RAVEN BLACK. ..black is the most difficult color to paint an automobile, it shows any flaw in the body underneath, like a mirror. This one is better than factory new in 1966. True automotive journeyman to take on this restore and it shows everywhere!

This vehicle is NOT a factory built GT, but was rebuilt with all genuine Mustang GT parts.
The GT Package list below is for ref. from; www.mustang-s.com/years/1966/1966_mustang.htm
1966 Mustang GTs were very different from the regular cars. They also had many factory modifications that are hard to duplicate after production. Because different plants produced Mustangs in different ways, not all rules are firm and fast. but there are some of these rules that must be met!
The very basic rule is that every GT must be either a K code car or an A code car built after mid February 1965, no exceptions. The GT must have a dual exhaust system with exhaust trumpeters that exit through a special rear valance with 2 exhaust openings. Because of these exhaust openings, the rear bumper guards were omitted. The bracket bolt holes were sealed with small rubber plugs. To accommodate the dual exhaust, special exhaust hangar reinforcements were used on the rear hangars behind the rear seats.
The GT's exterior had a small GT badge on each front fender and GT stripes that ran from the rear of the front wheel well to the front of the rear wheel opening. They did not receive the standard M U S T A N G or M U S T A N G 2 + 2 emblems so there should not be any holes drilled and patched from these. Rocker molding were deleted and not an option. 1966 Mustang GT's received a special GT gas cap.
The front of the car received a set of fog lights mounted on horizontal bars. The will be two holes punched in the front of the radiator support for the wires to run through. There will be a fog light circuit breaker and a fog light switch that is mounted inside the car. There are several locations where the switch was mounted so that is not a determining factor. One thing is that whenever the fog lights are turned on, the taillights also come on. After market switches do not have this option.
There will be no little C side scoop ornamentation on a GT.
Mechanically speaking, the GT was built with a 16:1 quick ration steering gearbox. They had a stiffer suspension and heavier (thicker) front sway bar. Gt's received heavy duty shock absorbers. Along with the beefed up suspension, GT's were equipped with a larger single master cylinder, a proportioning valve, disc brakes and a brake pedal that was labeled Disc Brake.
The interior received the standard 5 dial analog instrument cluster and standard glove box door in camera case black. Black Pony Interior !
