Not the "Finned Grille"; but the tail light panel on the right looks like the panel on the '68 coupe next door to me. It very much looks like it belongs there.

If I recall correctly, the 65-66 covers were very popular in the 60's, and used on the sonny & Cher Mustangs. Use them, much more unique

Yeah it was an aftermarket part, never seen them in person, the other panel was the factory optional alum panel.

I think the panel on my neighbor's car is a re-pop; there is a lot of "gap-osis" around the fuel filler.

They sorta remind me of a '69 Coog "non-Eliminator" tail light.

Yo bnickel, where are you?

the coug's had vertical ribs on the taillights. thought the 69 cougars had horizontal ribs on the grill, all other cougars had vertical ribs on the grill, that's the only thing i don't like about my 69 cougar is the horizontal ribs on the grill, they should match the taillights and use vertical ribs.


if you get those taillights for the 66 you should also get a billet grill with horizontal ribs too, to complete the look.

personally, i've always liked the look of the 65 t-bird taillights on the 65-66 stangs. if you got the chrome gas cap splash shield panel for the 65-66 and used the t-bird taillights i think that would be a sweet look.


here is splash shield panel i was talking about

I like that look for the 67-68. I believe it was a factory or dealer option.

I'm not sure about that add on for the 65-66. That is definitely aftermarket. It is kinda cool and different. If you like it then I say go for it. I wonder if the whole thing lights up with the tail lights or not.
