GT badges on front fenders. GT stripe (like Ford's GT racing car) running front to rear along the lower body. A pair of 4-inch fog lamps (clear lenses) mounted in the grille. Distinctive GT Power: You can have either the hot 225-hp Challenger Special V-8 (10 to 1 comp, ratio, 4-barrel carb., hydraulic lifters) or a real scorcher, the 271-hp Cobra V-8 (10.5 to 1 comp, ratio, 4-barrel carb., solid lifters). Both engines in Mustang GT's come equipped with special low-restriction dual exhaust systems. And chrome flared tailpipe extensions tell the onlookers what's under the hood ! Distinctive GT Performance: Special Handling Package (tauter suspension, faster steering) plus fade-resisting front disc brakes give you a kind of precise control you never thought possible in an American car! Options to go with the GT Group? Of course ! Rally Pac, 4-speed stick, 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic, styled steel wheels . . . and nearly all the Mustang options described in preceding pages !
Beautiful looking Mustang! In 1974 my older brother had a 67 fastback gt black with the 4 speed manual. It had those same beautiful wheels! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and history of this beautiful cars! Wishing you well!🙏❤️🩹
If memory serves me correctly, my father's '66 Mustang Coupe with the 200cid six and a three-speed manual, also had the 140mph speedometer in the that same style gauge cluster.
Hi Steve looking good my friend.... my friends dad had a 66 GT in turquoise... he used to take his three sons and me to the santa cruz beach boardwalk in the 70s in that car... we'd ride the rollercoaster non stop as it never seemed too busy when we were there.. anyway my friends older brther still has the car and it looks as good as it did back then.. keep on keepin on👍thanks for sharing
Memories, I had a forest green 1966 mustang GT fastback with the rare combo of 4 speed and factory AC.. I bought this car in 1985 fully restored for $4800 I sold it 3 months later for $7800 I thought I made a killing LOL. I think the values gone up.
I'm not a big fan of Mustangs, but I wouldn't mind having a stripped-down base model. 6 cylinder, 3 speed manual, no options. Just something to drive around town.
Looking better and better every day Steve
Great to see and hear you Steve!!
"Midnight parts store", your one-of-a-kind Steve!!! Continue your healing my brother!!

So glad you are feeling better and are back working.

Very nice example, Steve. I like everything that's just out of my reach!
Cheers mate. 🇨🇦
Great restoration.
We love you Steve!
Great cars. Great guy.
Thanks! Steve My sister had a 65 slant 6 and I now have a 2007 base Mustang.
Both Great looking Mustang's!
Great work, Steve. Amazing to see your Gofundme is already over it's target 😄👍
The man is certainly loved.
Thanks for high octane
Both beautiful cars. And they both have the Ford factory oem wheels and real tires, something you don't see very often anymore.
Great seeing you out and about doing what you love and are so good at. I know it is slow going but I can see that you are improving with every video.
Glad steve is back, not that Nick wasn't doing a great job.😉
So LEGENDARY 💯
Go Steve! Thanks for the vid
The GTs came with the fog lights in '65-'66 as part of the GT package. The "Rally-Pak" was/is the column mounted tach & clock.
The steering wheel on the 66 is a pony interior wheel. It is not a standard interior steering wheel.
Steve is the best!
looking good Champ!
Great job as always Steve! We are ALL pulling for you!
The earlier '65s did not have the wire on gas cap but started later in the '65 model year.
Looks great Steve! I had a ‘66 Fastback K-code GT, bought it in 1972 for $800.
Keep them video's coming! You're getting better every day Steve
...................Remember to help Steve on the Go Fund Me !!!!!!!!
Thanks🇨🇦

1965 Mustangs had the theft proof gas cap.
I remember them well.
Nice
Great vid Steve, cool car!!!!!! 🤜🤛
Great video
Great car
Looks very nice; I like because most is very original on this car and professional explained.

The wheels are better on the 66 with the capping. The standard seats are way better then the pony
$5k added after that Streetside Classics debacle, I see....
What is the Streetside Classic debacle?
❤🤓
No pony interior though.
🧲🧭✔️
Thank you Steve
