Is that a 389 4 speed car?

No, 400 4-bbl. TH-400 automatic with his and her shifter. Also came with factory A/C. 66 was the last year for the 389.

Some serious money today. Back in the '70's it was called the GOAT!

Yep. Greatest of all time! And, I have some serious money invested in the restoration!

I spent a lot of years finding and restoring old classics. Mostly Mustangs. A couple of my favorites were a 1970 Mach I, a 1964 1/2 convertible, and my favorite Steet pony was a 2012 GT500 with a super snake upgrade.

Both the 2015 GT (Crazy Horse) & 1964 1/2 (Cherry Pie) were mine.

Very nice cars! I had a 64 1/2 Mustang but sold it before I even started the restoration.

Other than the motor there is very little difference between the 66 an 67. Main differences were the tail lights and grille.

'67 body was my favorite year Goat.
I had a '69 that I stuck a 428HO motor in paired with a 400TH trans. Set it up to hit third gear @ 75mph and it would bark the tires.
As much as I liked my Pontiac motors to work on, I was always a Chevy BB fan. My most fun ride was a '70 Chevelle SS that I built a 427 solid lifter motor w/ 750 dual feed and big tube Hookers for. It had a 273 12-bolt rearend and topped out around 160. With Mickey Thompson N50/15s on the back, from a dead dig you'd be sideways for as long as you had the hair to stay in it.
Those were the days!

I had a Baby Blue '65 Sport Fury 2 door hard top I was restoring. It had a 426 hemi balanced & blueprinted, 3/4th race cam, 12.5 compression ratio, with a high rise and dual line dual pump Holley carb, exhaust headers, dual point ignition, 411 posi trac rear end, 4 on the floor, disc front, the AC vents would ice and the clock worked too. And it was not worth spending $200 to replace the $5 rear main seal. Could not have been more solid mechanically and I was restoring the body which had rust in places, the right way: no bondo. And I had both skirts and it had the towing package. Originally a 383 Commando car but someone had done a lot of work.
(a close friend had a '57 T-bird)

My first car was the Sport Fury, copper color with the 383. Loved that car.
