Yes more classics, always good to see. I saw the pics in your album, do you have more engine and interior pics?

Questions:

How long have you owned it or how many owners has it had? Just curious since I understand a lot of the nuances of the Sprint 200 package and you cant tell from the VIN. Did you get a build sheet or a window sticker from the PO.

When you got it did it have the console and wire wheels or were they gone? Air cleaner is there and I assume no holes in the scallop for the fake trim brake vents are there?

I dont mean to pry I just love the history and details of special cars and what made them up.

Thanks...!!...Straight 6's in a Classic Stang not that common.....many have been pulled out....but Car is considered a limited Edition.....so it's staying.

I do plan to get a true dual exhaust for the straight six also after priming and before final painting..... :awesomework:

Car is a Sprint 200, I have the original air cleaner with the Sprint 200 Decal ( was with car), Console was part of package, wire wheels were part of package (but are gone) I opted for rims, deletion of quarter panel trim, pin stripe that matched interior, some chrome trim in engine bay. There was a name plate attached with the original owners name on it....but just the adhesive remains. Build date of early 1966. The Sprint 200 was the same as any other 6 cylinder mustang but had these additions/deletions and the Chrome Air Cleaner. Car is also known as the Springtime Sprint or Millionth Mustang Celebration Edition as adds portrayed it as.

I have the build sheet but its in pieces.

Car was built in Metuchen, believed to be sold by Downs Ford ( Found service tag dated 1967).....purchased in Brick New Jersey.....A Jersey Girl..:awesomework:
