"Aunt Myrna, if you ever want to sell your Mustang, let us know." This is what Allan and Nancy Eisentraut told their aunt Myrna of Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin. Myrna bought the car new in 1966, drove it for years, then stored it in her garage for 16 years, untouched. Finally, one day in 1986, Allan and Nancy, got a call from Myrna. She wanted to sell them the car. Allan went there with his mechanic son. They pulled the Mustang out of the garage with the tires sliding on the ground. They were froze up with rust. After pounding the rust off the wheels to get them to turn; then taking the spark plugs out, pouring oil into the spark plug holes; and pouring gas into the carburetor, the Mustang started up - surprisingly, even with the old battery. It was quite rusty and a body man told them not to wait too long to have it taken car of. Within a year, the car had been repainted. Everything is still original on the car, right down to the plaid carpet in the trunk. This was our featured Attitude Of The Week picture for 8-26-07.

In this sunset view you can see the GT dual Chrome exhaust trumpets thru rear valance. If the exhaust is hanging below this valance, then it might not be a real 66 GT.

It talks about the new option of an automatic with the High Performance 271ci V8 engine.

Candy Apple Red 1966 Mustang hardtop owned by Rob Betea from Michigan. Rob tells us about his Mustang, "Dual exhaust, TMI sport console, electronic ignition, American racing tork thrus II rims 14x6 (soon to be magnum 500 14x6 front, 14x7 rear), retro sound radio Zuma, Rally PAC, and fiberglass hood with 67 twin scoops. Had her for one year so far. She is a driver. Had one just like it in 1968, till someone brought their car through my passenger side. I sat on the curb and cried. I have had several more 65 and 66s through the years but nothing like this. I bought it turn key, but had to add on to make it mine. I am 64 years old and feel like a kid when we out in it. Lots of fun, and looks! This car makes us happy."
