Anyone here own this 66 fastback? CA- NJL 765

[65ShelbyClone]

I loved that car dearly, but it was my dd and with no a/c where i live it was killing me!!

WEAKNESS!

Both my '68 and my '84 have factory A/C that doesn't work, so maybe my case is laziness. Same goes for the heat. . It only gets to 115 in either car with the windows down, so who's complaining? I still see my old '89 around locally and I really miss that car. I haven't seen your fastback around and believe me, I would have noticed if I did. Then again, Stockton is a couple hundred miles north of here.

haha!
Hmm, i've heard that corvettes require a lot more maintenance than mustangs, is that true? how are parts? Cause a family friend wants to get rid of a 73 corvette and u kno, haha i'm open to donations any day

Actually, I have a 97 (C5) and the parts are rediculously priced. i try to work on it myself but it's no 1st gen mustang. I had a 65 coupe and the 66 fastback and learned how to do alot of things on those two cars. i even swapped the engine and trans. in the 66 twice, by myself! There is no way in hell I could do that with this corvette and all this damn electrical stuff.

The mustangs have taught me well, and I will own another one day!!

The other thing is, I used to get smoked by sports car all the time, but now I get to do some of the smoking. The fastback was a cruiser (that sounded fast) for sure.

you might have gotten rid of the car, but the mustang bug still has you in its grasp....hence the reason you still lurk around the forum haha

Well posting this has actaully been the first time I've been back here since I sold the car, but I might start hanging around now. I forgot how cool this site was. Everything is so much simpler with these cars and it was def. more fun working on the stang than the vette. and some of the vette owners on the corvette forums are a little uptight.

man im starting to think i need to convert back!!!

man i did it for a combined amount of about 3.5 years between a 65 coupe and the 66 fastback. I just got sick of it

When sold the car went to Merced,CA then made its way to San Luis Obispo,CA., and thats the last I heard.

Thats a nice fastback, but I don't know who owns it.

Daily driver + no A/C + Stockton = brutal.

It's 90+ for five months there.

I find the "can't live without AC" talk amusing. Up until about 1990, AC was not that common on cars (or homes) sold in California, or anywhere else but the south. I didn't have a car with AC until 89. I'd be willing to bet that only a small percentage of first generation Mustangs were originally equipped with AC. We practiced 4 window AC. I remember seeing SWAMP cooler/evaporative chiller devises closed into side windows of cars that provided rudimentary AC.

Hope you locate your Pony.
