That car is definitely a V8 conversion. Originally a straight six car. It has a 6 3/4 inch rear end, guaranteed to explode if within 3 miles of a drag strip. Definitely change out the rear end for an 8 inch at a minimum. Or upgrade to an 8.8 inch or a 9 inch rear end. Also do drum to disk brake conversion front and rear.

4 lug wheels mean this was originally a 6 cylinder. The good news is that means it wasn't hotrodded for 50 years. But you would be well off to swap the rear end and put upgraded suspension on the front. Love the White/blue stripes homage to shelby look, though.

Let’s really think about this car and what’s good. The easy thing a classic mustang person would notice are the 4 lug wheels.. this was a 6 cylinder car and has a 6 cylinder vin number (value killer). To do the car right all of the suspension needs to be replaced. Next let’s look at the damage- interior needs everything replaced. Front end damage- needs almost all of the sheet metal replaced. Motor- the block and a few things might be salvaged. Entire car will need to be repainted. This is a flashy shell that needs a ton of money put into it.

Having lived with a 65 Mustang since 1992 I've learned a little. Where the grill panel has been cut and patched it may be because the cowl panel underneath it has rotted and they did this as a quick way to get access to the cowl and patch it. You can get new panels now. When I did mine back in the 90's here in the UK and I had to remake my own repair panels. As for those universal Holley carbs mine sprung a leak on that transfer pipe. Fortunately I smelled the petrol before it caught fire!! I wouldn't touch Holley carbs now there are so many gaskets and seals that can leak fuel.

I had a couple of those Mustangs years ago and down inside the cowl where that piece of metal was cut on the passenger side, there are drains on each side of the car to let water out, but there were low spots where water would lay and rust through and water would leak down by a persons feet on both sides of the dash. If you open that metal patch up or peek through the vent slots, you will most likely see repairs in the bottom on both sides of the car. The last 1966 Mustang I owned actually had a plastic funnel screwed to the driver side kick panel below the dash with a tube running out a hole in the drivers side floor when I bought it. lol.

I seriously doubt anyone is going to pay twenty grand for a Mustang two door hardtop even in pristine condition, let alone one with a burned interior and engine compartment, no brakes and non running. This was the least expensive and most common body style. Even after fifty seven years, the two door hardtops are still plentiful and pretty common. Even in this inflated car market, that insurance seller must have been on drugs thinking they'd get $20k for this burned vehicle.

I had been working on it for several years when I had to sell it due to lack of space. I can't believe they hacked up the cowl like that. It could have been drilled out and peeled off. They do have a bad habit of leaking into the heater plenum and under the dash. Check for cracks in the corners of the back side windows. They are notorious for stress cracks. I love this car though.

Thats a t code six cylinder car. 1965 and 1966 with 4 lug wheels is 6 cylinder. You will need to swap out to 1965-66 v8 spindles that are thicker on the actual spindle where the bearings are, also stiffer springs and also the rearend is one of a 6 cylinder. You can upgrade to a explorer 8.8 out of a 98 explorer and shorten the long axle to match the short axle. Then you have disc brakes and LSD and a good set of gears. You will need stiffer leaf springs also. I have a 1965 and 1966 mustang. My 65 is a 6 cylinder. I did the 8.8 swap on my 64 falcon. If you have more questions let me know, I'd enjoy helping man.
