...and thats why you should have a look at potential purchases.

BaT is fun to watch though

Thank you very much. Dan in Naples Fl

Barry Grant, that is the maker of the fuel system. It is/was a complete system fuel pump to carb. Great stuff, long gone though.. I hade 5-6 fuel pumps and just kept rebuilding them with rebuild kits, as I could no longer buy them new after he went bankrupt.

Quote "Hopefully, you like the car and drive it?    I also put in ½ fuel line with a smaller return line...         the car was very fast!"

As far as I know only fuel injection cars have a return line. Am I missing something?

It has an aftermarket Demon ( I think)  based system (forget the name, high priced fancy stuff, manufacturer is no longer in business) that is was called the "Hot Rod" system by the manufacturer, it has a 360 flow, fuel up the carb, and the unused gas is returned to the gas tank.

I bought a new gas tank, built a mid tank welded in valley with the fuel drawing from the middle of the valley, to help the prime begin. The car was not self priming when I bought it. I fixed that.

Its the most fun car I have ever driven. I had great respect for it.

It was a privateer car, not a SA raced Trans Am car. Canadian company $sponsorship)  IIRC.

 I was in Ca. visiting my parents in NorCal, and was there to see a Trans Am 66 GT350 are Fantasy Junction. Stupidly decided not to buy it.

I think flew to SoCal with my older boy ( about 9 or so) to see the hand off off of 6S100, which I had been given a "then" great offer, and this blue car was for sale at the SAAC convention, and was  being raced.

My friend Pete Geisler helped me meet the owner, as he had been a parts customer I think. Pete fully informed me about his thoughts, helped me negotiate a price. I think went back to NorCal, and went to Sacramento to see a 66 blower car, that Pete asked me to see, and he bought it, from a long time SAAC member.

I then went home to Fl, an d returned and met Pete with his 3 car trailer, and loaded up the blue car, the Sac 66 and something else, and drove with him back to Fl.  with a TON of parts.

20+ years pass, I paid Pete to document the facts on the car, to avoid any future dispute. He did so, and what a wonderful person he is to rely on.

So, the blue car is a monster, but the seller is not being honest about its origins.

The fellow that bought the car from me was fully informed, and signed a statement as evidence. I think the car scared him, he bought it sight unseen. It has been for sale on virus platforms for several years.

It is a beautiful, fast 1966 Mustang. And by fast, I mean crazy fast. But, it is not SFM 2166.

I owned the car for 20+ years. When I sold it I had the buyer sign a statement of origin. I did so to protect me and my agent.

It IS all they say it is, but it is not 2166.

Now you know.

If not 2166, is it a scam listing?

My guess is no, they think it is 2166, 2166 no longer exists, as was gone decades ago, they person I bought it from was not honest with me, but I knew what I was buying.

I held it for 20 years, drove the wheels off it, and when I sold it, I made  a great profit ( probably not a good investment for 20 years in retrospect) but I also had 30K in parts that I sold off post car sale. The owner knows the cars history, he is not representing the car accurately.

I have owned some fast fun cars, this one took the cake. I dynoed the engine my rebuilt engine at 586 crank HP. It was insanely fast, and fun. My last Shelby does Vegas was epic. Several drives sought me out to ask what the hell is in the engine compartment. Accurate CI is 345 CI.
