Yes it is A 66 6t09k

The car was gutted when I got it so I have no Idea what it came with other than what the door id plate tells me.The location of the seatbelt light in the pic looks to be where the hole in my dash is.

I have a hole in the dash between the ign. switch and lighter about 3 inches below them.It has rolled edges to the underneath side of the dash and looks to be factory punched not drilled.30 or so years ago I had a car with a seat belt light in it but I dont remember where it was.I cannot think of anything else that might have gone there.Any thougths on it?

My exterior is signalflare red so my hinges will be body color and the trap door parchment.My hinges are the only thing in the back I got with the car and are factory paint body color.That will be an interesting combination.

Is anyone restoring the factor simulated wood grain steering wheel?If so are there any comments on the quality. I know they sell new ones any comments on them?

Thanks for the help . <img src=images/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

When I bought this car everything inside it was gone.IT Is a 66 fastback came parchment with black appointments.Should the trunk access door be black or parchment? Thanks Rick

Has anyone tried the carpet from TrimParts.com?They have moldedcarpet listed for mustang fastbacks.You can order Tuxedo loop,80/20 loop,100% nylon loop and more.I know the primarly sell GM parts but I dont care who makes it as long as it is good.I was fortunate enough to have ordered factory ford carpet for my CV years ago.I also had ordered carpet for the coupe from VCM many years ago.Just got around to using it two years ago wish I had more put up.

i have read several posts on the lack of quality in the carpet available.The last I read Trim Parts . com. is making ok carpet.I talked to the folks at VMS and was told they could order (mass back) carpet from ACC. and it was good. What say you.Has anyone compaired both?I am looking to get black for a fastback.

That is exactly what I needed.I didnt expect the black seatbelts.Thanks for taking the time to post the pics.

Im just not sure what should be black.Should the kick panels be parchment with black carpet? Black dash pad and headliner and sun visors?Thanks for any help? Rick<img src=images/icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

I wonder if anyone would have a picture of a disc brake master cylinder and proportioning valve.I need to see what the brake lines should look like.If the attaching clips turn up or down and so on.Thanks

I have a 66 fastback color code 5 signal flare red.The car was striped when I got it but it still had the original paint under the windshield and back glass seals.Also the floor pans inside.The problem is the paint chip for code 5 is much reder than what is left on the car.The paint under the windshield seal is oranger.It looks more like the poppy red maby just like it.I am convinced the paint under the front and back glass is origional.There in lies the problem what color should it be.By the way the door tag is factory.Anyone run into this?This car has parchment with black appt. f6 what color stripe would it have came with (gt).Thanks for any help. Rick

I called my GM dealer and ask for the E.O.S. They said they had sold all that they had in stock and that GM didnt make it anymore.Does anyone have a part# for it.It looks like we are running out of options.

The factory tooling hood was drilled.Thanks for all of the input.

I bought one of the factory ford toolig hoods.It is at he body shop now and I can check with them Monday to make sure it isn't drilled but Im pretty sure it isn't.Hold off on the measuring until Monday.I wanted to make sure they all had the letters. Thanks a bunch.

It looks like all 66's came with the F O R D letters on the hood.Is this so? Any tricks to getting them in the right location and straight? Thanks

From the factory which bolts would have been painted the color of the body? The fender bolts,door hinge, headlight buckets,hood hinge and so on.I,m not saying these were but asking if they were.I have seen the fender bolts both ways.Mine is a 66.

Thats what I needed to know. Thanks

Thanks for the in put.Does anyone know about the deck lid?
