Yep that would have been my car.

Heres the engine bay on my Fathers 66 GT fastback K. 427W with webers. 600 Hp. Ill get more photos this week of it. 58k miles on the car. motor was gone in 1968. 3rd engine he put in the car was in 1970...351C 4v engine.. minor cutting of shock towers to put in. That engine stayed in the car until 12/06, when it was removed and this was put in its place. No cutting or modifying has been done since 1970.

theres a few pics there. Im all done with it. I just need to cut the hood open a little more, and im waiting for my 6" stacks for the webers to come in. took it for a ride and wow! the factory 3.89 gears have to come out, its wayyyyy to much for this beast

ahh you must ahve had the yellow one i was parked next to with my K. very very nice car. I had the fastback next to you with the 427w with the webers.

You know how we all set goals, Well ya I never got close to getting it running for april 15th haha. However, I do have the car running now, and it should be out of the garage for this weekend's LMMC Show held at Moroso in Guilford, CT

Had a few items custom made for the car, Like the 1-peice strut bar in the photo, and it only uses factory bolt holes, No drilling or modfying anything to make it fit. Cant wait to get it all done. Im very close now. Here is a pic of how it looks right now. Few parts to change, paint a few things, and it should be ready

Nice to see some fellow local K owners

My father actually sold his motor back in 67... to someone in East haddem who put it in a Austin-Healey (Typo?).. I guess he did a pretty slick job. Wonder happen to it. Would love to find it.

There are always mustang Gatherings in CT. If you guys havent heard of Late Model Mustang club of CT, check it out http://www.lmmc-ct.com

Quite a few classic owners on there as well.

The car will def be at the FORD Shows at dinos this year, as well as my father's Newly purchased 64 Fairlane, gonna be a fun year

Thanks guys. its nice to know there are regular people out there that understand. I had one guy one time hammering me cuz it was modded. who knew in 1967 they would be this sought after. My dad always says if he knew the value of a K he woulda left it stock... but its to late for that lets have fun.

heres a pic of the engine goin into it. Hopin to have it all done by April 15th, I plan on taking it to world ford challenge in Indianapolis in May.

Hi all Just wanted to give a quick introduction to me:

My name is Joe, I Reside in Wallingford, CT, and am 25 years of age The past few monthes, I have had the pleasure of doing something I've dreamed about all my life.... redoing certain areas of MY fathers 66 K-code GT Fastback.

I have tons of pics I will have to post up a few.

Long story short.. He has owned the car since Jan of 1967, it had 58k original miles on it, and hasnt seen rain or snow since 1968. It has all original glass,chrome,sheetmetal,underside,underside paint,interior (cept for doorpanels radio, and has 70 mach 1 seats in the front) and the exterior was painted once back in 1998 I will be putting the 4th engine in the car... but the 3rd engine has been in the car since 1970 (351C 4v)

I am currently in the process of building a 351W stroker (427) engine with Afr 225 heads and a full Weber carb setup on top.

The car also has Original Shelby scoops and windows, that my father Aquired from Shelby back in 1967. And has a Fiber glass decklid with a lipped up wing on the back, which he aquired when he was in daytona in 1968.

Please dont abuse me for modifying this car, as im not cutting anything that wasnt cut when he wedges a Clevland motor in it back in 1970. No one knew the value these cars would have today... and dont ask where the original motor went, because he sold that in april of 67. Anyway hes a pic of what it looked like last year( with my other two stangs...sorry couldnt find just a pic of it alone), this is with the 351C With the dual tunnel ram.. I look forward to sharing this experiance of a lifetime with you

Joe
