amazing shine! i would just build another garage for it.cars like that are once in a lifetime for most people.

I wish it were that easy! The cost of building a garage and keeping it Climate control would cost a small fortune but nice thought!

I do have a couple of shipping containers that may work but in 115+ deg temps it would eat up the value of the car.
It's not sold yet so will have to wait until noon on Labor Day to make a decision.

I need to sell most or all of my collection to buy the GTD so would then only need 1 stall.

still trying to learn the photo attachment and downsize

Trying edit software and links

Always have trouble trying to post pics. Far too large makes them blurry

Just over 2 years since purchase. For the past 11 months I got a bit carried away in "cleanup" detailing.
Pretty much untouched since new but ended up pulling engine and transmission plus complete front and rear suspension, steering for a bit of Randy detail.
While it was scattered all over shop  FoMoCo gave me a Mustang GTD allocation so now the Cyclone gotta go to make room in shop and for $ to get the GTD.
I will post a BaT link when it goes live in a few days.

Few fresh photo of where it is at now.

the 1966 Cyclone GT in this condition are few and far between

Way back in early 1966 I was at a local news stand and spotted a car on cover I thought WOW sure like that one. Turns out it was a 1966 Cyclone GT. As a 9 yr old kid I wanted one some day.  I had 3 different 1967 R code comets and I found a 66 base cyclone just like in ads Red with white interior and white pinstripe but the Unrestored super nice Cyclone GT was very elusive.

July 18th last year I bought this one from Mike Brunson uncle Bob.  Crazy nice well preserved car. So original in fact it is scary.
Since then I have learned history from new with some of that info that came with car. I am now the 4th owner.

Bought new July 27th 1966 by a couple in Dunsmuir CA.  The original owner passed away in late 2014 and the son was executor of estate listed it in a estate sale March 2015.  A local person whom I have been in contact with purchased it then sold it to Bob Brunson. Took me a few years to be able to purchase it after seeing a pic posted by Mike.  Last year while on vacation took a side trip to go look at car. Took a bit to scrape up the $$ but they kindly held it for me.  Great family for sure.  Nice to see the collection they had also.

Over next few days will post more info and photo's.

I have driven it around 1400 miles so far with no issues. All I have done is a NOS set of points and installed new exhaust that came with car. Did a bunch more research on it's history.

So nice to see a total bone stock GT390 and how well it performs. Carb to pan never been messed with. Bob n Mike did install a new water pump but rest as delivered with exception of battery, belts, hoses. Body, Paint, Interior, CHrome, Trim and full drive train have never been touched. Nearly shocking is even all power steering components, tie rods, ball joints, remaining steering part still original to car. A testament to the 56k miles that is fully documented.

Included with car is the Original Window Sticker, Original California Title/Pink slip and ALL registrations from day of purchase 7/27/66. ANother interesting fact is the car showed up here 7/28/23

This is video of it's arrival.

I think Jay Brown also a fan of the '66 Cyclone?
