Select® Restoration Projects - 1966 Ford Mustang Mustang Rotisserie Restoration Start Slideshow Full Screen

The fate of this 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe is amazing. As a new car it rolled off the assembly line in 1966 with 499,751 other Mustang Coupes.

Forty years later it was completely disassembled for restoration when Hurricane Katrina filled the warehouse it was stored in with brackish water.

The owner, hesitant to proceed with his project without a good approach to corrosion control contacted Select Motor Company.

Select Motors offered a chemical stripping process that included re-plating and sealing the body after stripping.

When the coupe was cleaned of corrosion suspension work began. An independent rear suspension or IRS from a 2004 Mustang Cobra was custom fitted to the rear of the car. An independent front suspension or IFS, with Mustang II technology from Heidts Hot Rod Shop was incorporated onto the front of the car. Improvements included large Wilwood disc brakes, Koni coil over shocks, rack & pinion steering in front of the axle, for cat like reflexes.

Strong back bracing was added to the car as the entire floor was removed and is being replaced in one piece.

Interestingly enough, the rockers would best be described as excellent. Quarter panels, inner cowl patch panels, the finish panel and the addition of torque boxes are in the plans of building this car with show quality tires and a rigid structure for handling.
