Pauline Morse - 1966 Coupe

http://www.piercecountymustangclub.com/cars/pmorse.htm


Pauline's Mustang is almost completely original. It has had a new paint job at some point, although it is still the original color of Wimbledon White with black vinyl top still perfectly intact. The car has only had one minor "fender bender." It was once owned by an elderly lady in California most of it's life, then kept in the family until one person bought it and only owned it for 3 years then sold it back to the same dealership (Memory Lane Motors in Renton). I have not found any rust on it and has all the original paperwork including owner's manual with the lady's name and info typed into it. Her favorite things about the car are that it only has 110,000 miles, it has the original engine using lead substitute and it runs perfect. Also the original AM/8-track radio still works and the black interior is still in perfect condition. She calls her car "The Time Machine." She joined the Pierce County Mustang Club because she wanted part of a club that would help her take care of it and maybe win in some shows for it's rare preservation.
