The fastback has definitely gotten better looking with age. Nice job.

The dark blue was gorgeous - any idea what color that was? Looks darker than most Ford blues I've seen.

Nice car.

That is too cool!

My 67 has been in the family since 70... dad bought it as a present for surviving Vietnam.

Priceless

You have an incredible gift of knowing everything that has been done to a car. No suprises. Questions about what was done??? Ask Dad, that's easy!!! Wish I had that going for my car.

I love that Blue color, so dark, but not black. Very nice car.

Great to see the old pics. With the old pics, do you know what years are represented (curious to see what mods occurred with what year)?

my MOM bought the car new in March of 65,my dad had it painted with wheels in 66(dont know why).But if you notice the exhaust bezels,my dad got them off a boat and we lost one.The wheels are 14X6 sprint or ansens with redline tires.He later painted it black with gold.So when i got i had about 4 paint jobs to chemically strip.

the blue i did when i worked at the ford dealer back in 94.its 94 t-bird moonlight blue with white pearl stripes.

My 66 has been in the family since 1968.

Like yours it's had several paint jobs, but unlike yours, mine still looks like crap.

Very cool to see the old pics. These car's sure were boring looking when 1966 stock.

The color now is in his avatar. He changed it because somebody who frequents the same cars shows as him just had to have the EXACT same color. Mario, you can go back, I'll take the orange of you hands. At least mine would be a coupe
those pics are cool as hell.
