1966 Mustang Hardtop?

1_Bad_X · October 28th, 2006, 08:30 PM

Have you ever seen a 1966 Mustang with Portholes in the hardtop like an old thunderbird? I found and purchase this car a few days ago. I found it hiding behind some guys barn. The car is in real good shape. It had been covered up for about 10 years. I am hoping this is a rare car with the portholes being in it. Someone let me know.

Thanks

I have, but I never asked about it. I don't know anything about it. At the time I saw it. I was think it was just a custom job by some body shop. Now that you got one and I have see one, we are talking about 2 of them. Where are you? I am in GA. Thats where I saw one at. Its was about 20 years ago. Could you send a pic of it?

I SAW ONE ONCE AND ONLY ONCE I THINK THAT IT WAS A SPECIAL ORDER BACK IN THE DAY AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS THAT POPULAR I SAW IT AT THE BJ AUCTION

Here is the photo of the car. It is a 1966, 200 6 Cyl, bench seat, 3 speed.

wow. ive never seen a mustang with those round windows in the back...thats rare...hold onto that car man! nice job on getting that one

Could someone of cut those in? It don't look the same as the one I seen. I think the one that I see was a custom job.

Your bench seat I have heard of but never seen. Most people have never seen one

Is that rust in the door that I see? Most 66 Mustangs have rust there. My Mustang has rust there too.

There is a little bit of rust in the door. But the rest of the car is in real good shape. I inspected the windows really good to see if they were an add on and they are factory. I hope there is someone out there that can tell me more about this car.

Just a guess, I would say a dealer did it. I don't think ford did it. If you dont like it, I bet you could take it out pretty easy. I think I would keep it.

i concur...id keep it too...that car would make on ehell of a resto mod

i was told that the portholes were a trend back in the day and a bunch of average joes did it to make their cars look good, i'd compare it to ducktail spoilers on modern mustangs..
