Build Cost
$20,000
What was the inspiration?
I've always wanted a 1966 Mustang convertible.We found this mustang in pretty rough shape.It was originally a 6-cylinder,T code car.Instead of restoring to original,we thought it would make a good canidate for a GT 350 tribute.
How long did it take you to build?
4.5 years,mostly weekend work.
Your future plans?
1965 Mustang Fastback,A code
Vehicle history
We purchased the car in Laramie,WY where a WyoTech Student started the restoration,but abandoned the project after barely getting started.
Thanks to
My dad,Michael Koritnik! He purchased the car for me as an incentive to graduate college.When i finally did,we worked on restoring the car together. Without his know-how,this car would have never turned out the way it did! I would also like to thank my grandfather,Louis Koritnik,for letting us use his shop!
