Title: Replacement Radiator for 66GT Fastback
Post by: robz64 on April 16, 2022, 02:26:06 PM
Hello To All,

Can someone point me in the direction of a reliable original looking radiator for a 66gt Fastback, 289 A code? One that has the outside correct stamping/markings, with maybe an update core, 3 row radiator passenger side hose. I live in NY, so it can get pretty steamy and hot on a summer night. 

Thanks, Robz64

Where was your car built?:   Since the radiators were made by different suppliers based on where the Mustang was assembled.

In either case there are no great IMHO reproductions you just have to compare the features that match and don't match with which ever reproduction is available at the time of purchased keeping in mind which radiator your car would have originally been built with. Not aware of any reproduction/replacements with the the correct markings on either the side straps or top tank - again depending on where you car was built

"Updates" or aftermarket style cores are another subject more suited for a forum/site not focused on originality ;) Number of them to choose from that do not have such a narrow focus as we do here
