This is an investment-quality Mustang that belongs in someone's collection. It's a blast to drive, especially with the very responsive Borgeson power steering system. The Sanden compressor is a nice upgrade for the A/C, which blows nice and cold. It has a 7-blade flex fan that does way better than the stock, especially when idling at stop lights in Arizona heat and combined with the aluminum radiator. This is essentially a new '66 Mustang with all the desirable options and number-matching. Prepare to spend about a half-hour at the filling station as the crowd gathers with all the compliments and questions. Included is an album with lots of information documenting the restoration and verifying the correct factory codes. As far as I know it's never been driven in the rain (wipers do work, though). I will consider a trade with a late-model (crossover) SUV with low miles.
