Up for your consideration is my 66 Mustang GT Coupe. It is an authentic GT car, not a plain Mustang dressed with GT
badges. It is a numbers matching drivetrain throughout, engine, transmission, rear end even the special GT steering
gear. Correct C6ZF Autolite 4100 and button top fuel pump.
This car was restored 30 plus years ago by Ed Gaczek of Morris Plains NJ, (now retired). His repeat customer was
renowned Mustang collector the late Dave Zimmerman. This car collected too numerous to list awards over it's show
career from 1988 through 2001. These were all AACA National events not local shows the car was retired with
multiple Senior Grand National Retired Preservation Awards. Quite an impressive and distinguished career.
What makes a car like this extra special is that it was done at a time were replacement parts were still largely
available through your local Ford dealer. So this car was blessed largely with restored original or NOS Ford parts
keeping the pedigree and quality to the highest standard.
This car drives beautifully, starts right up, engine is smooth and strong, transmission shifts effortlessly through
the gears and the equa-lock rear axle is smooth and quite. Everything functions as it should, even the clock in the
Rally Pac! The interior is whistle clean showing no wear just gentle use.
The under carriage is beautiful especially considering the era in which it was done. Detailed suspension parts,
correct hardware etc. Exhaust is solid with a nice rumble through the trumpets. Car comes with extensive
documentation, past owners, titles, awards lists, breakdown and decoding of all the pertinent numbers on the car.
Car was also a cover car for Mustang Times magazine.
As you might expect being restored 30 years ago there are minor age issues with the finish in a few places. These
could be addressed by the new caretaker but it is not necessary by any means. The car has the correct patina for a
distinguished vintage vehicle. The vehicle is completely free of rust. The car is safe to be driven anywhere with
confidence.
