I SAW THIS CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD. DAVID & KAY PIPER HAD JUST MOVED NEXT DOOR TO MY CHILDHOOD HOME IN 1978. DAVID WORKED FOR FORD AND ORDERED THIS CAR DIRECTLY FROM FORD HQ IN 1965. IT IS A TRUE GT AND HE CHECKED A LOT OF BOXES WHEN HE ORDERED IT. NOTICE THE PICTURE OF THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER. HIS NAME IS AT THE BOTTOM. THEY LIVED IN MEMPHIS AT THE TIME AND IT WAS DELIVERED TO HIS OFFICE NOT A DEALER. NEARLY $1700.00 WORTH OF OPTIONS - WOW!!! OVER THE YEARS MY TWO BROTHERS AND I TRIED TO BUY THE CAR. IT NEVER MOVED, IT WAS IN THE GARAGE WITH A COVER DRAPED ON IT AND BOXES STACKED ALL OVER IT. THIS WORKED TO OUR ADVANTAGE SINCE NO ONE ELSE COULD SEE IT. HOWEVER, WHENEVER WE'D ASK IF THEY WANTED TO SELL IT, DAVID WOULD ALWAYS DEFER TO KAY. AND SO IT WENT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THEM OVER THE YEARS AND THEY WOULD NEVER COMMIT TO SELL. THEN DAVID PASSED AWAY. KAY CALLED AND ASKED IF WE WANTED THE CAR - WELL HECK YEAH WE DID! I MADE A DEAL WITH KAY AND MY MOM AND I WENT OVER TO GIVE KAY THE MONEY. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE EXCITEMENT WITHIN ME WHEN SHE PULLED OUT ALL OF THE "SWAG" THEY HAD KEPT ON THE CAR. THE ACTUAL POSTER BOARD THEY HAD CREATED BY HAND WHICH DISPLAYED IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT THE 2ND ANNUAL MEMPHIS SPEED & CUSTOM AUTO SHOW. THE YEAR WAS 1976. THEIR 1966 MUSTANG TOOK FIRST PLACE. THEY HAD SAVED THE TROPHY AND A PICTURE OF THE CAR ON DISPLAY AT THE SHOW. NOTICE IN THE PICTURE; EVEL KNIEVEL'S SKY CYCLE SUPER VAN IN THE BACKGROUND - HOW COOL, RIGHT! ALSO, THE LADY WAVING IN ONE OF THE PICS IS "KAY" THE ORIGINAL OWNER. AFTER GETTING THE STANG BACK ON THE ROAD I SHOWED IT OFF AT MY CHURCH'S ANNUAL FATHER'S DAY CAR SHOW. SHE WENT TO CHURCH THAT DAY WITH MY MOM AND I THOUGHT ONLY FITTING TO SNAP A PIC OF HER SITTING IN HER OLD CAR! SHE WAS PROUD.SO LET'S BACK UP. DAVID ORDERED A 1967 GT IN 1966 AND GAVE KAY THE 1966 GT. SHE DROVE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER THERE IN MEMPHIS UNTIL 1975-76. IN LATE '75 THEY TOOK THE MUSTANG TO DOBB'S FORD THERE IN MEMPHIS AND HAD THE CAR COMPLETELY TORN DOWN AND REPAINTED (COST=$342.80). THE CAR HAD AROUND 80K MILES AT THIS POINT. THEY DID THIS SO THEY COULD ENTER THE CAR IN THE AUTO SHOW. I HAVE THEIR ACCEPTANCE LETTER FROM THE AUTO SHOW DETAILING ALL OF THE LOGISTICS OF THE SHOW. I HAVE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK OF REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR FROM DAY ONE. THEY KEPT EVERYTHING. I EVEN HAVE THE ORIGINAL OWNER CARD FROM FORD. KAY DROVE THE CAR UNTIL THEY MOVED TO OKLAHOMA CITY AT WHICH POINT THE CAR WAS PACKED AWAY IN THEIR GARAGE NOT 200 YDS FORM MY BEDROOM WINDOW. I DREAMED ABOUT THIS CAR FOR MANY YEARS.I HAVE TRIED TO KEEP THE CAR AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE. THE CAR HAS HAD ONE RE-SPRAY BACK IN '75 BUT STILL WEARS IT'S ORIGINAL PONY INTERIOR. THE DOOR HANDLES ARE WORN AND THE SEAMS HAVE COME APART IN A FEW PLACES UPFRONT - THE BACK IS ALMOST PERFECT. CARPET IS ORIGINAL AS WELL AND IN GOOD SHAPE. NEW FORD ORIGINAL STYLE FLOOR MATS. I HAVE SPARED NO EXPENSE IN GETTING THE CAR BACK TO IT'S ORIGINAL APPEARANCE. WE DID "PAINT CORRECTION" AND THE PAINT LOOKS GREAT BUT DOES HAVE IT'S BLEMISHES- IT'S 45 YEARS OLD. THE CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE MECHANICALLY. I HAD THE MOTOR REBUILT, TRANNY REBUILT, THE FACTORY AC BLOWS COLD, ALL NEW BRAKES, NEW GAS TANK, NEW ALUMINUM RADIATOR, NEW HEATER CORE, COMPLETE FRONT END REBUILD, AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. I HAVE EVERY RECEIPT THAT I HAVE SPENT ON THE CAR. I HAVE NEVER ADDED IT UP...BUT IT'S A BUNCH. THE WHITEWALL TIRES HAD TO BE CUSTOM ORDERED AND WERE OVER $1100.00. BUT MAN THEY LOOK GREAT, AND CORRECT! WAY TOO MUCH TO LIST BUT I HAVE ALL DOCS.VINYL TOP IS NEW AND CORRECT.IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RESTORED SHOW CAR THIS ISN'T THE CAR. THIS MUSTANG IS A TRUE SURVIVOR WITH GREAT HISTORY AND WELL DOCUMENTED. THE CAR NOW HAS JUST OVER 94K MILES AND RUNS LIKE A TOP. IT'S A BLAST TO DRIVE WITH THE 4 SPEED AND POSITRAC - FEELS LIKE A HOT ROD. THE DUAL EXHAUST RUMBLE HARMONIOUSLY AND IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR ONE MUFFLER. EVERYTHING WORKS INCLUDING THE CLOCK (THAT IS IF YOU TAP IT A LITTLE IT WORKS A LITTLE). I LOVE THIS CAR AND IT'S BEEN GREAT BRINGING IT BACK TO LIFE BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR A NEW OWNER. THE CAR IS LOCATED HERE IN OKC,OK AND IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. I AM THINNING OUT MY COLLECTION SOMEWHAT AND MAKING ROOM FOR OTHER PROJECTS. BE SURE TO LOOK FOR MY UPCOMING AUCTIONS.
