Hey Guys, the names Joe, I'm 17 and the proud new owner of a '66 Coupe- My First Car!- Having said that, I was wondering if I could snag some advice from current Mustang owners.

The car needs paint, its a faded yellow right now ( which I dont care for ) and I was looking for paint ideas. I'm really leaning towards the paint job of the Shelby GT in "Gone in 60 Seconds" - A Sparkling Silver with Flat black racing stripes

- Would this look good on a Coupe rather than a fastback? To compliment that, I would ho w/ Black Leather Interior.

Thats my vison for now but I'd love to see Pics. and Ideas for paint


As for the engine, its a 3-Speed 289 with 10,000 miles on it. Runs great. My Question: What can I do ( w/ limited money lol ) to make the car sound louder in general?

Thanks guys, - Joe

Thanks Guys Love the color Stang66. How much does a paint job like that usually go for?

Hmm....so, is the Gone in 60 Seconds paint overpopulated then? I really like the paint job but I dont want it too look like everyone elses Stang.

Any kind in particular?

All my car had when I bought it was a running engine and the paint job. I only bought the car for $3800. As for exhaust, tri-y headers with 2.5" Flowmaster American Thunder system with deltaflow 40 series --> oh yea!

yeah silver and black is very nice but its dual and very common! get something that stands out! i think blue is the best on a mustang. if money is a great factor cut off the pipe right after the muffler and if you have money get a flowmaster dual kit. most people dont like flowmaster for some reason. i love it its not a very loud idel but when you give it gas...its loud! hedders are also good for sound but cost some $... good luck. Im 17 also and you will have some fun! the best part is doing the work yourself you get alot of satisfaction knowing you did it!
