FS: 1966 High Country Special (Desperate Seller!!!!)

Thanks

Well I checked it out just to see what a High Country Special is. Way to much of a project for me. I already have 2 projects at about that level, a `72 Corvette BB ragtop & `59 Harley Duo-Glide, to add a third.

Good luck disposing of it.

Indeed. I thought about it for a minute and then just resigned myself to the fact that "I'm gettin' too old for this s*it." 8-) As soon as all the hoopla and price gouging subsides, I'll just latch onto a new GT, throw a supercharger on it, and call it a day. It costs more, but everything works, there's no rust, and you've even got a warranty for a few years. 8-)

My first car was a '67 Mustang and they're pretty easy to work on (except for dealing with the pervasive rust issues that is common these days), but the parts are becoming rather expensive. This could be an interesting project for someone with a lot of time on their hands.

Cheers,

Oh no doubt one helluva a project, and probably worth quite a pretty penny given its rarity. If done right also probably a pretty big hit on the show circuit as well, but damn its got a long way to go and will never ever be matching numbers.

Here as of late I am not even getting around to the projects I've got planned for my newer models, let alone any of my restoration projects. I've almost resigned myself to the fact that my two current projects are going to sit until my retirement. My wife has been on me to have a second detached garage built, or move the projects off to storage so we can start to use our attached-garage again. Ahh life's little interruptions.

There's no such thing as a matching numbers '66 Mustang anyway. You can get a date code correct on the engine/tranny, but that's the closest you could get to it. There are still a few early 289's out there that are worth building, even if they have to be sleeved.

The VIN was only on the bucktag, window stamp and both inner fenderskirts.
