Here is our 1966 T5. She is a "C" code 3 speed car with disc brakes. Most all of its original T5 parts are gone, but it still has its original export brace. We have had it for a couple months and are working towards getting it on the road for the summer. We plan to do a slow rebuild of it as we can over the winters. First up this winter will be floors and the engine bay. It looks much better in pictures (and at 20') than it really is.


 
I have a 67 T5 but it doesn't have the extra plate like yours does ,interesting ! Mine only has the code on the door tag .
 
I am not sure about the one i have ,i didn't even know it was a T5 until i ran the door tag .The whole floor is gone from the firewall back , and i took the roof skin off for another car before i knew it was a T5 .I have another roof to replace the old one but it is in very rough condition .I may rebuild it someday .
 
One thing i found odd is the export brace ,it has both sets of holes at the firewall mounting,the early 65 and the later 66 up , and they are all punched out and not drilled .although some one drilled a couple of holes in the brace ,but i can fill those in .
 
Had a blow out that took out my quarter figured it would be a great time to start the restorarion. Pulled it completely apart and sent it to get blasted and ecoated. And it is at the body shop now. Ended up needing both fenders both doors the hood and decklid. Quarters were previously panneled. Looks like ill have a new car soon!! Haha!

Although the "your" part of this thread's idea is a bit of a stretch in my particular case, I nevertheless feel like contributing.

Long story short, my father-in-law has a '66 coupe that's been parked in a somewhat dilapidated garage for the better part of three decades (longer than my wife has even been alive). We were visiting last week and I asked him what he'd take for it; he responded that I can have it if I dig it out. It's practically buried under years of untold junk and forgotten tools.

I'm fully expecting this car to need just about everything in terms of sheetmetal, but I'm not going to refuse a free Mustang. This is my first classic. Diving right in!

Car is a 6-cylinder originally equipped with a C4 tranny that was swapped to a 3-speed at some point. Although it's pretty much a base model, it does have A/C. It was repainted (badly) at some point with some sort of light metallic blue. Original color is Sauterne Gold Metallic according to the data plate as well as some of the original paint showing through chips in the blue. Although I can't find any production numbers for the colors, everywhere I've looked online seems to say that it's a rare color. I plan to repaint it in that color when the time comes.

Without further ado...

Poor thing.




















The plan is to commence digging it out once we get back stateside next spring. I'm sure it'll keep until then.
