The Mustang was such a runaway success that Ford didn't want to mess with a good thing. For 1966, the Mustang's minor facelift included a new grill, side scoop ornament, hubcaps, and gas cap. The interior featured a redesigned dash pad and new patterned bucket seats and door panels.

Pete, the last two repaints are just stunning. Did you have a Mustang in that color combo and did you have a hardtop and convertible?

Pete your Emberglo repaints are outstanding. I have a friend who has an Emberglo coupe with a tan top and pony interior.

Thanks for the compliments! I've never owned an emberglo Mustang, but I've always liked the color. I considered painting my Mustang emberglo at one point, but it's a 1966-only color and my convertible is a 1965.

I've always liked the '66 best. I was 13 when my Uncle Eddie bought a '66 coupe in vintage burgundy with black interior I loved that car.
Pete I absolutely love your repaints, they're just incredible !

Emberglow was a very striking color on the Mustang but one that was very rarely seen in my area back in the day. A service station owner I worked for in 1970 had a coupe in this color with a black vinyl roof, much enhanced engine and 4-speed trans. I loved it and vowed to get one; which I did the following year when I bought a '66 coupe.

Very nice models. Do you know of any 1/24 scale Danbury or Franklin Mint models of the 1967 or 1968 Mustang in coupe body style?

@ed-davis No, the Mints never produced a '67 or '68 coupe and I've never seen one in 1/24 scale. I guess a Franklin or Danbury Mint's '65-'66 coupe's roof could be grafted onto a '67 convertible, but it would require some modification because the rooflines are a bit different.

GMP did 1967 and 1968 Shelby coupes though. These could be used for conversions I guess, but they are very pricy ($150-250) to start with. Hot wheels also did a decent 1967 Shelby coupe that is cheaper ($50-100) that could be converted too ...

Pete, Chav, thanks for your responses. My interest is because my first car was a 1967 Mustang coupe. I remember looking for such a model in the 1990s and early 2000s, and I could not find one. Later Greenlight came out with 1/64 and 1/18 scale models. Spark did a 1/43 scale version, but only a racing version. Remembering back, the 1:1 version was very popular.
