Your buck tag photo was very cool. My '66 GT fastback is also a Metuchen car, has the same scheduled build date and same DSO. My consecutive number is just over 7000 units higher. I'd be interested in seeing some of the similarities of our two cars. One thing you may find which can cause some confusion are late '65 parts on the car. Document, document, document!

Good luck with it, looks like a fun project.



p.s. I'm really curious as to whether the car has '65 style ceramic GT badges or the plastic '66 style?

Quick picture.  The drivers side fender is not original and does not have the badge.

SWEET way to attach an emblem (when the pins won't work)! Must have been put on before the advent of 2-sided tape in the marketplace ;)

Useful pic in the fact that it's the '66 style badge! Thanks!!
