Ford Diamond White paint was used to paint the Le Mans stripes, which have followed the original Shelby dimensions from 1965/1966 Mustangs. GT Fog Lights have been installed on a new GT optioned grille; GT side stripes and a GT gas cap were also installed to complete the GT styling.



The interior has been fully restored; all seat frames were cleaned, and reupholstered with deluxe Pony interior (red/white pattern), with deluxe Pony seat foam. This was reinstalled along with new red carpet, red floor mats, red dash pad, and red deluxe Pony door panels, along with wood grain instrument bezel, wood grain glove box door, walnut steering wheel, plus many more parts (see list below). Ford Cardinal Red paint (Satin finish) was used to respray the interior parts, including the dash panel, inner doors, rear quarter panels, and parcel shelf, plus retaining trim and speaker grill. Door weather stripping was installed after paint, to seal from outside elements. A Sony CD player was mounted inside the glove box, connected to two speakers in the front dash, and two speakers on the rear parcel shelf. All wiring runs along the original wiring channels in the car.



The engine bay has been refreshed, and detailed with Satin Black Paint; new Mustang valve covers have been installed with new gaskets and valve cover bolt kit. The voltage regulator has been replaced and re-earthed. All earth connections have been cleaned to ensure good conductivity. The engine was flushed of engine oil, and received 10/30w oil and a new FRAM oil filter. A Pertronix Solid State Electronic Ignition has been upgraded in the distributor, to smoothen the idle, whilst also increasing economy and power. A matching Pertronix Flamethrower coil has also been used, which maintains a hot spark & optimum performance.



The 2v carburetor was removed from the intake manifold, dismantled and then cleaned using carburetor cleaner, and rebuilt with a new Ford 2v rebuild kit – including new gaskets, diaphragms, and air cleaner & filter. It was setup to run using factory specifications, and adjusted as necessary. The intake manifold was degreased and coated with satin black high temperature paint.



Both inner track rods, both outer track rods, and both track rod sleeves were replaced, along with both lower control arms (which include lower control joints and bushings), and both upper ball joints. Each drum brake was checked, cleaned and rebuilt, with new hardware as necessary.

In no particular order, the following is a list of authentic Mustang parts used on the restoration / refurbishment of this 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe in October 2006:
